Due to the emotional conflict between the two parties, the Portuguese eventually became so angry and embarrassed that they chose to use fishing boats to launch a collision. After the fishing boats neared, they attacked the Australasian fishermen with crude guns.
The attacked Australasians were seriously injured. Although their lives were not in danger, they required significant treatment costs, and there was even the possibility of permanent disability.
After the successful attack, the Portuguese seized the Australasian fishermen's harvest and left arrogantly with insulting words.
Eventually, the injured fishermen were discovered by an Australasian patrol fleet and barely survived.
Of course, the official explanation for the incident came from Australasia and was published in the Victoria Newspaper and the Australasia Daily.
