This is a very interesting story about the Emden, a German cruiser that terrorized the Indian Ocean during WW1. After capturing and sinking many ships it was finally sunk, but not before a shore party had escaped. This group had a separate set of adventures sailing to Sumatra, across the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea and finally making their way by boat and camel to where they could catch a train back to Germany. Quite harrowing stuff!
Boring!! For WWI enthusiasts only.
