Emden

An engineer from Bremen was the principal mover, and a few men from Norderney and Emden subscribed the capital.

He combats especially the idea of making Emden (the nearest to our shores) the port of departure.

At Emden, with its direct cable to the theatre of war in England, was concentrated the brain of the whole movement.

At first the firing of the Emden seemed excellent, while that of the Sydney was somewhat erratic.

Both blazing away with their big guns, the two cruisers disappeared below the horizon, the Emden being on fire.
