Two Union ships bombarded Fort Brooke on October 16 as a diversion, while a landing party under Acting Master T.R. Harris disembarked at Ballast Point and marched 14 miles to the Hillsborough River to capture several steamers. Harris and his men surprised and captured the blockade running steamer ''Scottish Chief'' and sloop ''Kate Dale''. The Rebels destroyed the steamer ''A.B. Noyes'' to preclude her capture. On its way back to the ship, Harris’s force was surprised by a detachment of the garrison, causing casualties. (''NPS summary'')
