RAMSEY.—Daring a violent gale from the N. and a rough cross sea with heavy rain-squalls, a signal of distress was observed on the steam dredger Walter Bibby, of Preston, which was riding heavily at anchor a mile and a half S.E.

of the harbour on the morning of the 7th November. The Life-boat Two Sisters was promptly launched, and, after encountering some difficulty, owing to the violent gusts of wind and the rolling of the dredger, took off the crew of fifteen men and landed them in safety about a mile and a half S. of Eamsey, it being found impossible to beat back to her Station..
