The story Of the battle was told by
passengers on the British steamer

from Callao, Chile. They say that the
Germans fought bravely TO the end,
even the colliers refusing to surren-
der. Losses OF the British were
placed at eight men.

Only the Canopus was visible at
first to the Germans, who steamed
straight at her. The Canopus opened
fire and the other British warships
rushed to her assistance.
The Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and

their fire on the Scharnhorst Admiral

After the battle the British picked
up 1874 Germans. including few Of
