She sailed under a license from the British East India Company.[3] Egfrid sailed for England from the Cape of Good Hope but had to put into St Helena on 22 August 1821, leaky. It was expected that she would be condemned and so her cargo was transshipped on Centurion, Mead, master.[4] Egfrid was surveyed and condemned as a constructive total loss on 28 September.[5] Centurion sailed from St Helena on 29 September and arrived at Deal on 4 December, with Egfrid's cargo.[6]
