The Dutch detached some of their forces attacking the Portuguese in Brazil to attack Fort Elmina on the Gold Coast region Gold Coast in Africa. 9 Ships and 1,300 men were sent under the command of Colonel Hans Coine. They landed on July 24, and proceeded to canoe down the Sweet River towards the Portuguese fort. A hill dominated the fort that Coine determined need be taken if they were to take the fort. However, 1,000 natives allied to the Portuguese were at the base of it, preventing the Dutch from seizing it. Coine sent a force after it, but it was cut to pieces.

After the second failed attack, the Portuguese fell back into their redoubt at the summit of the hill. However, the position was soon taken by the Dutch who then proceeded to bring up a mortar and two cannon to fire on the fort. The next day the Dutch attacked the fort itself, but were driven back. Nonetheless, the Dutch bombardment did not cease.
