Else

APRIL 7TH. - ABERDEEN. At about 10.20 A.M. the auxiliary motor schooner Else, of the Faroes, was seen from Aberdeen harbour round house to be in difficulties off the south breakwater. A strong N. wind was blowing, with a rough sea and sleet squalls. The No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance was launched at 10.50 A.M. and found that the naval vessel Concord had the Else in tow. A line from the Else was taken by the life-boat, and she helped to tow, but the line parted. Then the tow-line from the Concord also parted, but by this time the Else was able to go under her own power, and all three vessels entered port at 11.30 A.M.
