  • - after battle of the Bay, Marine du roi set out to the western edge of the Silliers Channel to pounce on the Confederation fleet returning from escort duty from Majatra - Marine due roi left the shipping lines between the mainland and their beachhead on the Isle with minimal escort in order to bring together the largest fleet in order to beat the more experienced & better trained navy of the Isle - various patrols were sent out with the bulk of the fleet, including its galleys & ships of the line waiting in reserve in long north-to-south running figure-eight sailing pattern off the northwestern coast of La Tondelle - 21 December 1567, royal corvettes Gaston & Ardent picked up sails in the Sea of Lost Souls approaching the opening of the Channel; the Gaston returned to the fleet with the news while the Ardent maintained distance and screened the Confederation's fleet - only a day before, Admiral Charles François Gabaret of the Confederation navy heard news from the fluyt Timothée Trullet of the sightings of several friendly fishing boat captains of the Marine du roi - Gabaret gambled and broke his escorting fleet away from the convoy and headed to where he believed the enemy fleet to be; his hunch proved right as his ships sighted the shadowing Ardent - Gabaret was cautious and maintained a tight formation until dusk on 22 October when he ordered the two schooners François and Louise along with the fast frigate Grace de la mer to sneak upon the Ardent in the night overtake her - the three vessels chased down the Ardent in the dark; and after a quick firefight successfully boarded her for a prize; with skeleton crews, the Louise and the newly-captured Ardent retreated to the safe harbors of the Isle - meanwhile, the advanced ships signaled Admiral Gabaret that they had sighted sails in the pre-dawn morning of 23 October; both sides formed into lines and cautiously drew near each other in the early morning light
