Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments ,n the Coasts of England. Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
x 16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion nas also expended X 67,400 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can lages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
ot 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, ot the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, whi h cap only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
