 On arrival in Britain in early 1810, Corbet was transferred to HMS "Africaine", which ship was deemed more appropriate for service in the Indian Ocean, to which Corbet was ordered to return.When word that Corbet was to take command arrived on board "Africaine", the crew protested to the Admiralty, furious that such a brutal captain had been placed in command of them.They also warned that they would take steps to prevent Corbet from embarking the ship should he attempt to come aboard.
