 Neither commander was keen to continue the action, Mitchell fearing that his undermanned ships would not be able to properly engage the better armed French vessels.Casualties among the French squadron are not known, but the only loss on the British ships was on "Nonsuch", which had a man killed in combat with "Cybèle".In need of reinforcement and resupply, Mitchell drew his squadron back to Batavia and was there joined by the 36 gun Dutch frigate "Amazone" under Captain Kerwal and an armed merchant ship.
