As a Petty Officer aboard the minelayer Abdiel, when the ship was mined and sunk off Taranto on 10 September 1943. The Abdiel, commanded by Captain D. Orr-Ewing, D.S.O., was sunk by mines off Taranto on 10 September 1943, two days after the Italian capitulation. The vessel was being used as a fast transport employed in ferrying men of the British 1st Airborne Division (6th Royal Welsh Battalion) to the Italian mainland. The ground mines had just been laid a few hours earlier by two German torpedo boats as they vacated the harbour of their former ally. Shortly after midnight, two mines detonated beneath Abdiel and the minelayer sank in just three minutes with great loss of life amongst both soldiers and sailors. The Airborne Division lost 58 killed with some 150 injured; the Royal Navy lost six officers and 42 ratings killed. There was a suggestion that the ship’s degaussing equipment had been turned off to allow troops below decks to sleep better with less noise.

As a private individual and as a partner in James Ballantyne & Co., Scott found himself with debts of £121,000. To pay off his debts Scott threw himself into a ferocious period of writing, that saw Woodstock, Chronicles of the Canongate and The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, the sales of which brought in £40,000 by Christmas 1827. Most of the papers in the present collection relate to the debts of Sir Walter Scott and James Ballantyne & Co. at this critical juncture in Scott's life.
