He was assigned with the task of capturing or killing the tyrannical Mayor of Cedar Key, FL , William "Billy" Cottrell. LeStrange and Captain Smythe of the USRC McLane chased Cottrell as far as they could up the Suwannee River. But due to resistance from the local residents, they were unable to apprehend William Cottrell. They did however capture 6 of his buddies who took part in the rampaging of Cedar Key.
