the Danish victory, the Bey of Tripoli signed a peace treaty with Denmark on 25 May. Najaden was released from the Mediterranean squadron in August 1798, shortly after Steen Andersen Bille's return from his embassy to Morocco. Late in 1798 Najaden, again under Captain Johan Cornelius Krieger, convoyed seven ships from Flekkerø to Malaga. One of the ship's officers was Andreas Schifter who was captured in May 1800 and held prisoner by the Bey of Tunis for three months. Najaden completed her tour of duty and was ordered home (with Sejeren, Freia and Havfruen) leaving Malaga on 29 March 1801, arriving near Bergen on 24 April 1801. In 1804 Najaden returned to the Mediterranean with Captain Friderich Christian Fisker, who reported on the loss of one of the ship's boats in August near Marseille and a fire from lightning strike in the foretop sail in September. British service Capture The British captured Najaden at the Battle of Copenhagen on 7 September 1807. Lieutenant John Gore brought her home in October. She was to be renamed Hephaestion but the Admiralty canceled the name change. After refit she joined the British Navy as HMS Nyaden (sometimes given as Nijaden). Anglo-Russian War Nyaden was commissioned under Captain Frederick Cottrell (or Cotterell) in February 1809 and may have sailed for Greenland on 2 March. Under Cottrell Nyaden participated in at least one and possibly two actions during the Anglo-Russian War. In June 1809 her boats, under the command of her senior lieutenant, A. Wells, participated in a night raid on Kildin Island that wiped out a Russian garrison. Boats from the Nyaden also captured some 22 or 23 coastal trading vessels in the Kola River, many upriver from the present city of Murmansk. The landing party took away the fort's guns or threw them into the Kola River. On 9 June Nyaden captured the Russian vessels Peter Metropolite, Neptune, and Magnum Brostrum, for which prize money was paid on 4 July 1811. Then on 15 June Nyaden captured two Russian vessels, Rolla and Czar Constantine, for which prize money was paid on 23 February 1810. Unfortunately, it is unclear what connection, if any, these vessels had with the raid on Kildin. Nyaden was probably the vessel whose boats in July took possession of Catherine Harbour, in the ostrog or fortified settlement of Kola. The British also commandeered all the stores belonging to the White
