The remaining Frenchmen were transferred to a British steamer, Newburn, which had been stopped by the German ship, but not attacked, so as to enable them to be transported to Sabang, Sumatra, in the neutral Dutch East Indies.
Dva dana kasnije, preostali Francuzi prebačeni su na britanski parobrod Newburn, kojeg je njemački brod presreo, ali nije ga napao kako bi Francuze mogao prevesti u Sabang na Sumatri, u neutralnoj Nizozemskoj istočnoj Indiji.
