The crew
of Atheltemplar were eventually taken off by INDIAN STAR, who then
picked up the others from the lifeboat. Several of the survivors in
the forecastle were badly injured, and great credit was due to those
who rescued them by lowering them to the deck of INDIAN STAR. All were
later transferred to HMS LEDA who landed the survivors at Aberdeen.
