 Chief Mate William Vagg, who had survived, was compelled by the coolies to steer the ship.He first sailed for Point Kamao (the southernmost point of Vietnam), but the coolies, on finding the area uninhabited, directed him to sail to Koon Chin or Ko-nana, Cochin China.That proved too difficult, so he was forced to steer for the island of Pulo Ubi, about south of Point Kamao, where they anchored.
