"The band had played Watch on the Rhine, the sailors left behind
cheered, other men waved their hats, and women cried, as the Emden
pulled out of Germany's China colony of Tsingtao for the last time"
Thus begins a World War I epic that was, both literally and in
spirit, a world away from the trenches and slaughter of France and
Belgium. Were it not all real and true, it would make wonderful
fiction: the Emden survivors from the battle with the Australian
cruiser Sydney sailing a leaking copra schooner from the Cocos
Islands to the East Indies, the Wolf sailing undetected in Allied
waters for months, the captain of the Seeadler, von Luckner,
sailing a small boat halfway across the Pacific to Fiji, and then
later making a dramatic escape from a New Zealand prisoner of war
camp.
