GOURDON, KINCARDINESHIRE. At six in the evening of the 18th of October, 1945, it was learned at Montrose that a small motor boat, working from an Air Ministry vessel in Lunan Bay, was lost in the fog. A light south-west wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. The Montrose life-boat was launched, but failed to find the missing boat.

She was found by four men in the Gourdon motor fishing boat Rosaleen about 7.30 next morning, three miles east of Tod Head. She was then thirteen miles from her last known position. The man in her had been adrift for twenty hours and was exhausted.- Rewards, £2 10s., £1 for fuel used, and £10 for loss of fishing. (See Montrose, “Accounts of Services by Life-boats,” page 46.).
