Rather than put these whalers on the next Dutch ship, however, for some reason the Nagasaki authorities, on the grounds that they had no specific orders, held onto the thirteen crewmen (one more had died from illness), sparking the United States to send a mission to demand their release. The following year ([[1849]]), after calling at [[Naha]], the [[USS Preble|USS ''Preble'']] arrived at Nagasaki, took MacDonald and the thirteen surviving deserters aboard, and left for Shanghai.
