Lt. Col. James Jackson with five of his Georgia Legion stopped at a Mr. Snider's house to let them rest. Before daylight on Sunday, Maj. Dill landed nearby and attacked Mr. Snider's home with thirty Loyalists.

During the fight, seventeen musket balls passed through the house. Mr. Snider and the Patriots returned fire and killed Maj. Dill. Pistol fire from the dragoons wounded two more Loyalists. Then, the sabre wielding Patriots chased Maj. Dill's men back to their boats, where they escaped.

Gen. Anthony Wayne commended Mr. Snider for his bravery during the attack.
