Mr. Albert Sothcott, Second Engineer of the s.s. “Indramayo,” was born in 1870 at Cowes, Isle of Wight, where he was educated. He served his apprenticeship at Messrs. Guys and Company's yachting works, and improved his knowledge of engineering under Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead. Joining the “Indramayo” in 1892 as fourth engineer, Mr. Sothcott was promoted after two voyages to the position of third engineer, and in 1894 he entered on the duties of the office he now fills.
