When Boishébert receives word that the British are planning an expedition to the Petitcodiac River, he hurries to Chipoudy, where he organizes one hundred and twenty Acadians, Maliseets and Mi'kmaq into a guerrilla fighting force.

During the Bay of Fundy Campaign on August 28, Monckton sends Major Joseph Frye with an expedition of two hundred provincial militia from Fort Cumberland in two armed sloops, with instructions to clear Acadians settlements on the Petitcodiac River.

After setting the buildings on fire at Shepody, New Brunswick, they begin moving up the river, torching settlements and taking prisoners along the way.
