Pallas and Nelly

BROADSTAIRS.—At 6 A.M. on the 18th Sept., when it was blowing hard from the N.E., in reply to signals of distress exhibited from the North Sand Head lightship, the Life-boat Samuel Morrison Collins was launched, and standing off under sail, boarded the sloop Pallas, of Jersey, ashore on the sands. Assisted by the crew of a lugger, the Life-boat got this vessel afloat and carried to a safe anchorage in the Downs. Soon after the return of the Lifeboat to her station, the yacht Nelly, of London, was observed to be disabled and in distress, when she again put to sea, and succeeded in bringing the yacht safely into Ramsgate harbour.
