Second one was a Shell Tanker, she had been without power for most of the day due to a steam pipe bursting, we were asked to arrange a meet and transfer an engineer who had a bad steam burn on his wrist. The search and rescue from the Canaries gave him a bollocking, and asked him to radio his speed and position as they would co-ordinate the rescue. The Old man went loopy calling him (the Greek) everything under the sun. When we arrived at her given position, nothing to be seen, she was still broadcasting, apparently she was still on fire, under her own power and giving the position of he first distress call. We were the nearest ship, she radioed her position, and we broadcast that we would head towards her. We were heading home on the Clan Ranald, just passing the Canaries when we picked up a distress call from a Greek tanker, which was on fire.
