POOLE NEW LIFER° Vr.—The National Lifeboat
Institution has just sent a new Lifeboat to Poole. Dorset,
In lieu of the boat placed on that station some years since.
The boat forwarded is 34 feet long and 81 feet wide; it
rows ten oars, double banked : it was built by Mews.
Woolf' and Son, of Shadwell, London. It had its harbour
trial a short time since in the Regent's Canal Dock,
London, when the usual qualities of stability, self-debt-
ins, and pelf-ejecting of water were fully and satisfactorily
tested. The water shipped, when the boat MU capsized
by moans of a crane, was self-elected in about twenty
seconds. The boat is provided with a transporting and
launching carriage, which is also admirably adapted to its
purpose. It should be mentioned that the Institution is
much indebted to Mr. Richard Penney, the Honorary
Secretary, and other friends at Poole and Bournemouth,
for their valuable co-operation in the management of the
Poole Lifeboat establishment The National Lifeboat
Institution has now *1) boats under its management, 54
of which are stationed on the south coast. The cost of a
Lifeboat establishment averages £lOOO, while the expenag
of maintaining it amounts to £7O • year. Not a winter
passes without some of these boats rendering important
service in saving life from shipwreck. Contributions in
aid of their support will be iadly received by the different
Bankers, the several local Honorary Secretaries, and by
the secretary of the Institution, John Street, Adelphl,
London.
