After the German schooner "Chusan" stranded on an island on the south coast of Korea in early June 1871 and the crew had returned to China (Category: "Crew Members of Civil Ships" - 'Schölke'), the wreck in Chefoo is auctioned off to two Englishmen. Immediately afterwards, the new owners sail a junk to the specified location in Korea, where they arrive at the end of June 1871. China-based German Brinckmann is also with her. While the two Englishmen go ashore on the island and are immediately captured by the local authorities, Brinckmann stays on board and sails off again at the request of the Koreans. On the way back to China, Brinckmann is murdered by the Chinese crew and thrown overboard. (See also category: "Military & Nobility" - 'Hassenpflug').
