A group of seven Europeans led by Government Resident Charles Driver, accompanied by six Aboriginal men, travelled to Biddle’s station in search of Biddle, Fastings and Mrs Tubbs’ murderers. They encountered a large group surrounded by goods taken from Biddle’s station. The group fled but several men were pursued. A man named Stewart fired at one man who did not have a weapon in his hand. An additional two men were wounded.

Lieutenant Hugonin, 15 foot soldiers, the two Messrs Hawson, four mounted policemen, Schürmann, and at least two Aboriginal guides (one of whom was Port Lincoln man Tunba), attempted to surround an encampment of Aboriginal people at Palanna. They were unsuccessful due to the noise made by their horses as they crossed the limestone rocks surrounding the encampment.

A party comprised of Lieutenant Hugonin, soldiers of the 96th Regiment, European settlers, missionary and interpreter Clamor Schürmann, a Port Lincoln and Adelaide Aboriginal guide, surprised a group on the shores of Coffin Bay. Despite firm instructions not to fire, one soldier shot Numma in the stomach. Numma was fishing in the water. The soldier, and subsequently Hugonin, claimed Numma aimed his spear at him. Schürmann provides a different account.
