Lady Westmorland, of Newcastle

Early on the morning of the 24th January, during blowing weather and in a very hard frost, this noble boat and her consort were again the means of rendering good service to a shipwrecked crew. They went out in ready response to signal-guns and rockets fired from the Gull light-ship, and discovered the barque Lady Westmoreland, from New- castle, ashore, but she did not require their assistance, being enaWed, with the help of another steamer and some luggers, to get off the sands. They afterwards found the brig Carl, of Rostock, had stranded and was likely to become a total wreck; her crew of 7 men were accordingly taken into the life- boat and landed in Ramsgate Harbour..
