MAY 25TH. - GOURDON, KINCARDINESHIRE. At 1.15 in the afternoon the harbour master reported that the motor fishing boat Silver Cloud, of Gourdon, returning from the fishing ground, had been hit by a big sea and her engine had failed. A southerly gale was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain, and the Silver Cloud, which had a crew of three, started drifting towards the shore to the south-east of the coastguard station, but, before she went ashore, her anchor held. At 1.30 the motor life-boat Margaret Dawson was launched, rescued the three men and arrived back at her station at 2.20. Later in the day a fishing boat went out and brought in the Silver Cloud.- Rewards, £10 9s. 6d.
