Cochrane spent a month on shore, as explained in his despatch to the Admiralty, written aboard the Armide dated 18 January 1815. 'Upon the 16th therefore the advance, commanded by Colonel Thornton... took post upon the Isle aux Poix, a small swampy spot at the mouth of the Pearl river, about thirty miles from the anchorage... where Major-General Keane, Rear-Admiral Codrington, and myself joined them on the following day [17 Dec 1814].... This arrangement [for withdrawal] being in a forward state of execution, I quitted head quarters on the 14th instant, leaving Rear-Admiral Malcolm to conduct the naval part of the operations in that quarter, and I arrived at this anchorage on the 16th [January], where I am arranging for the reception of the army, and preparing the fleet for further operations.' Reproduced in the London Gazette. "No. 16991". The London Gazette. 9 March 1815. pp. 449–451.
