KINGSDOWNE.—During a strong S.W.

breeze and hazy weather on the 29th December, signals of distress were shown from a vessel ashore on the Goodwin sands. The Kingsdowne Life-boat proceeded to her, and' found she was an Italian barque, laden with bones. Some of the Life-boatmen went on board the vessel, and the Boat remained by her until she was towed off the sands..
