Pandora

During a whole E.N.E. gale and heavy snow showers on the evening of the 10th February, signals of distress were ob- served from the schooner Pandora, of Fraserburgh, which was lying at anchor in Scrabster Roads. The crew of the Life-boat Co-operator No. 3 were sum- moned, and the Life-boat launched.

The sea was exceedingly heavy, and on arrival it was found that it was making a clean breach over the vessel's forecastle, in addition to which she was riding very heavily, and the anchors were in- clined to drag. The crew of four men were taken into the boat, which brought them safely into harbour at 11.30 P.M..
