Text Appearing Before Image:
Bradford.This report seems to have been chiefly gathered from the mateof the wrecked ship, and from the coxswain of the Life-boat, bythe correspondent of the Daily Telegraphy who visited the placesoon after the events narrated. It is not the first time that thegallant services of the Ramsgate boatmen have been con-spicuous. Their station is one of the most important on allour coasts, and the wreck-chart shows how often help isneeded in that region of the northern seas. In a letter fromMr. Braine, the harbour-master, special testimony is borne totheir services on the present occasion. He says :— Of all the meritorious services performed by the Ramsgatetug and life-boat, I consider this one of the best. Thedecision the coxswain and crew arrived at to remain till day-light, which was in eftect to continue for fourteen hours cruisingabout with the sea continually breaking over them in a heavygale and tremendous sea, proves, I consider, their gallantry anddetermination to do their duty.

CO On < < oaa a Q< X■_) 2 < 3 2 Wreck of tjie Indian Chiefr 199 The coxswain and crew of the life-boat speak in the highestterms of her good qualities ; they state that when sailing acrossthe Long Sand/ after leaving the wreck, the seas weretremendous, and the boat behaved most admirably. Some ofthe shipwrecked crew have since stated that they were fearful,on seeing the frightful-looking seas they were passing through,that they were in more danger in the life-boat than whenlashed to the mast of their sunken ship, as they thought itimpossible for any boat to live through such a sea. It was during the night of the 5th January, 1881, that the tid-ings reached Ramsgate that a large ship had gone ashore on theLong Sand. From Aldborough, in Suffolk, from Clacton andfrom Harwich in Essex, where signals or messages had alsoreached, the life-boats put off to the scene of danger, but noneof these succeeded in reaching the wreck. Happily theBradford ho2it, of Ramsgate,
