After this demonstration, the objectof which was to deter them from quitting their shelter, we returned toPisco. General San Martin having now given me discretionary power to do what Ipleased with the few troops placed at my disposal, I determined onattacking Arica, the southernmost port of Peru. Reimbarking the troops, and abandoning Pisco, we sailed on the 21st, and on the 1st of Mayarrived off Arica, to the Governor of which I sent a summons tosurrender, promising to respect persons and pers...onal property. As thiswas not complied with, an immediate bombardment took place, but withoutany great effect, as, from the difficulties of the port, it wasimpracticable to get sufficiently near to the fortifications. After a careful survey, the _San Martin_ was on the 6th, hauled nearerin shore, and some shells were thrown over the town by way ofintimidation. As this had not the desired effect, a portion of thetroops was landed at Sama, to the northward of the town, being followedby Colonel Miller with the remainder, and Captain Wilkinson with themarines of the _San Martin_; when the enemy fled, and the patriot flagwas hoisted on the batteries.
