It was not until nearly eleven o’clock that a German officer came to see if any of the prisoners were wounded. A voice shouted from outside, “Are you all right?” They replied, “Yes, but we want some coffee.” There was none available, for the British shell had demolished the galleys, bakeries and store-rooms. After half an hour’s delay a large pannikin of limejuice and water, with four loaves of black bread, were passed into the room, and the door locked again.
We left the Ajax and Achilles at eight o’clock shadowing the Graf Spee to the westward from a distance of about fifteen miles, and about an hour later the Ajax recovered her aircraft, which had been up for two and a half hours.
