The Orion and the Komet , they were vessels masquerading as Japanese cargo ships with some false structures to disguise the guns etc which they carried. The Manyo Maru ,the second was recognised and called by it's old name Narvik an x Norwegian vessel, then there was a German Supply vessel called the Tokio Maru.

By the time the German raiders off loaded most of their human prisoner cargo off on Emirau Island 4 weeks later they numbered , civilian, ship crews air force trainees who had been forced to sign docs to say they would not bear arms against the Germans. Those that didn't sign were taken back to Germany and incarcerated for the length of the 2nd World War possibly a further 70 souls.

The raiders had been very busy in the period of months in the Pacific leading up to this time. They had attacked and sunk about 10 ships in different areas.
