LOWESTOFT.—At 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 17th of January, the second coxswain of the Life-boat observed that the trawler Snowdrop, of Ramsgate, had run aground on the north part of the Newcome Sand, during an E. by S. wind and a heavy sea. The Life-boat Samuel Plimsoll was therefore at once sent under sail to the vessel, which by this time had hoisted a signal of distress, her rudder having been knocked away, besides which she was leaking badly. She managed, however, to beat over the sand, and was taken in tow by a steam-tug, the Lifeboat following astern to steer her.
