Where was the Royal Navy escort at Pulo Aura?

Where was the Royal Navy when the Battle of Pulo Aura happened?

Two third rates, HMS Sceptre and HMS Albion, were on their way. Their arrival is dated to 28 February in the main account and described as the next day in the follow-up.

HMS Sceptre and HMS Albion were sailing to join the convoy when Dance had to deal with Linois. Both were 74-gun third rates and would have changed the balance of force. The main narrative dates their arrival to 28 February, while the follow-up answer says the day after the battle. Those timings conflict, but both accounts place the two warships' arrival after the action.
