Possibly a book about the German raider Kormoran. The only one I know if is "Cruise of the Kormoran", but I'm sure there are others.

OH if correct.

Background clue: the book was published in 1903 and is "an early example of the espionage novel and was extremely influential in the genre of spy fiction."
