RAMSGATE AND BROADSTAIRS. — At 2.30 A.M. on the 11th April, during strong N.Jf.E. wind and a heavy sea, the Goodwin and Gull Lightships fired signals.

The Ramsgate Life-boat Bradford, and the harbour steam-tug Aid, as well as the Lifeboat Samuel Morrison Collins stationed at Broadstairs, put off and found the s.s.

Skandinavian, of Gothenburg, ashore on the North Sand Head, Goodwin Sands. The services of both boat's crews were engaged to try to get the vessel a"float. Some of the cargo was thrown overboard, an anchor and chain were got ready to carry but, and at 10.30 the steam-tug passed her tow-rope to the vessel's quarter, and began to tow her. She continued towing until 12.15, when the tug Anglia of London arrived, and having been also engaged to assist, she attached her hawser, and both tugs towed until 1.45, and succeeded in altering the position of the vessel; then finding no further use in towing any longer as the tide was falling, the hawsers were slipped, the Vulcan backed towards the vessel, took an anchor on board, and towed it out in an easterly direction.

During low water more of the cargo was thrown overboard, and at 11.30 P.M. both tugs again took hold of the vessel and towed her, while those on board hove on the anchor. At 12.30 she came afloat, and was then towed to Gravesend and moored at the buoys at 12.45 P.M. During the time she was ashore she struck very heavily, damaging the after part of her hull to such an extent, that the aftercompartment was full of water, and the rudder so much damaged that she could not steer. The ship was bound from Gothenburg to Bordeaux with a cargo of iron, deals, and paper pulp, and had a crew of 14 men and 2 women on board.
