== Summary ==
After the [[Capture of Wandiwash]] Eyre Coote proceeded to Carangoly on 4 December. Batteries were constructed and by 10 December the fort capitulated with honour. Following this Coote returned to Wandiwash and, on hearing de Bussy was concentrating forces at Arcot, he marched towards that city. Bad weather and lack of supplies compelled him to place his army in cantonment; first in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaveripakkam Coveripauk] (Kaveripak) and then in Chinesimandsum (Chimasasmudram) a short distance from Arcot. This was the end of the campaign in 1759.
