Between 400 and 500 St. Francis  and Mi'kmaq Indians attacked Arrowsic, Maine on September 10, 1722, in conjunction with Father Rale at Norridgewock. Captain Penhallow discharged musketry from a small guard, wounding three of the Indians and killing another. This defense gave the inhabitants of the village time to retreat into the fort, leaving the Indians in full possession of the village. They slaughtered 50 head of cattle and set fire to 26 houses outside the fort, then assaulted the fort, killing one New Englander but otherwise making little impression. That night, Col. Walton and Capt. Harman arrived with 30 men, to which were added approximately 40 men from the fort under Captains Penhallow and Temple. The combined force of 70 men attacked the Indians, but they were overwhelmed by their numbers. The New Englanders then retreated back into the fort. The Indians eventually retired up the river, viewing further attacks on the fort as useless.:119 During their return to Norridgewock, the Indians attacked Fort Richmond:119 with a three-hour siege. They burned homes and killed cattle, but the fort held. Brunswick and other settlements near the mouth of the Kennebec were destroyed. On March 9, 1723, Colonel Thomas Westbrook led 230 men to the Penobscot River and traveled approximately 32 miles  upstream to the Penobscot Village. They found a large Penobscot fort some 70 by 50 yards , with 14-foot  walls surrounding 23 wigwams. There was also a large chapel ). The village was vacant of people, and the soldiers burned it to the ground.:120. What happened first: Captain Penhallow discharged musketry or Thomas Westbrook led 230 men?
