Soon after mid- day on the 28th April, during a S.W.

gale accompanied by a rough sea, it was reported that a vessel was ashore on the Goodwins. The Life-boat Brad- ford proceeded to the Sands and found the fishing vessel Adalina, of Gravelines, ashore.

It was then ascertained that no further help was required, and the Life-boat returned to harbour..
