Though the jolly boat was crowded, Collins sent her back to the wreck to attempt to retrieve those crewmen who had remained behind, unwilling to leave their possessions.

The boat was able to retrieve three; however, six Europeans, seven Chinese, and three lascars refused to leave and stayed on the wreck.

Earl Spencer and Monarch were out of sight, but Collins steered his boats in the direction they had sailed and after some hours was able to catch them up.
