Survivors Landed After Pacific Raid Ship Fight
Four hundred ninety six prisoners from German raiders in the Pacific were landed in Australia after being held on Emirau Island. Among them are 70 women and seven children. The Tarakina fought a gallant two and a half hour battle before sinking, with 23 Tarakina survivors known among the rescued. The group includes crew and prisoners from multiple ships as they were evacuated by Royal Australian Navy ships and an Air Force flying boat. Emirau lies near the Equator, north of New Guinea, and was where the raid’s outcome and rescue were confirmed after days of pursuit.
