SELSEA LIFEBOAT.—The National Lifeboat Insti-
tution is desirous to place a lifeboat at Selsea, on the Sussex
coast, for the protection of the crews of vessels which get
wrecked on the " Owers" and other shoals in that danger-
ous locality. At present, with the exception of two life-
boats recently placed at the back of the Isle of Wight,
there is no lifeboat establishment between Worthing
and Lyme Regis. A lifeboat for the dangerous banks above
alluded to cannot fail to be of great servi, e, and will fill up
a great part of the long gap which here exists between
those life-saving establishments, which, through the in-
strumentality of this noble institution, are now fast encir-
cling the coasts of the United Kingdom. In forming and
maintaining a lifeboat establishment; the institution seeks
the co-operation and persevering help of the immediate
neighbourhood and the county generally in which it is si-
tuated, by whose aid, in conjunction with the funds col-
lected from the general public, it is enabled to support its
present large fleet of lifeboats, now numbering upwards of
100. The cost of the lifeboat which it is proposed to sta-
tion at Selsea has been generously presented to the institu-
tion by some charitable member& of the Society:of Friends ;
but a transporting carriage and a substantial boathouse,
costing together about £2OO are yet needed to complete
the establishment, and also an annual sum of about £3O is
required to meet the local expenses of the station, the insti-
tution undertaking from its general funds the permanent
maintenance of the whole in a state of good repair and ge-
neral efficiency. The inhabitants of the Isle of Wight and
the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club have recently
come forward nobly and enabled the institution to form
two first-rate lifeboat establishments on the most exposed
part of that island, and it is hoped that an equally liberal
support will be extended by the public to the institution on
behalf of the much-needed lifeboat at Selsea.
