Sea Cook Hijacked Trawler Off Aberdeen in North Sea Gale
A Danish sea cook named Jorgen Christiansen hijacked the Nordkap, 122 tons, off Aberdeen, fleeing east toward Elsberg Denmark.

Coast guards across Britain, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands searched oil rigs and helicopters for the reportedly intoxicated hijacker as a gale raged with 60 mile per hour winds.
