also granted rewards ',mounting to X 572 for saving 5112
-hipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak-
ng a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years and a half.

£16,010 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-

Transporting-can cages, and Boat-houses.
The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts

he Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man-
,g-ement, :or the maintenanceof which, in a state of thorough
fficiency, !I large permanent annual income is absolutely
needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.
