Crews,
Without doubt the rarest fa/none
English life -boat is the "Bradford,"
of liemsgete, What a record that
boat has or marvellous reseuee, won»
derful deeds by her erew, iota or ex-
cellent HUI'Viet3 against the traps of
the dreaded Goedwin Sands! $he
was a present from the Yorkshire
worsted town, and Bradford is just
as Proud of the tiamsgate lifeboat as
aro the Ilamsgate folk themselves,
says London Answers.
There was a, fearful eglit one win-
ter night between the "Bradford"
nod the sea., when the emigrant ship
"Pushier" was sinking, When the
life -boat did at last reach the wreck
her crew was appalled to learn that
111C1.0 170r0 over ono hundred souls on
hoard! The "Bradford" could not
carry more than thirty at once in
SUCII A TERRIFIC! SEA.
But the tug that has helped the life-
boat so often waS there., too—that
tug which is almost as famous as
the "Bradford" hereelf—ancl the life-
boat men were not to be daunted.
Two of them leaped into the rig-
ging of the "Fusilier" as the boat
rose close to the wreck upon a wave.
"We'll save you all, with time and
God's help!" they said,
And they did. After tremendous
exertion and risk the tug and life-
boat set out from that doomed ship
for Ramsgate with one hundred and
four souls rescued. But their night's
ivork wa.s not finished. As tho
"Bradford" was going along, the
infest of another sunken ship 11/05 des-
cried some distance off, with living
men clinging to it. And if these had
to wait until the boat could return
it would be too late, exhausted as
they were. They cried for help, and
the "Bradford's" crew shouted back
encouragement.
So again they turned, and took no
less than sixteen mei) from that
mast, and the tug and the "Brad-
ford" endue into Ramsgate with one
hundred and twenty-one rescued hu-
man beings, the grandest trophy' •
English life-hoats ever had
El ONE NIGHT.
The "Bradford" Went out on that
night of January 51h, 1881, to the
wrecked "Indian Chief." Fish, the
boat's coxsw.ain, still maintains that
110 night ever surpassed that for fear-
ful storm and freezing winds during
Itis long experience. .For twenty-six
hours the "Bradford" continued.
She was_ ou1 hours and hours ere
Fish could find the wreck through the
past, sleet, ;and blinding seas that
hroke over the boat. But at 10114(11
he saw her, ahd the eleven .survivors
were safely got on boardthe Iife-
boat, but only after terrible and re -
pouted efforts, So changed was the
whole crew with the cold and strug-
gle thet evee their friends failed to
recognize the members .as they walk-
ed up the pier on their landing
again.
Next to the Reensgate lifeboat,
probably the most famous ones are
the tiorlesion and St. Anne's life -
bouts. Edgar Woods, the coxswain
of the life -boat "Mark Lane," of
Gorleston, could tell many -tales of
fights with the 1110V08. It was
Woods who stood a1, the end of the
pier during the tremendous gale of
'October I nth, 1101, when signals of
distress were flying front a vessel far
out at Sea. NO tug was near to
take out the lifeboat, and *en old
sailors (kidded that it was simply
madnees to think of trying to
IILLP TITE DOOMED ST -IIP.
Not so the gallant coxswain. He
stood and regmeted the almont cer-
tain death before him and his MM..
Then he said quietly: "The 'Mark
Lane's' going!"
IL was a, fearful beetle with the
raging sea, but Woods and hi8 coin-
Iitutions won, and the four men ort
the wrecked "Ada" were brought
safely to shore. The "Mark Lane,"
too, was out, in tire boiling,* seas for
ninett,en hours, with the Caister life-
boat -Beauchniare" to rescue the
shipwrecked crew tsf the "Soudan,"
of Liverpool, which the two boats
did Mier epiendiel ellorts.
Tho ("aisle,' lire -boat is extremely
famous. Most fatuous of its men aro
the Ifirtyletts, who -never knew fear of
the see, Grandfathers, fathers, and
grendsons downwards, they ;ire a sot
of heroes of whom Norfolk is proud.
The
1110 had its revenge upon them
in this disaster to the "'Beauchamp."
On the 1711 of December, 18811, the
St. Anne's life -boat and the South.
port lire -boat were lost. with nearly
all of their crews. whilst ont in the
