1914 - World War I in the Far East. Coleman was on the Australian leg of his trip when the war broke out in early August.

Thursday, Oct. 29, Suwa Marie,

Arrived Penang 11. Found that the Emden had torpedoed a Russian troop ship with French soldiers on board yesterday night. 200 lives lost. Also sank a torpedo boat cruising outside. The mast still shows above water. Went ashore this morning in the launch, half a dozen bloated bodies floating, come up from the Sunken Russian man –of-war. It is horrible.

… The Penang Gazette & Straits Chronicle describes the Emden’s exploit – the Russian Curiser Zhentchug, was sunk in 15 m.[minutes] of 355 men 1 of. [officer] & 89 were killed & 3 off.[officers] & 120 men wounded, many terribly.
