Marathas to surprise Underi in the dark night of 1st August 1680 totally failed, the Siddis next day bringing to Bombay 80 severed heads of the defeated assailants. A year afterwards the attempt was repeated on a vaster scale but with no better success. About the middle of August 1681, Shambhuji's flotilla of 22 gallivats tried to land 4,000 men on the island of Underi, but were beaten off by the Siddi fleet after a four hours' fight.
