This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
Inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss if life at sea, and t o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
