[edit] Development of battle
According to the landing party of the Emden, stranded at Direction island, the battle was still going on at 18.00 hours. Does anybody know what scource the order of battle came from that we can read in the wikipedia article? http://www.ezania.net/library/books/cocos/index_m.htm#theayesha The times found on the next page also don't add up: http://www.argo.net.au/andre/emdenforwebENFIN.htm How can the Sydney run the Emden aground on North Keeling at 11:20 on november 9, set course for Direction Island (about 30km away) and only arrive there on the 10th? Also there is talk of the Buresk in the article, but I can't find any mention about it in either of the two links presented.
