 In a second attempt, boats towed frigates close to the Bufadero, where they anchored.Despite the Paso Alto castle firing on them, the contrary currents, and the lack of animals to carry the artillery, 1,000 British soldiers landed on Valle Seco beach with some equipment.In the middle of the night, some of the boats did not reach the beach and ended up strewn around, as no British officers knew its location.
