NOVEMBER 11TH. - ABERDEEN. At about 6.20 P.M. the Gregness coastguard reported that red flares, presumably from a steamer on fire, had been seen S.E. by S. of Findon, in which area bombs had been dropped by German aeroplanes. A strong S.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy, choppy sea. The No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance was launched at 6.50 P.M. At 8 P.M. she reached a ship on fire, but there was no one on board. She searched for boats or rafts and while she was doing so the S.S. Oberan hailed her and said that she had on board the crew of the S.S. Trebartha, of St. Ives. As it was not safe, in the heavy sea, to transfer the rescued men to the life-boat, the lifeboat’s second-coxswain went aboard the Oberan and piloted her into Aberdeen harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.43 P.M. - Rewards, £15 9s.
