Lt. Col. Henry Lee and his Legion attacked the fort and overwhelmed the defenders.

Maj. Maxwell stated that he would surrender only if he and his men could keep their plunder, which they had scoured over the past few weeks. Since there was a chance that Lord Rawdon would arrive soon Lt. Col. Lee agreed, however he wanted all the horses in the garrison. Maj. Maxwell's mounted troops objected and the negotiations were suspended.

Lt. Col. Lee then got word that Lord Rawdon had crossed the Santee River and was marching to Ft. Granby with reinforcements, so he changed his mind and agreed to Maj. Maxwell's terms. The British marched out of the fort with its artillery, a large quantity of baggage, and all the loot from the countryside.

After Lt. Col. Lee removed the remaining supplies from the fort, he ordered it to be destroyed. He managed to capture 192 muskets, 86 bayonets, 63 rifles, 8,928 musket cartridges, 100 cartridge boxes, 3,000 flints, 120 pounds of powder, 328 pounds of lead, twenty 12-pound canister shots, and one drum.
