EMDEN

VIVID ACCOUNT BY AN OFFICER

OF THE SYDNEY.'

An officer on board H.M.A.S. Sydney in a letter to his father writes:

I will now give you some account of our action with the Amden on November 10th and 11th.

On November 8th we were steaming about 30 miles to the eastward of the Cocos Islands (south-west of Java), head ing for Colombo, when at 7 a.m. we took in very interrupted wireless messago from the Cocos wireless station-Strange warship

off entrances. The Melbourne, as senior, officer, ordered us to raise steam for full speed and go and investigate.

I was in my bath when Bell-Salter came in with news that the enemy was within 40 miles of us, I, of course; took it for a leg haul," but he soon convinced me and the noise made by the propellers going at rapidly increasing speed soon left us in a state of great elation. It was, as far as I was concerned, quite sincere, though at the back of my mind, wordering whether I might be knocked out. I am little interested as to what other fellows were feeling, but it is a question I have never heard answered satisfactorily. Anyone I have heard speaking on the anbject mys, O-o-oh yes, of course was in an awful funk! This usually from a most stolid, and unimaginative looking man. At any rate, although I had been a little livery the two previous days, I happened to feel as fit as a lark that morning, and at 7:30 am, sent for the barber, and had my hair cut, to the Bccompaniment of no end of badinage from the surrounding cabins, which they got back in kind and with interest.

At 9.15 am. the tops of the cocoanus trees of Keeling Islands were sighted At 0.10 we sighted the Emden, or rather the tops of her funnels, 12 or 15 miles away. At 0.40 am, she opened fire at a very big range, and shortly after that we started in on her.

THE FIRST HALE HOUR.

ing to do this when someone called out, Sho's still firing, sir, and every one ran back to the guns What had happene was a cloud of yellow or very light|| coloured smoke had obscured her from view, so that looking in her direction disappeared, Later, we turned again and one's impression was that the had totally engaged her on the other broadside.

By now her three fannels and her for mast had been shot away, and she was on fire aft. We turned again, and after board guns saw her run ashore on North giving her a salvo or two with the star Keeling Island. Bo at 11.20 am, we ceased firing, the action having Jasted one hour and 40 minutes

been in attendance on the Einden, and We started chasing a collier which had when we rounded her up we found they had opened the sea cocks and the ship was sinking fast, so we took every one off here: and returned to the Emden, getting back there at about 4 p.m.ABAS NA

November 10th-Early in the morning we made for the cable station, to find that the party landed by the Germans to destroys the station had seized a schooner and departed. The poor dovils aren't likely to go far with a leaking, ship and the leathers removed from all the pumps. Although they had broken up all the instruments, the cable people had a dupli- cate set buried, so that was, satisfactory.

At 11.10... we arrived off the Emden. again. I was sent over to her in ono ot the cutters. Luckily her storn was stick ing out beyond where the surf broke, no that with a rope from the stern of the ship one could ride close under the one quarter, with the boat's bow to scawardi rollers were very big, and the surging to and fro and so on made getting aboard fairly difficult. However, the Germans standing aft gave ine a hand up, and I was received by the captain of the Emden. I told him from our captain that if he would give his parole, the captain-was prepared to take all his crew on board the Sydney and take them straight up to Colombo. He stuck a little over the word

parole, but readily agreed when explained the exact scope of it. And now came the dreadful job of getting the badly wounded into the boats. There were 15 of these. Luckily we have a very good pattern of light stretcher into which men wounded in each boat. The Germans were can be strapped. We got three badly all suffering badly from thirst, as we hauled the boats water casks up on deck, and they eagerly broached them, giving

the captain of the den and saying the wounded some first,

I took an early opportunity of saluting

The hottest part of the action for us was the first half hour. We opened fire from our port guns to begin with, I was standing just behind No. 1 port, and the gunlayer (Atkins, lit class Petty Officer) said,Shall I load, sir?” I was sur prised, but deadly keen there should be no* flap,” so said, "No, don't load till * Emden's fired, sir." Bo I said, "A you get the order. Next he said, right, load, but don't bring the gun to the You fought very well, sir." He seemed ready. I found out afterwards that the taken aback, and said "No." I went order to load had been received by the away, but presently he came up to me and other guns 10 minutes before, and my said, "Thank you very much for saying anti Bap" precautions though they that, but I was not satisfied. We should not the slightest harm, were thrown away on Atkins, who was as cool as a cucumber throughout the action,

have done better. You were very lucky in shooting away all my voice-pipes at the beginning."

