RAMSGATE.—On the 2nd January, 1894, a message by telephone was received requesting that the Life-boat and tug might be sent to a vessel in danger. The steamtug Aid, with, the Life-boat Bradford in tow, left the harbour at 10.30 P.M. and proceeded through the Cudd Channel and along the land until the vessel was seen ashore near Broadstairs. The Life-boat was then slipped, and, letting go her anchor, veered alongside the vessel, which was the smack Blue Bell, of Ramsgate, and took off her crew of four men. A strong E. wind was blowing at the time with squalls of snow.
