The expedition was led by the Governor of Danish India, Willem Leyel, and executed by the sloop Valby.

Leyel managed to seize a Bengali vessel, which included 34 slaves and seemingly converted them to Christianity.

Because of previous cargo losses, the Danish East India Company declared war on the Mughal Empire in 1642 and began conducting a series of private ventures against Bengali merchants.

[3][4] The new expedition brought a prize with a load of Bengali linen, pepper, a small amount of ambergris and some Chinese silk.

[5][6] The slaves were presumably sold according to oral tradition, however, the consequences for Gany and the likely Muslim Moorish merchants are unknown.
