English royalties placed in jeopardy
English royalties including King George's sister Princess Louise and her husband the Duke of Fife and their daughters were placed in danger when the Delhi ran aground off Cape Spartel in Morocco. Rescue ships and life saving gear rushed to the scene amid a raging storm as French and British ships aided efforts to save passengers and crew. The Delhi remained afloat but near foundering as rescuers faced heavy surf and worsening weather. Princess Royal and others were transferred to a warship, and a message to Queen Alexandra announced all aboard are safe. Governor Sir Archibald Hunter prepared rooms for royal reception at Government House Gibraltar.
