fortunately escaped from the British guns in the Falkland. action, was sunk near Juan Fernandez Island (Robinson Cream's island). She was caught by the ' Glasgow,' the auxiliary cruiser 'Orem: and the ' Kent.' After an action of five minutes the ' Dresden' hauled down her colours and displayed the white flag. She woe on fire and mach damaged. After she had been burning for some time her magazine exploded and she sank. The crew were saved. Fifteen badly wounded Germane were landed at Valparaiso. None of the British ships was hit. Only two German com- merce destroyers remain to be accounted for—the cruiser .Karlsruhe' and the auxiliary cruiser • Kronprinz Wilhelm.'
