The German Cruiser Emden After H.M.S. Sydney Had Done With Her.

It was on the 9th November 1914, that the Emden, disguised with an additional funnel, approached the wireless station of Cocos Island to destroy the gear. News of her arrival was immediately cabled to Singapore and flashed out by wireless, and H.M.S. Sydney was ordered to Cocos at full speed. With heavier guns and superior speed the Sydney possessed the advantage, and her commander, Captain J. C. T. G. Glossop, extracted every ounce of value from her. The Emden opened fire at 9.40 and for a few rounds her shooting was good, but as the Sydneys shells took effect, the Germans began to fire wildly. The Sydney used her speed to get the best advantage out of the superior range of her guns, and after an hour and forty minutes, the Germans ship was reduced to such a condition that her captain ran her ashore on North Keeling Island to prevent her from sinking. Even then, not until she was an absolute wreck, did Captain Muller haul down his flag. Captain Glossop was made a Companion of the Bath for his services, and six men of the Sydneys crew received the D.S.M.
