The Rangers return to the river. Captain…
November 1758 CE
Captain Silvanus Cobb continues to ferry Rangers up and down the river to destroy the houses and crops over two nights, November 13–14.
Acadian resistance appears early in the morning of November 14.
Two of Danks' Rangers are missing.
The Rangers overwhelm the Acadians once Danks' reinforcement of a platoon of Rangers arrives, and takes a dozen women and children hostage.
Joseph Gorham reports that he had burned over a hundred homes and Danks reports that he has destroyed twenty-three buildings.
The Rangers now return with the prisoners to Fort Frederick at the mouth of the St. John River.
The Acadian refugees from the Petitcodiac River Campaign go to the Penobscot River, a region that Preble and Pownall are prepared to sweep in early 1759, while a part of the regulars under Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Rollo has been arresting and deporting Acadians in the Ile Saint-Jean Campaign.
