But the forty Germans. under ILeu-

They met the British collier Exford. and

1t was not until December II that tho

caused tho torpedo to explode. with I.

fire.

that the next salvos of the Germans

There was also n lot of manoeuvring
to escape torpedoS. The Emdcn made
two great circles. The first time the
Sydney followed her around. but the
second time turned and met her. The
Sydney's torpcdos seemed to have
fallen short. German torpedo almost
struck the Sydney, but an officer OF
the Sydney saw her coming. full speed

The Emden was soon afire fore and aft

Our maritime race knows how to ad-

CAREER OF DISTINCTION
STARTS WITH THE WAR
1t is now possible for the first
time to patch together the tale OF the
Emden. Her career OF destruction
started the day war was declare ed
against Russia, when she captured a
Muscovite cruiser near Vlad!vostok and
took her TO Ts!rEchau, the German
Chinese colony. The Emden Immediate
~ sailed south from Ts!ngchau. head
ing for the great lines OF travel about
Southwestern Asia. These she haunted

a terrific pace. tho Emden emptied hor
bow guns into the Jemtchug. At about
ESQ yards. she altered her course, SO as
to pour two broadsides into tho Rus
sian ship. She also sent n torpedo into
tho engine room of the Jemtchug, but
this did littlo damage.
Aboard the JemtchuE, all was de-
morallzation. Only fcw shots wero
fired from tho light guns, and most OF
tho shells went over tho Emden.
TORPEDO-BOATS PROVE
NOT VERY DANGEROUS
The Imden passed the Jcmtchug and
entered tho inner hnrbor. She saw tho
French torpedo craft, and realized that
she was n perfect mark for their tor
pedos. the range being about 800 yards
SO she turned and made for the Jemt-
chug again. The torpedo boats. how
ever. werc not very dangerous to her.
for only one of them opened up, and
that with n machine gun.
This time the Emden passed within
$50 yards of the JcmtchuE. The range
was practically pointblank, as in the
old days of Sir Francis Drake Even
at this. the Russians could not seri-
ously injure the Emden. The Germans
sent torpedo into the Russians
magazine. there was a tremendous ex-
ploston. and the Jemtchug was envel-
oped in mountain of smoke. Ten
minutes later she mad disappeared be-
meath the water.
Meanwhile. tho Mosquet had heard
the firing. and was coming into the
harbor at full speed. The Emden met
her as she went out. Three shells
struck the Mosquet at the same time,
and the waves soon found their vic
tim.
Here came in the chivalry OF Captain
Won Muller, which brought him into
such high respect by friend and foe
alike. Although the three French tor
pedo craft were in his rear, and should
by all the laws of war be pursuing
him, he put down his small boats and
rescued the MOsQuet survivors.
While stcaming away from Penang
the Emden met the tramp steamship
Glen Captain Won Muller did not at
tempt to seize her. but sent her into
Penang with the message: II tried not
TO hit the town. If did so. ! am very
sorry. indeed"
This is why the Englishmen from

captain OF the Emdcn.

gan to send out series OF messages:
Unknown warship approaching shore:

Seeing the Sydney approaching, the
Emden let off great blast from her

Then, without waiting for them, she
steamed out to meet the Sydney, a
vastly superior WarSn1D In number and
weight of guns.
1t Is said that tho captain Of the
Emden exclaimed. "If she is an Aus

underestimated the Sydney, however
There were eight British gunlayers
aboard. and the Australians, too
proved of good fighting metal
The battle opened at range OF
about five miles. One of the first
salvos from the Sydney carried away
the Emden's bridge, and killed and
wounded about dozen men. At the
same time, the Emdcn scored by de-
stroying the Sydney's rangehnEcr.
The Sydney's gunners were forced to
carry on independent fire.
