This was the first public manifestation of a pattern of Cochrane being unable to get along with many of his superiors, subordinates, employers, and colleagues in several navies and Parliament, even those with whom he had much in common and who should have been natural allies. His behaviour led to a long enmity with John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent. In February 1. 80. Cochrane commanded the prize crew taking the captured French vessel Gnreux to the British base at Mahn.

The enemy frigate followed the light and Speedy escaped. In February 1. 80. Malta, Cochrane got into an argument with a French Royalist officer at a fancy dress ball.
