Geoff Hunt's dramatic print illustrates one of the most desperate actions of the campaign - "AM...observed a strange Sail bearing ENE. Made Sail in Chase of a Brigantine..." so begins the logbook account of a memorable pursuit by the brig FANTOME, Captain Butterfield, on anti-slavery patrol. After a 24-hour chase FANTOME caught the runaway and discovered her to be the fast Portuguese slaver JOSEPHINA, which had already outrun four other Men of War, and was carrying 290 slaves. A lieutenant and eight men were put on board to conduct the prize to Sierra Leone, where the slaves could be freed.
