		But Commodore Chauncey brought from 400 to 500 officers and men with him, and local resources for building being abundant, he had by November formed a squadron of ten vessels, with which he attacked the Canadian port, York, taking it in April 1813, capturing one vessel and causing the destruction of another then building.
		The retreat of the British force gave Chauncey time to complete this vessel, the General Pike, which was so far superior to anything under Yeos command that she was said to be equal in effective strength to the whole of the British flotilla.
		Commodore Chauncey showed a preference for relying on his long guns, and a disinclination to come to close quarters.

	War of 1812 - U.S. Commodore Chauncey at Burlington Bay by Robert Malcomson ...
		Shortly after Chauncey exchanged broadsides with Yeo around 12:30 PM twelve miles south of York, the Americans had reason to think that a victory similar to the one Oliver Hazard Perry had won earlier in the month was close at hand.
		A third reason for Chauncey deciding to give up his chase is that he was, as he had been from the day he received orders to take command on the lakes, beholden to work in cooperation with the army.
		Chauncey made that decision even though he and his officers, with Sinclair ranking high among them, were smarting from the news that Perry had won on Lake Erie.
