British Forces storm Bocas Chica in detailed aid letter
An account from the 1740s describes a British assault on the Bocca Chica fort. Macleod leads a forlorn hope of 12 volunteers up the breach, the ladder fails then is fixed, the British colors fly, and the fort is secured with the Spaniards fleeing. Don Blas attempts counter measures as ships burn and escape, with several prisoners taken.
