Maurice Bernard sold the ship to Maurice Dubois in 1922. He in turn sold the ship in 1925 to a coal merchant Watteau, the ship now called Cyclone B778, and was managed by Victor Fourny. Sold in 1931 to Delpierre et Fils, now named Sainte Therese de Lisieux. That owner went bankrupt in 1932. No mention of its carreer from then until broken up.

She was registered as BA 127 (Patreksfjordur) first, as property of P.A. Olafsson, merchant and shipowner, in Patreksfjordur. In january 1913, she was sold to Reykjavik, to "Hf. Eggert Olafsson", and registered as RE 156. (Hf. is the Icelandic equivelant to to Ltd in UK, Akties. is one form of the danish abbreviation for Ltd., usually rendered As.) The managers name is properly spelled Elias Stefansson. P.A. Olafsson bought the ship for 6000 pounds, (135.000 kronur). Marine Nationale Francaise paid 400.000 kronur (22.000 pounds) for the ship.
