 However, the plan did not work very well, for while von Luckner was able to reach his destination, he ended up surrendering to a British lieutenant.Von Luckner spent the rest of World War I as a POW in New Zealand, though he successfully escaped on one occasion, absconding on the boat of the prison warden with several other prisoners, only to be recaptured later.Meanwhile, the rest of his crew captured a French schooner, "Lutece", which called at Mopelia, and sailed it to Easter Island arriving on 4 October and running aground there, after which they were interned by the Chilean authorities.
