Following French success against Schenectady and Salmon Falls, Rene Robinau de Portneuf and Augustine de Courtmanche soon led Canadians and Indians against Fort Loyal at Falmouth, near modern Portland, Maine, held by Captain Sylvanus Davis. When a British sortie was destroyed the garrison surrendered, but over 100 were butchered and Davis was held prisoner.
