Still at Pagan Island, Maximillian von Spee decides to take his squadron around Cape Horn and into the Atlantic. Karl von Müller, captain of the light cruiser Emden, is ordered to take his ship to the Indian ocean and do what damage he can to Allied shipping there.

Royal Flying Corps Number 2 Squadron, under the command of Major Charles James Burke, is ordered to be the first group of British pilots in France. Flying B.E.2s they took off from Dover at about 06:25. One of the pilots, Lieutenant Hubert Dunsterville Harvey-Kelly, managed to separate from the rest of the group and arrive ahead of the rest, making himself the first British pilot to land in France.
