 French losses were more severe, "Minerve" suffered 23 casualties and "Ceylon" eight.With both sides recognising that further action was inevitable, Willoughby sent a boat to "Sirius" requesting additional assistance and Duperré sent a message overland with Lieutenant Morice, requesting support from Hamelin's squadron (Morice fell from his horse during the mission and was severely injured).Command of "Victor" passed to Henri Moisson.
