Guns and rockets were fired from the Gull and East Goodwin light-vessels at 5 A.M. on the 23rd March, during a strong S.W. wind and a heavy sea. The Bradford Life-boat was towed out by the harbour steam-tug Aid, and found the schooner Fairy Glen, of Padstow, bound from Goole for Plymouth, with coal, stranded on the N.E. part of the Goodwin Sands. On nearing the vessel, the Life-boat was slipped, sailed alongside, and remained by her about an hour and a-half; but as the wind and sea was increasing, the crew, consisting of five men, were taken into the Life-boat, which then sailed to the tug, and was towed back to Ramsgate, arriving at 11 o'clock..
