The "Sarandi" returned a month later and its commander Jose Pinedo took control. His investigation was interrupted on 2 January 1833 by the arrival of HMS "Clio" under the command of Captain Onslow. Onslow had been sent to assert British sovereignty over the islands and requested that the "Sarandi" and garrison leave the islands. The "Sarandi" and the "Rapid" departed on 5 January 1833 taking the mutineers to Buenos Aires.
