Talk:Pels Rijcken

Soembing
Pels Rijcke (which is his double surname by the way, not a combination of his Christian and surname) arrived in Japan as captain of the Gedeh which accompanied Soembing under the command of capt. Fabius. Pels Rijcke remained behind in Japan as leader of the military mission, while Fabius left again on board Gedeh on Nov. 15, 1855 (see J.A. van der Chijs, Neêrlands streven tot openstelling van Japan voor den wereldhandel: Uit officieele, grootendeels onuitgegeven bescheiden toegelicht The Hague, Frederik Muller, 1867, p. 460).--Ereunetes (talk) 20:06, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
