On being questioned he said his name was William Knopp, and that he came from Wilhelmshaven. Knopp was shipwrecked in 1894 on the Gold Const, and, has been very well received by the tribe. They quickly established friendly relations with him. and finally appointed him their chief. Knopp adder! that he was as happy as a king, and did not in the least regret that he had cut himself off from civilisation.
