coming up. The Emden did not wait
for the 40 men ashore, but put about
and tried to escape-and right there
begins another chapter that is even
more fascinating to the lover Of adven-

the plucky little German cruiser had
done. The story of the 40 men and two

wherever the Rhineland songs are

true courage and initiative in other

And so the great naval duel passed
from our sight" wired an eye witness,
and we could turn our attention to
the portion of the German crew that
had been left behind. These men had
put off in their boats, obedient to the
signal of the siren, but when their ship
steamed off without them they could
do nothing else but come ashore again.
On relanding they lined up on the
shore Of the lagoon, evidently deter
mined to fight to a finish if the British
cruiser sent a party ashore, but at six
o'clock p. m. the German raiders en-
barked on the old schooner Ayessa,
which belongs to Mr.. Ross, the 'un-
crowned king Of the islands. Selling
quantity of clothing and stores,
they sailed out and nothing has been
seen or heard Of them since"
1t was all as fine and colorful as in
more reminiscent old days when men
fought with smooth bore guns behind
the walls of their bandbox ships, their
bulwarks lashed to those Of the enemy,
and the personal dash and bravery of
the men as they fought with cutlass
and knife, breast to breast and face to
face, decided the victory. One sees
