Of the 69 Miyako Islanders on board the ship, three drowned, and 54 were killed by Taiwanese aborigines. [[Yanagihara Sakimitsu]], a Japanese official in Shanghai, reported the incident to Tokyo roughly six months later. That same year (1872), some months after being shipwrecked, the twelve survivors rescued by the Chinese returned home to Miyako via [[Fuzhou]], and King [[Sho Tai|Shô Tai]] sent his official thanks to the Chinese emperor and authorities for rescuing and returning his subjects.
