Sydney chases Emden. Fl
Looking eastward we could see the
reason for this sudden departure, for
a warship. which we afterward learned
was the Australian cruiser Sydney was
coming up at full speed in pursuit.
The Emden did not wait to discuss
matters, but firing her first shot at a
range of about 300 yards, steamed
north as hard as she could CO.: e
At first the firing of the Emden
seemed excellent, while that of the
Sydney was somewhat erratic. This,
as afterward learned, was due to
the fact that the Australian cruisers
range finder was put out Of action by
one of the two shots that the Germans
got home. ~ ..-..@.-.: -. :
However, the British gunners soon
overcame any difficulties this may
