On the 4th the frigates Duke and Duchess start the attack but are repulsed by the Spanish defence of just over 30 soldiers with Filipino sailors and passengers (many sick).
The next day the Marquis joined the attack but again Spanish resistance prevented the boarding. The privateers finally gave up.
