RAMSGATE.—In answer to signal guns, the Ramsgate Life-boat Bradford went out in tow of the harbour steam-tug Vulcan at 2.15 A.M. on the 14th of March, during a fresh N.E. wind. After cruising about for some time without finding any vessel in distress, at 5.30, a small vessel, which proved to be the ketch Minnie, of Bideford, bound from Newcastle with a cargo of manure, was observed stranded on the North Sand Head, and a boat was seen riding astern of the Gull Lightship.

The Life-boat proceeded to the lightship, took off the shipwrecked crew of four men who had taken refuge there, and landed them at Ramsgate at 8 o'clock..
