Gourdon, Kincardineshire. — On the morning of the 7th September the majority of the local fishing fleet put to sea. Later rain began to fall and the strong S.E. to E. breeze gradually increased until at noon half a gale was blowing. A heavy sea was running and the harbour entrance was now dangerous.

The pulling and sailing lifeboat Moss was launched at 12.20 P.M., and went to the harbour entrance.

Four of the boats ran for Stonehaven and the life-boat stood by until the rest had got safely in. She returned to her station at 3 P.M.—Rewards, £11 14s. 6d..
