RAMSGATE.—On the 3rd April, 1882, 11 A.M., the Bradford Life-boat proceeded, to the East Goodwin Light vessel, which was firing signal guns. The wind was blowing a strong breeze from the E. and there was a thick fog. On arriving at the Lightship, it was found that the master, and crew of five men, of the barque Europe of Bordeaux, had taken refuge there, their vessel having stranded on the North Sand Head. These men were taken into the Life-boat, which then proceeded in search of the barque, and found her in charge of a lugger's crew. The services of the Life-boatmen were engaged to assist getting the vessel off, but all efforts to so failed, and she had to be abandoned.

She was bound from Gothenburg to Bordeaux with a cargo of boards..
