RAMSGATE.—On the 29th March, during strong gale from the E.N.E., accompanied by a heavy sea, the barge Star of Peace, of London, was observed in a dangerous position riding at anchor in Pegwell Bay, all her sails having been blown away. The steam-tug Vulcan and the Ramsgate Life-boat proceeded to her assistance. After the Life-boat bad made two unsuccessful attempts to succour the distressed sailors, she sailed close alongside the barge, let go her anchor to windward, and rescued the crew of 3 men.

The vessel was nearly full of water, and was striking heavily on the ground. The Life-boat then sailed towards the tug, and was towed back to her station.
