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-one 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.
