eminsang travelled back to the gold coast on the same ship that carried nagtglas there. upon arrival, nagtglas appointed eminsang as a member of the colonial council of the dutch gold coast. when it became apparent that the dutch were negotiating a treaty to transfer their possessions on the gold coast to the united kingdom, eminsang led the attempts by the elminese to stop the transfer, and together with other dutch loyalists paid for a visit to the hague by david mill graves, in an ultimate attempt to stop the ratification of the treaty. eminsang wrote a letter to the german ambassador in the hague asking german emperor william i for mediation and protection, to be handed over by mill graves.
