SAFETY BEACON ON THE GOODWIN SANDS

" Admiralty, August 6, 1844.
" Sir,—l am commanded, by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to transmit to you herewith, for the
information of the Committee for managing the affairs
of Lloyd's, a copy of a letter from the clerk in charge of
her Majesty's naval yard at Deal, reporting that a
schooner, in crossinr, the Goodwin sands, had run against
and carried away the safety beacon erected there some
years since, by Captain Bullock.
" i am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
"SIDNEY HERBERT.
" W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's."
(con%)
" Deal Yard, August 5, 1844.
"Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the in-
formation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
that a schooner, in crossing the Goodwin sands early
this morning ran against and carried away the safety
beacon erected there some years since by Captain Bullock.
" From suhseequent inspection it appears that the
vessel struck the top of the beacon on the western side,
and carried it away ; that the mast is gone just above
the surface of the sand ; and that the whole is a perfect
wreck, held by the rigging and chain plates.
" I have cleared and brought on shore to-day as much
as the state of the tide would allow of, and I shall avail
myself of the first opportunity to secure the rest.
" I have the honour to be, &c.,

" Clerk in Charge.
