DOVER.—While a strong gale was blowing from N.E., accompanied by a heavy sea, on the 25th March, 1898, two vessels in the bay showed signals of distress, and at 10 A.M. the Life-boat Lewis Morice put off to their assistance. She first proct eded to a fishing smack and ascertained that she wanted a tug. The Life-boat anchored, and was afterwards towed by the tug alongside the other vessel, the galliot Nor den, of Haugesund. The master stating that he required assistance to get the vessel into harbour, four of the Lifeboatmen therefore boarded her, one of them steering her and she was taken safely into port..
