In condition Ramsay made a common people give the name for relief and asked everyone who owned any concerned of ferry to help in rescuing the soldiery. He got an remarkable and instant recoil and managed to make plans for a visiting flotilla comprising 850 "Little Ships" which was ready-made up of lifeboats, yachts and sportfishing boats.
