Upon arrival Qing authorities assured Commander Febiger that the attack was carried out by warriors of a village that did not practice respect of the nation's laws. With this information, the Ashuelot returned and notified Rear Admiral Bell. At this point diplomatic pressure proved a failure so as was typical of the time; a punitive expedition was decided on. Bell, with the screw sloop-of-war USS Wyoming and his flagship USS Hartford left Shanghai in June for southern Formosa.
