In addition to the Dover Life-boat, the Ramsgate boat, Charles and Susanna Stephens, also put off to the barque Gudrun, and when endeavouring to get alongside, the boat was dashed against the barque and badly damaged. She got clear and anchored. Later in the day tugs attempted to save the vessel, and with the assistance of the Life-boat, ropes were made fast, and eventually the vessel was towed off the Sands by two tugs, which then took her up the Thames to Gravesend..
