		In January 1833, while Pinedo and his troops were pursuing the murderers, British Captain James Onslow arrived at the Islands on HMS Clio, under instructions to take and hold the Islands for Britain.

		According to historian W. Boyson, Clio's presence constituted "the embodiment of dazzling order, discipline and restraint." Onslow convinced outnumbered Pinedo to quit the Islands under protest but without firing a single shot.
