GOURDON, KINCARDINESHIRE.—The Lifeboat temporarily placed here while the boat belonging to the station was being altered and improved, was called out on the 10th May, and rendered good service to the fishing boats which were in great danger, a heavy S.E. chopping sea having very suddenly sprung up, and breaking right across the harbour, preventing any of the boats from getting in. It was found necessary in one instance to take the crew of two men from one small boat into the Life-boat, they having anchored just outside the broken water. She then followed the rest of the fleet to Johnshaven, a distance of three miles, and stood by them white entering the harbour there. The fishermen attributed their safety to the presence of the Life-boat..
