To answer both you and another prior poster, IMHO it went down like this:
It was a set up or a well thought out ambush.
The boats were seen, on a regular basis, out on their own with only small arms.
So, they get surrounded by over powering forces and are forced to put down their arms.
Any kind of back up, coming to the area late, would just cause a war to start. And the Brits dying first.
