On 22 June 1842 Memnon, Commander F.T.Powell, arrived at Singapore, direct from England. At the time the United Kingdom was engaged in the First Opium War so Memmnon proceeded to Hong Kong. She did not proceed beyond Chusan and so did not participate in the subsequent operations of the war.Шаблон:Sfnp
Memnon arrived at Bombay from Hong Kong 26 January 1843. The EIC then used her to carry mail to and from Suez. On what would be her last voyage she left Bombay 22 July.Шаблон:Sfnp
Memnon was wrecked on 1 August 1843 off Cape Guardafui, Majerteen Sultanate, while on a voyage from Bombay to Suez. After many tribulations the crew were able to send a boat with some men that reached Aden on 25 August.
