A force of about one hundred and ninety Loyalists and Cherokee arrive at Fort Lindley the next day.
Although they attempt an assault on the fort, its stockade walls are sufficient to withstand their weaponry, which is limited to muskets and native weapons such as tomahawks.
When the attackers begins to abandon the attempt on the fort in favor of easier raiding targets nearby, Major Downs leads a sortie from the fort.
In a running battle he managed to capture about a dozen Loyalists.
