FISHING BOAT ON FIRE Gourdon, Kincardineshire.—At 5.30 in the evening of the 18th of January, 1948, the coastguard reported distress signals and at 5.55 the motor life-boat Margaret Dawson was launched. A strong west-south-west breeze was blow- ing with a choppy sea. The life-boat found the fishing boat Rosa, bound for Montrose, with a crew of six, two and a half miles east-north-east of Inver- bervie. Her engine-room had caught fire but the fire had been got under control and a steamer was standing by her. The life-boat towed her to Gour- don, arriving at 7.30.—Rewards, £26..
