Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I te kaha ake o ngā taumahatanga i waenganui i Prussia me Denmark i te mutunga o te tau, ka tohua a "Grille" hei kaipuke rangatira mō Prince Adalbert, te rangatira o te kaipuke o Prussia. Whai muri i te pakarutanga o te pakanga i te Hui-tanguru 1864, i whakahohehia ia mo tenei kaupapa i te 10 o Poutu-te-rangi, i taua wa i whakauruhia he tokorua o nga pupuhi 12-pauna. I noho tonu a "Grille" ki te tauranga i te wa i kawea ai e Eduard von Jachmann etahi kaipuke ki te moana ki te whakaeke i te poraka Danish, i hua ai te Pakanga o Jasmund
I te marama o Poutu-te-rangi. I eke a Adalbert ki runga i te kaipuke i te 29 o Poutu-te-rangi i Stralsund, a i te 6 o Paenga-whawha, i kite ia i nga whakangungu whakangungu me nga kaipuke pupuhi i te Bay of Greifswald. I rere a "Grille" i te 14 o Paenga-whawha me Adalbert i runga i te papa mo te horoi i te Bay o Pomerania i hua ai te whakatau ki te kaipuke Danish o te raina me te frigate paruka. I whakatuwherahia e "Grille" te ahi mai i tawhiti, i arahi ki te pakanga e rua me te hawhe haora te roa, i te mea i ngawari ai te "Grille" ki nga kaipuke Danish kaha ake. I rere ia ki Swinemünde, i te waahi i hipoki ai nga kaipuke patu o te 1st Flotilla me te roopu o Jachmann. I te mea e tata ana ki te pouri, ka whakatau te rangatira Danish, Admiral Edvard van Dockum, ki te whakamutu i te whai.
