R.T.K

— The schooner JR. T. K., of Fowey, was seen to show signals of distress when off the North Foreland, on the 12fch March. It was blowing a gale from W.S.W. and the sea was heavy. Without delay the No. 2 Life-boat, Civil Service, No. 1, proceeded to her. On approaching the schooner her signal was lowered, she having accepted help from a service galley. At the request of the master the Life-boat stood by him until his vessel was out of danger and then made for home. On the way a signal was made by the steamer St. Vincent, of Glasgow, and the Civil Service No. 1 made for her. On arrival the captain stated that one of his crew had been seriously injured, and requested that he should be landed. He was taken into the boat which then returned to Mar- gate and he was handed over to the local Ambulance Corps for removal to the Hospital..
