On return, evidently, some issues with the payload (porcelain) occurred, causing debts for the Delft VOC chamber. Under the new command of George Philipp Gas, on 28 May 1788, with 237 person aboard, the "Horssen" traveled form Goeree to the Cape, where she arrived 12 October 1788. Departing on 17 October, she arrived in Batavia on 1 January 1789. After roughly a year, there followed minor trips within Asia. On 14 January 1790 the "Horssen" sailed to Bantam, returning to Batavia on 15 February. On 20 May 1790, she was sent to Chormandel and returned to Batavia on 3 December 1790. On 14 July 1791, she was ordered to sail for Java, and returned on 3 October 1791. Captain Gas was ordered for the return voyage to Europe before 17 December 1791, when the first call for a convoy of the four retourschips "Vreedenburg", "Horssen", "Hoornweg", and "Standvastigheid" (a Hoeker bought in Rotterdam in 1785) was issued. After second (19 December) and third (20 December) drum calls for assembling the crews, the ships started their voyage on 21 December for Cape Town. On board of the mentioned first three ships, the recaptured escapees of the Bryant family held in irons, as well as 10 survivors of the HMS Bounty and crew members of the HMS Pandora including Captain Edwards, were transported as passengers. The "Horssen" had registered 124 person on board, i. e. 105 seafarers, 7 soldiers and 12 passengers including one female and two male slaves, amongst them Mary Bryant and her daughter Charlotte. The ships arrived at Cape Town on 19 March 1792, after losing 8 seafarers. Mary Bryant, all the English persons, and others (totalling 15 people) were disembarked there. The "Horssen" left the Cape on 11 April, and finally reached Goeree on 12 July 1792. Later, Captain Gas acted as the Captain of VOC ship "Siam" travelling from Netherlands to Dutch Bengal late 1793, returning on 18 May 1795. In 1799 he lived still as a resident in Delft.
