On February 18th, Maj. John Jameson of the 1st Continental Light Dragoons captured three British soldiers of the 23rd Regt when they drifted too far from their lines. On the night of February 19th, a British row galley blew up in the Stono River. It was blamed on two drunken sailors who had a "nymph" with them.

On February 22nd, Maj. Hezekiah Maham, of Col. Daniel Horry's SC Light Dragoons, and Capt. William Sanders of the Round O Militia company within the Colleton County Regiment, conducted a reconnaissance of the British lines near Stono Ferry. They managed to capture Capt. McDonald and eight men on a British picket. This was the first "offensive" action since the British had landed on February 11th.
