A reported plot aboard Alexander involved five convicts and some able seamen arming themselves with iron bars. Their alleged plan was to overpower the guard and sail the vessel toward the nearest landfall. An informant warned Duncan Sinclair, allowing him to confine the remaining crew and convicts while the suspected conspirators were identified. The accused leaders were flogged aboard Sirius and moved to Prince of Wales, while the informant was transferred to Scarborough for protection.
