In the account it says:

"At the fire the following men were lost: Second commander lieutenant Suhm, lieutenant baron Christian Carl Liliencrone and Morten Hirschnack, cadet Konrad Bruun, 3 lieutenant of the Marines together with 125 petty officers and seamen. 23 seamen and soldiers survived, by swimming to a small deserted rocky island. These miserable, naked and wounded men were soon taken as slaves."
