RAMSGATE AND NORTH DEAL.—On the 20th September, at about 12.30 A.M., the ship Paul Boyton, of Yarmouth, N.S., 1097 tons, bound from Baltimore to Hamburg with a cargo of maize, went ashore on the Goodwin Sands during a fresh wind from the W. and heavy sea. The Ramsgate Life-boat Bradford proceeded to the vessel in tow of the harbour steam-tug Aid, and the North Deal Life-boat also went to her assistance. Two steam-tugs, the Walmer Life-boat, and some other boats also arrived, and efforts were made by means of towing, pumping, and throwing part of the cargo overboard, to get the ship afloat; but all were in vain, and as it was found that the water was gaining on her, all hopes of saving her had to be abandoned, and the crew determined to leave for the shore. Thirteen of the crew and nine boatmen were then taken into the Deal Life-boat and safely landed at Deal. The Ramsgate Life-boat took three of the crew on board, but the master and mate refused to leave the vessel. The boat then sheered off to her anchor, where she remained until after high water. The master and mate still refusing to leave the vessel, although she had by this time fourteen feet of water in her hold, the boat made sail for the tug. The master then hailed her to come alongside to take the mate and himself off; but owing to the heavy sea the boat was unable to get alongside; she was, however, dropped under the vessel's stern, and the two men lowered themselves from the end of the spanker-boom into the Life-boat, and were thus saved at great peril to the Life-boat and to themselves. She then proceeded to the steamer, was taken in tow, and arrived in Ramsgate Harbour at 3 P.M.
