Monday, September 7, 1914. Rescued.

The  King and Winge reached Wrangel Island in the Bering Sea and found 14 of the original 25 survivors of the Karluk shipwreck.  They were transferred to the ship, which then went on, unsuccessfully, to search for other survivors.

In the Battle of Grand Couronné the Germans attacks drove drove French defenders back south of Verdun, France.

In the First Battle of the Masurian Lakes the Germans attacked the Russians under the command of the very German named Paul von Rennenkampf in East Prussia.  He was, in fact, a Baltic German.
