The Life-boat Bradford, and steam-tug Vulcan, were called out by guns from the Gall Light-vessel, and a flare on the Goodwin Sands at 8 P.M. on the 21st February, during a fresh breeze from the N. On Hearing the sands the Life-boat left the tug and sailed alongside the vessel, which was the fishing lugger Verbena, of Lowestoft, made fast to her, and advised the master to stow the sails. A heavy sea was breaking on board her, and, as the tide flowed, she drove over the gaud, her crew of eight men and their effectsbeing taken into the Life-boat. On the vessel driving into deeper water it was found that she leaked so badly arid ma settling down so quickly that she was abandoned, there being no possible chance of saving her. The Life-boat then sailed to the tug, and was towed back to the harbour, arriving at 4 o'clock on the following morning..
