Not being able to post all his forces in it, Coates had established himself in the town with the Eighthes who had landed with a howitzer, and soon riddled Coates' headquarters with canister shot. The situation ofd compel it to surrender. But his inaction allowed Coates to regain the advantage, notwithstanding the small
