RAMSGATE.—At 11.45 A.M., on the 12th May, during a moderate E. wind and thick weather, signal guns were fired by the light-ships. The Bradford Life-boat went out in tow of the harbour steam-tug Vulcan and found the schooner Edward Arthur, of Carnarvon, 141 tons, bound from Newcastle to Lisbon with a cargo of coal and carrying a crew of six men, ashore «m the N.E. part of the Goodwin Sands.

The master having engaged the services of the Life-boatmen to try to save the vessel, her sails were stowed, an anchor and cable got ready for running out, and at 4 P.M.

the steamer commenced to tow her. After towing until 5 o'clock she came afloat striking heavily, and at the master's request was towed to Dover, six of the Lifeboatmen remaining on board her to assist at the pumps, &c. Dover was reached at 8.30 P.M., and the steam-tug returned to the station at 10.30..
