The steamship Anglian, of Dublin, was stranded during heavy weather on the " Main," under the North Foreland lighthouse, on the 7th December. The Kingsgate life-boat put off, but her services were at first declined.

Afterwards, however, the master requested the crew to board his vessel and assist in getting her from her dangerous position.

This was done, and the vessel was after- wards towed into Ramsgate Harbour by the steam-tug Aid.
