NORTH DEAL, KENT.—About 10.30 P.M. the Coastguard informed the Coxswain that flares were being burnt in the direction of the Brake Sand. He immediately summoned the crew, launched the Life-boat Mary Somerville, and proceeded to the spot indicated, where they found the barge Dawn, of London, very near the sands, in danger of stranding. The Coxswain got as close to the barge as possible, then anchored and veered down to her. It was only with great difficulty and danger that they succeeded in getting alongside, as it was blowing a whole gale from S.W., and the sea was very heavy. The master asked that they would save the crew and his vessel if possible. Four of the Life-boatmen were put on board, and they succeeded in getting the vessel into Ramsgate Harbour at 6 o'clock next morning..
