The Flert force under Pitry bn returned to cruise along the coast touching Laguna Frontera and other ports. They raised blockades, imposed a ten percent war tax on exports, seized the Fort at the river mouth, destroyed enemy guns, and saluted with a twenty one gun salute.

The party also secured a chart and topographical notes for the isthmus crossing from the original survey.
