SHIPWRECKS ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.--The follow-
ing communication has been addressed by the active
harbour master (Captain Martin), of Ramsgate, to the
secretary of the Life Boat Institution, respecting the
stranding of several vessels on the Goodwin Sands during
the past week, and the services rendered by the Rams-
gate lifeboat and some Deal tuggers to the same. The
life-boat in question, which is the Northumberland prize
life-boat, is in constant readiness day and night. Capt.
Martin states—" We were appealed -to by alarm guns
from the Goodwin light vessels, the third time in a
week, on Sunday zooming last, and the steamer towed
out a lugger, and procee led with the life-boat—wind
S W. to S., in squally and thick weather with rain.
In a clear, soon after daylight, we saw two schooners
in a most perilous plight. The Deal luggers, being
to windward (and as they generally also cruise afloat in
bad weather), were near them, and when our vessel
reached the first schooner she was in charge of the said
Dealmen. The vessel just beat over the sand and came
afloat, all hands pumping. Our steamer took her in
tow, and I had the gratification of receiving" er safely
into Ramsgate harbour. She was the schooner Drown,
of Dartmouth, from St. Thomas, bound to London with
a cargo of sugar, rum, &c. The other schooner was
nearly on her beam ends when she came afloat, and set-
ing a steam tug take her in tow, I had no occasion to
despatch our life-boat and steam-tug a second time. By
pumping and baling the Deal boatmen succeeded in bring-
ing her also safely into this harbour, where she filled
soon after grounding. She proved to be the clipper
schooner Susan, of London, bound to Denia, in ballast.
This is the fourth vessel during the week which has been
brought off the Goodwin Sands into this harbour. A
fifth having grounded, got off, and went on to London
with a cargo of nearly 1,000 tons of coals; and a sixth
has been reported Vet with all hands, which I hope and
trust is incorrect, as nothing floatsome has been brought
in.—(Signed) K. 13. Martin, Harbour Master. To the
Secretary of the Royal National Life-Boat InstitutiOn,
John-street, Ad Iphi, London,"
