The Saturday, May 26, 1860 edition of the Polynesian featured news in another story the about the appointment of Charles Wolcott Brooks as commercial agent for Japan in California:
JAPANESE COMMERCIAL AGENT –We learn from our San Francisco exchanges that the Admiral [“Timmurah-Seto-no-Kami, Timurrah, Prince or Lord of Seto” was Admiral Yoshitake Kimura, Lord of Settsu, Superintendent of Warships] of the Japanese Corvette Candimarrah has appointed Mr. Charles Wolcott Brooks Commercial Agent for Japan in California. The appointment of Consul would have been conferred, but for the fact that the Admiral lacked the power. He stated, however, that the Emperor would probably make the appointment hereafter.
