十二月，遂偕福建提督張見升追牽入澳，窮其所向，至黑水洋。 In the twelfth month he joined Fujian Commander-in-Chief Zhang Jiansheng in pursuing Qian into the open ocean, following him all the way to the Black Water Sea.

時戰艦數十倍於賊，見升庸懦，遙見總統船亂，遽退，牽乃遁入安南外洋。 The fleet outnumbered the pirates many times over, but Zhang Jiansheng was timid and incompetent. Seeing the commander's ship in disarray from a distance, he hastily withdrew, and Qian escaped into the waters beyond Annam.
