Danube
BROADSTAIRS.—At 4.45 A.M. on the 29th May, the Life-boat Francet Forbes Barton was launched and proceeded to the brig Danube, of Whitby, coal laden from Shields for Dover, which was stranded on the N. Goodwin Sands. A N.N.W. wind was blowing and the sea was moderate.
The Life-boat stood by until the vessel floated and was towed by a steam-tug clear of the sands..
