Fishing Boats

Gourdon, Kincardineshire.—The local fishing fleet put to sea at about 5 A.M. on the 28th October, 1937, in fair weather. By 9 A.M. a moderate E.S.E. gale was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain, and an hour later the harbour entrance had become so dangerous that it was decided to launch the motor life-boat Margaret Daveson when the fishing fleet returned. She was launched at 11.10 A.M. and stood by the boats while they got safely into harbour. She returned to her station at 1 P.M.—Rewards £15 11s..
