THE HON. RUSTOMJEE JAMSETJEE JEJEEBHOY

AND THE LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION.—Some months ago
this gentleman, resident at Bombay, forwarded through
Mr. R. W. Crawford, £5OO to the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution in memory of his father, Sir Cursetjee Jamsetjee
Jejeebhoy, Bart. The committee of the institution there-
upon decided to place a lifeboat on the coast at a conve-
nient opportunity, to be called after the worthy baronet,
and in the meantime to present a model of the life-boat
and its transporting carriage to the Hon. Rustomjee
Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy. The society has just received the
following gratifying communication from that gentleman,
acknowledging the receipt of the models :—" Bombay,
Feb. 28, 1865.—Dear Sir,—Some months since I received
through my friend, R. W. Crawford, Esq., 31. P„ models
of the life-boat of the Royal National Life-boat Institution
and of its transporting carriage, also a photograph of a life-
boat. For these articles, which are most conspicuous orna-
ments in my house, I beg you to express to the committee
my best thanks. But my acknowledgments are more
especially due for the mark of respect to the memory of my
venerated father in the decision of the committee to place
a lifeboat on the coast of England to be called ' The Sir
Cursetjee Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy.' In conclusion, I request
the committee to accept the expression of my cordial sym-
pathy for the great and national work in which they are
engaged.—l remain, &c. (Signed, RUSTOMSEE JAMSETJEE
JEJEEBIIOY.—To Richard Lewis, Esq., secretary of the
Royal National Lifeboat Institution." We may add that
Messrs. Cama and Co., Parsee merchants of London and
Bombay, presented to the institution, about two years since,
£2,000 to provide the whole cost of a lifeboat station and
its permanent maintenance. Their lifeboat is stationed at
Palling, on the Norfolk coast, and it has already been the
means of saving a shipwrecked crew.
