In may 1810, between service on HMS Grampus and HMS Fame, it is possible that Walter Bathurst was captain again of HMS Salsette which carried Byron on excursions. There is a letter on page 900 of Shelley and his circle : 1773 - 1822 which I present as proof.

Sorry. I don't have it. You will need to contact the National Archives in Kew. ADM 53/519 covers most of 1811, but it isn't available digitally so you would need to find someone to copy to for you.

Dear Sirs,
My name is Christian Onoratto, and I am an advanced student of history, and I wonder if you could send me a digitalized copy of HMS Fame´s (1805) Frigate log-book. It was at the orders of Captain Bathurst, in march, 1811, that is the period I need. Capt. Bathurst sailed from Buenos Ayres to London taking as passenger Dr. Mariano Moreno, who died during this voyage. The purpose of my research is to review Moreno´s death and discard the feebly based (but popular) myth of his poisoning by means of Capt. Bathurst´s lieutennant.
Thanks in advance.
Christian Ariel Onoratto
