In the beginning of the battle the Native Americans attacked, but since the settlers were warned by friendly Indians, most of the settlers barricaded themselves in blockhouses. The Indian warriors were driven off by artillery fire from the U.S. Navy sloop-of-war Decatur, but it was primarily the Decatur's guns that kept the Indians at a distance. The settlers who still remained tool advantage of the lull to evacuate the women and children to the Decatur and another ship, but they attempted to retrieve arms and valuables from their abandon homes which then the Indians begin to resume firing. Scouts reported the warriors were preparing to light fire to settler dwellings, the Decatur shifted its fore to the homes damaging several. By 10 p.m. all firing had stopped. Many settlers have died and the Indians admitted to have 28 dead and 80 wounded.
