RAMSGATE AND DEAL.—On the 25th August, at about 3 A.M., signals were shown from the Gull Light-ship, and the Ramsgate Life-boat Bradford, in tow of the steam-tug Aid, and the Van Kook Life-boat, stationed at Deal, proceeded to the Goodwin Sands. The wind was blowing fresh at the time from the S.W., and a heavy sea was running. On arriving at the Sand, the barque Mia Madre E, of Genoa, was found ashore there, with some London steamers and a Deal boat close at hand. The Life-boats remained by the vessel, their crews assisting to lighten her by discharging some of her cargo of wheat. On the tide flowing, the steamer Aid, which had returned to Ramsgate, again came out, and in conjunction with the other steamers, made repeated attempts to tow the vessel off the Sands. The towing- hawsers frequently broke, but were again made fast to the barque, and every effort was used to save her; it was, however, found hopeless, and, as she was leaking badly, and all her pumps had been disabled, it was eventually decided to abandon her. The master and 13 men, with the Italian Vice-Consul, were accordingly taken into the Ramsgate Life-boat, and the mate, 1 seaman, and 4 Deal boatmen into the Deal Life-boat, and all were safely landed. The barque was of 892 tons register, was bound from Baltimore to Hull, and ultimately became a total wreck.
