Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I te tau 1803, i muri i te Hau o Amiens, i mahi a Hillyar i te Moana-a-Kiwa i "Niger", ka paopao ki te whakatairanga i a Herelovian na te mea kua waiho ia ia ki te rahui mo te haurua o te utu, na te mea ka mahue tana whanau. I kitea e Horatio Nelson tenei, a i tino taunaki a Hillyar mo te mahi ki a Lord St Vincent i te Admiralty. I te mutunga, i whakatairangahia a Hillyar ka whakaaetia kia pupuri i a "Niger", me te whakanui ake i nga patu, i te Moana-a-Kiwa. I te tau 1805 i marenatia ia ki a Mary Taylor, tamahine a te kaipuke kaipuke o Malta. I te tau 1807 ka uru atu ia ki te kaipuke e whakarite ana mo nga mahi i te Moana Baltic, a i te tau 1809 ka whakahau ia i te 98-gun HMS "St George" hei rangatira rangatira mo Eliab Harvey. I taua tau ano i whakawhiwhia ki a ia tetahi atu kaipuke mo te mahi motuhake, ko HMS "Phoebe". I whakahaua e Hillyar a "Phoebe" i te Moana Inia me te East Indies i te 1810 me te 1811, a i tae atu ia ki te whakaekenga o Ile de France me te whakaekenga o Java
He aha? I te 20 o Mei 1811, ko ia tetahi o nga rangatira i uru ki te Pakanga o Tamatave, i te wa i hinga ai tetahi roopu kaipuke Parani me te hopu i nga kaipuke e rua.
