OCT. 22ND. - RAMSGATE, KENT. At 2.35 A.M. the Deal coastguard reported by telephone that the Dutch steamer S.S. Alphald, of Rotterdam, was aground near the N.W. Goodwins Buoy, close to the wrecked S.S. Mahratta. A moderate N.E. breeze was blowing. The sea was smooth. After consultation with the senior naval officer at Ramsgate the motor life-boat Prudential was launched at 3.33 A.M. She found that the steamer had refloated with the rising tide, but was in need of a pilot. The life-boat arranged this with the pilot cutter, and then returned to her station at 8.15 A.M. - Rewards, £19 7s. 3d.
