The Fight for a Free Sea: A Chronicle of the War of 1812

CHAPTER IV
17/35

The mishap at Fort George had by no means knocked the fight out of them.

Vincent himself led six hundred men back in the middle of a black night (the 6th of June) and fell upon the American camp.

A confused battle followed.
The two forces intermingled in cursing, stabbing, swirling groups.

The American generals, Chandler and Winder, walked straight into the enemy's arms and were captured.

The British broke through and took the American batteries but failed to keep them.
