July 1711 CE

Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spottswood of Virginia has decided to come to the aid of Hyde and has begun organizing a militia.

He dispatches a contingent of Royal Marines, who had been stationed on the Chesapeake in mid-July.

With the arrival of an organized military force, who represent the official power of the crown, Cary's forces disband and Cary himself flees.

Eventually arrested and sent to England for trial, he will be released after a year and will return to live out his life in Bath without further incident.
