More on the Japanese: They had a cruiser escorting the same convoy that HMAS Sydney was with when they got the radio distress call from the station on the Cocos/Keeling Island that they had been attacked by SMS Emden. The Japanese captain wanted to go after Emden, but the Captain of Sydney was in charge and went himself.