When I got a chance, with all the boats away I went to have a look round the ship. I have no intention of describing forecastle, which is hardly touched, from what I saw the exception of the foro bridge, zo ste post she is nothing but a shambles, and the whole thing was most shocking. The German doctor asked

THE

HE GERMAN

Later I heard u urush and looking aft saw that a shell had hit near gun No. 21: starboard. But owing to the screen being in the way, I did not know it had knocked out practically the whole of that gun crew. Not seeing any flame or smoke ising (we cope with the smallest fire immediately) I went on with my job This required continual attention. The men are splendid at loading drill, but to me to signal for some morphia, sent mo practiro supply of ammunition is almost aft, and I never came forward again. impossible in peace time. To have a big snpply stacked on the upper deck is far too dangerous a proceeding in action, and what with getting an even distribution of projectiles and cartridges between the two guns, getting the safety cops off, with fiddly pins and things to take out, attend ing to missires, cheering up the one or two who seemed to be pulling dry, you can imagine I had little time to be think- ing much about the Emden. I noticed once or twice when going forward the starboard side to the forecastle gun that we seemed to be in the thick of it. There was a lot of Whooo-oo, Whese oo, Where-oo, and the "But-but-but” of the shell striking the water beyond, since the frange was pretty big, this is quite possible, since the angle of descent would be pretty steep, antag

Of the German officers, Vilthoef th torpedo lieutenant, was a thoroughly nice fellow. Lieutenant Schal was also a good fellow, and half English. It quite shock them when they found out that the captain had asked that there be no cheering on catering Colombo, but we certainly did not want cheering with rows of badly. wounded men laid out in cots on the quarter deck. Captain von Muller is a very fine fellow.

A Colombo we dropped all our wounded cargo, English and German. From the number of men we rescoed-1.e., 150, we have been able to reckon their losses. We know the number of men who landed at Cocos and get away, and the number of the prize crew in the collier. They cannot have lost less than 150 men killed, with 20 men badly wounded and about the same number slightly,

⠀⠀ · Coming aft, I heard a shot graze the top of the shield of No, 1 starboard. A petty officer now came up limping from aft; sad said that he had just carried an offer! There are lots of redeeming points în below (he was not dangerously hit), and the whole show. Best of all was to see that the after control position had been the gun's crew fighting their guns quite knocked right out and every one wounded anconierned.

When we ware last in (they were marvellously lucky). I told Sydney we took on board three boys from him if he was really able to carry on to the training ship. Tingira, who had go aft to No. 2 starboard and so there volunteered. The captain enid, “I don't was no fire, and if there was that any really want them, but as they are keen I'll charges about were to be thrown overboard take them." Now the action was only a at once, He was very game and limped week or two alterwards, but the two out away aft. He got aft to find a very bad of the three who were directly under my gordite fire just starting. He with others notice were perfectly splendid. One little got this put out. I later noticed some slip of a boy did not turn a hair, and smoke rising aft, and ran aft to find that worked splendidly. The other boy, a very it was just the remains of what they had sturdy youngster, carried projectiles from put out, but found two men, one with the hoist to his gun throughout the action badly wounded foot, sitting on the gun platform and a patty, officer lying on the deck a little further aft, with a nasty wound in his back, I found one of the men, was unwounded, but badly shaken, However, he pulled himself together when I spoke to him, and told him I wanted him to do what he could for the wounded, I then ran back to my group.

GOING TWENTY-FIVE KNOTS,

without to much as thinking of cover I do think for two boys absolutely new to their work they were splendid.

It was very interesting talking to some of the Gerranu officers afterwards. Oa the first day they were on board one saill to me," You fire on the white flag." ___ I-| at once took the matter up, and the torpedo lieutenant and an engineer both said emphatically, No, that is not so you did not fire on the white flag." Bu All the time wo were going 25 and some we did not leave it at that. One of us tiores as much as 26 knots. We had the went to the captain, and he got from speed on the Emiten and fought as suited Captain von Muller an assurance that we ourselves. We next changed round to had done nothing of the kind, and that he starboard guns and I then found the gunintended to assemble his officers and tell layer of No. 1tarboard had been knocked them so, a out close to the coning tower, so I brought Atkins over to fire No 1 starboard. 1ing the ship at Colombo, be came up to me

The day Captain von Muller was leav was quite deaf by now, as in the hurry on the quarter deck and thanked me id there had been no thought of getting connection with the recre of the wounded, cotton wool. This is a point I won't shock hands and saluted, which was very overlook next time, duke mos and polite of him. I think, reting Coming aft the port side from the fore under their rules, he and his crew refused castle gun I was met by a lot of men to give parole after their arrival at cheering and waving their caps. I said Colombo, but he corscientiously observed "What's happened She's gone, sirit while on the Sydney, which was more | she's gone. I ran to the ship's side, and like a hospital ship than a man-of-war," no sign of a ship could I ses. If one could while running to Colombo, Prince have seen a dark cloud of smoke it would Hohenzollern was a decent enough fellow have been different, But I could see no In fact, we seemed to agree that it wa sign of anything. So I called out, "All our job to knock one another out, but hands turn out the lifeboats, there will be there was no malice in it.
