APRIL. 10TH. - ABERDEEN. The Faroese fishing vessel Albert Victor, of Vaag, with a cargo of fish, arrived off Aberdeen during the afternoon and was instructed to go to Hull.

A pilot went on board her, but her compass was out of order, and while she lay waiting for it to he adjusted, she drifted ashore half a mile north of Aberdeen. A light east wind was blowing and the sea was smooth, but there was a heavy ground swell. A tug tried to tow the Albert Victor off but failed, and at 11.10 at night the No. 1 motor life-boat Emma Constance was launched. By this time a heavy surf was breaking over the vessel and the life-boat made several attempts to get alongside before she was able to rescue the crew of seven, a North Sea pilot and a local pilot, who were on board. The local pilot injured his foot while being hauled into the life-boat, and on landing was taken to hospital. The life-boat’s deck rails were damaged. She reached her station again at 1.40 next morning.
