 The Diomede subsequently bore the flag of Sir James Saumarez, at Guernsey; and Lieutenant Brine continued in her until his father’s appointment to the second command at Plymouth, when he proceeded thither, and served under his flag as long as it remained hoisted. He was afterwards successively appointed to the Boadicea frigate, Rose sloop, and Victory first rate; the latter fitting for the reception of Sir James Saumarez, as commander-in-chief on the Baltic station. This was in 1808; and Lieutenant Brine appears to have continued serving under the same distinguished officer until promoted by him to the command of the Reynard brig, Aug. 13, 1812. Towards the close of the same year, he was removed to the Sheldrake 16, on the North Sea station, which vessel he paid off at the termination of the war.

Captain Brine’s last appointment was, Aug. 25, 1815, to the Mosquito 18, fitting for the St. Helena station, from whence he returned to Portsmouth, Nov. 7, 1818. He obtained post rank on the 7th of the ensuing month.
