WRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE.

RAMSGATE, Jan. 20.

A very sad affair happened last night, by which
two poor fellows lost their lives at sea, almost
within sight of their homes. At about halt-past
six o'clock, the night being very dark at the time,
a fishing smack, the Whiff, belonging to Mr.
J. Penney, of this town, having sprung
a leak, was making for this port. It was very
low water, being the ebb of a spring tide. She
unfortunately struck on the brake, a flinty ridge
well known to mariners, which extends some
miles in this neighbourhood. After grounding, a
heavy breaker swept the deck, carrying away and
drowning two of the hands. The skipper and re-
maining hand then launched her boat, but it was
immediately swamped.
Owing to the extreme lowness of the tide, the
lifeboat Bradford and the tug were unable to
leave the harbour till nearly nine o'clock.
The wind prevented the lifeboat from pro-
ceeding alone. The Broadstairs lifeboat was
telegraphed for, and, it is said, put to sea
about eight. It was a long time before the
wreck could be found, it having drifted some
distance before settling down. When found, a
portion of the mast was above water, with the two
survivors clinging thereto. They were nearly
killed by exposure and exhaustion. One of them
bad been compelled to relax his hold, and had
slipped down the mast, and was immersed nearly to
his neck. The lifeboat, on its return, reached the
harbour at midnight, and the poor fellows were
taken to the Sailors' Home, where they remain in a
very precarious condition.
DUNDEE, Jan. 19.

The schooner John Onward, of Goole, struck on
the Gaa Bank in the river Tay, about six o'clock
this morning, during thick weather and while a
considerable sea was running on the banks (says
Johne lighthouse-keeper Hunter Junk, Esq., of the Trinity House).
The at daylight telegraphed the
r
news to Broughty Ferry. The Buddon Ness life-
boat, Eleanora, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution, was taken out as soon as practicable, and
took off three of the crew, two of them remaining
on board the vessel. The Broughty Ferry lifeboat
Mary
minutes afterwards, and
Society, arrived
hiach
few
wso belongs to the Lifeboat
remained by the vessel, which was making a great
deal of water. A steam tug subsequently, with
the assistance of the lifeboat's crew, got the
vessel off and brought her into harbour, but
much damaged. The Buddon Nets boat was
damaged in going alongside the vessel, but not
seriously. She has, however, had to be brought
to Dundee to be repaired.

A telegram has been received from Alexandria re-
porting the departure of her Majesty's India❑ troop-
ship Serapis (from that I sort at 10 a.m., on the 18th
inst. (all well) for Portsmouth.
