In the action, Chown had his arm torn off by a cannon-shot, and expired in his wife's arms.

So again, in little more than three years from her first marriage, Mrs.Chown was left a widow when she could hardly have been eighteen.

The captured vessels and the prisoners were carried off; the crews to Gheriah and the European prisoners to Colaba.

To make matters worse for the poor widow, she was expecting the birth of an infant.
Great was the excitement in Bombay when the news of Mrs.Chown's capture arrived.

The Governor was away at Surat, and all that could be done was to address Angria; so a letter was written to him 'in English and Gentues,' asking for the captives and all papers to be restored, and some medicine was sent for the wounded.
