British won
French captured British prisoners of war from Grassy Island, British soldiers wandered around Louisbourgh and they looked for weaknesses. One weakness was low morale around the fortress because they weren't getting paid. After they let the prisoners go, they attacked using these weaknesses
During the second siege, they attacked one ship and the fire spread to two ships. Also brought weapons across on sledges.
