Georgia
RAMSGATE.— Signal guns were heard from the Goodwin Sands at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 20th March. The Bradford and Vulcan were at once manned and left the harbour, proceeded to the Sands, and ultimately found the barque Georgia, of Fiume, bound from Hamburg to Baltimore with salt and empty barrels, ashore inside the middle buoy on the S.E. part of the Sand. The crew, thirteen in number, who were in their boat were taken on board the Life-boat which then went alongside the vessel, made sail on her, and with the assistance of the tug tried to get her afloat. The pumps were sounded and it was found that she had seven feet of water in her hold, and as there was no chance of saving her the Life-boat and steamer returned to Ramsgate with the rescued crew, arriving in the harbour at 11.40 A.M.
