At about noon on 19August 1840, British corvettes, accompanied by the ''Louisa'' cutter and ''Enterprise'' steamer, having seamen and marines of the ''Druid'' with Bengal volunteers on board, attacked the barrier. The vessels opened fire on a battery about away which promptly returned fire.〔Bingham 1843, p. 398〕 A British officer wrote, "The () junks, which were aground in the inner harbour, were utterly useless, for none of their guns could be brought to bear, though several of the thirty-two pound shots of the ships found their way over the bank, much to the consternation of the occupants of the junks."〔〔Bingham 1843, p. 399〕 In less than an hour, the batteries were silenced and the British forces were landed. They consisted of a brigade of 380 men comprising 110 Royal Marines, 90 seamen from the ''Druid'', and 180 troops from the Bengal volunteers.〔Bingham 1843, p. 400〕
