Thursday 13/8/14
At 6 pm. We arrive at the rendesvous, the small Caroline Island – Pagan. The first to meet us is the convoy of the squadron "-----". We circled the island. There lay in a bay "Scharnhorst", "Geneisenau", "Nurenberg" and 10 to 15 coal & provision steamers. As we sail into the bay we are received with great cheers. The commander and his adjutant board the "Scharnhorst" immediately to report.
