November 1807 CE

A squadron of British vessels stationed at the Humen stop the Tonquin and detain it for a day.

The following day, orders from Commodore Pellew arrive, detailing that the Tonquin is to be freed immediately and sending Fanning "his apology for your detention, and his good wishes, that you may have a pleasant and safe passage."

Prior to the departure of the principal British officers, a toast to the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was held.

Fanning will return to New York City with a full cargo of valuable trade goods on March 6, 1808.
