4ig a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years and a half.

.£16,0t0 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-

The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts

Ihe present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
'he Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man-
agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough
efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely
needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.
