RAMSGATE, KENT. — On the 12th March signals were reported from the Gull Light-vessel and were promptly responded to by the Life-boat Bradford and the Ramsgate harbour tug. On reaching the light-vessel they learned that a vessel was ashore to the northward, and also that a boat from her had come alongside a short time previously having six of the crew in her, and that they had left for Deal. The tug and Life-boat then proceeded along the sands, and to the northward found the brigantine Eleanor, of Yarmouth, with only the master on board. Eight of the Life-boatmen were put on board and a rope passed to the tug. By their united efforts the vessel was got clear, and both the vessel and Life-boat were towed back to Ramsgate..
