In August 1867 two young sailors on the British warship Icarus, were found dead on a Nagasaki street with wounds obviously inflicted by samurai swords. The British consul, Marcus Flowers, was infuriated that British citizens were still unsafe on Nagasaki streets eight years after the Ansei Treaty and the opening the port, and he pointed a blaming finger at the Kaientai, a group of disengaged Tosa samurai promoting the clan's commercial and military interests here.  His reason for jumping to this conclusion was that a Kaientai ship had been seen leaving Nagasaki Harbor the evening of the murders.  As chief of the Tosa Clan's trading agency in Nagasaki, Iwasaki -- accompanied by William Alt -- called on Marcus Flowers to assure him that the Kaientai members were innocent and that he would make every effort to find the criminals.  After much delay -- and vociferous complaints from the British government -- Iwasaki finally determined that samurai of the Kuroda Clan (present-day Fukuoka Prefecture) were responsible, that the matter had been reported to clan officials but kept secret, and that the leader of the guilty party had already been ordered to commit seppuku.  The incident was finally resolved in early 1869 when the rest of the criminals were apprehended and imprisoned and the lord of the Kuroda Clan paid an indemnity to the sailors' bereaved families in England.

Another of the early British diplomats, Marcus Flowers, the Consul at Nagasaki, commented in 1868 that the Japanese were "...so anxious to learn that there is not a single steamer that enters the harbour but they are sure to visit and take minute copies of everything they see and such rapid progress have they made with regard to machinery that they are able to work all the steamers they have recently purchased, by themselves..."
