For these and other Life-boat services the Institution has
Voted £1,893 as rewards to the crews of the Lifeboats. It has
also granted re wards amounting to £515 10s. for saving 173
shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak-
ing a total of 871 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last t‘so years.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society,
and other means, since its formation, is upwards of 12,2(0;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and
£15,250 in cash have been granted as rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £57,200 on Life-boat Establishments.
The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts
bow being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship-
yei reckera 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-one Life-boats under its man-
agement, lor 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.
