1 November 1890 about 12 noon. North Sea. Christopher Royal skipper. We were towing our gear when it came fast at the bottom. The skipper was making the guy fast when the warp flew off striking him first on the left leg & the second time on the ribs. Knocked him into the engine room funnel causing fracture of two ribs & severe bruises to the leg.
