After boarding the Galician, as cabled, she ordered the Galician to follow, and turned southward. At night time the I*iser Wilhelm masked her lights and ordered the Galician to do the same. At midnight came the signal to “prevision the boats for five days. You will have to abandon the ship.” The passengers believed the Galician was \ being sunk, and the passengers and crew cut adrift. Half-an-hour later the Kaiser Wilhelm suddenly,, went full speed ahead and signalled, “N* more orders. You are released. Good-bye.” In ten minutes she was out of sight. When the Galicfa® reached Teneriffe her people learnt that the Kaiser Wilhelm had been picked up by two British cruisers, which went to the assistance o fthn survivors of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, and landed them before she was sunk.
