For these and other Life-boat services the Institution has
voted £2,158 as rewards to the crews of its Lifeboats. It has
also granted re -yards amounting to £572 for saving 562
shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak-
ing a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years and a half.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society. and other means, since its formation, is 12,690;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 713 Silver Medals, and
.16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can loges, and Boat-houses.
The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts
now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship-
wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at
the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
the Society has made within the past few years, it has now '
One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man-
agement, tor 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.
