APRIL 16TH. - RAMSGATE, KENT. A steamer was seen ashore on the North Goodwin Sands at about 7 P.M. and the motor life-boat Prudential was launched at 7.26 P.M. A westerly wind was blowing, with a moderate sea, and at times snow and hail squalls. The life-boat found the vessel to be the S.S. Alba, of Panama, of over 3,400 tons, laden with grain for the continent from the River Plate. She stood by her until, at high water the following night, she was refloated by six tugs. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.30 P.M. having been out for thirty-seven hours. - Property salvage case..
