This vessel turned out to be the German cruiser SMS Emden. In the resulting engagement, Sydney was hit early by the long-ranging 10.5 cm guns of Emden, which resulted in four dead and twelve wounded. However, the superior firepower of the Australian cruiser\u2019s broadside soon told and Emden was left \u201cbeached and done for\u201d on North Keeling Island.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99ccff;\">The &#8220;un-told&#8221; story goes like this:<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\">The Sydney picked up survivors of the SMS Emden, amongst whom was the German Captain von M\u00fcller.\u00a0 Now, it just happened that him and Captain Glossop of the Sydney used to play tennis before the war. So, upon return to Sydney Harbour the flags were dipped in honor to the HMAS Sydney&#8217;s victory at sea.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\">Yet, Captain Glossop gave the honors to Captain von M\u00fcller for his valiant fight to the very end before his ship was beached by the Sydney&#8217;s fire power.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #99ccff;\">But that&#8217;s not all, the captain of the Sydney gave his German counterpart his own cabin during the sail home, in recognition of their friendship.
