JANUARY 21ST. - ABERDEEN. At 10.25 A.M. Findon coastguard reported a vessel two miles S. by E. flying a distress signal, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance was launched at 10.45 A.M. A moderate E.S.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy broken sea. The life-boat found the motor vessel Empire Daffodil, of Great Yarmouth, bound for Leith in ballast. Her engine had broken down and she wanted a tug. The life-boat sent a message, by morse, to the coastguard and then returned to stand by the Empire Daffodil. Her crew were able to repair the engine, and, escorted by the life-boat, the vessel reached Aberdeen and was safely berthed at 3.30 P.M. - Rewards, £7 16s. 6d.
