LAKE OF GENEVA LIFEBOAT.—A new lifeboat
and transporting carriage, on the plan of those adopted by
the National Lifeboat Institution, have just been despatched
from London to the Lake of Geneva. The boat, which is
28 feet long, was built by the Messrs. Forrestt, of Lime-
house, and the carriage by Mr. Robinson, of Camden-town.
A few days ago a grand demonstration was made at Geneva
in celebration of their arrival. Loud were the praises of
the Genovese on the beautiful architecture of the boat and
her equipments, including lifebelts for her crew. Her
tranporting carriage was also much admired for its work-
manship and suitability for its purpose. Some time ago a
terrible shipwreck occurred during a fearful storm on the
Lake of Geneva, when the lives of several persons were
placed in great jeopardy. At the critical period a gallant
seaman, named Mermillon, nobly risked his own life in a
frail boat in rescuing the shipwrecked men. To test'fy their
appreciation of Mermillon's brave exertions the Geneve
raised a large subscription, and after rewarding lilmwitha
portion of the money they decided on appropriating the
surplus in the purchase of a lifeboat on the plan of that now
successfully employed by the National Lifeboat Institution
on different parts of the coasts of the British Isles. Accord-
ingly, an order was given for her construction, and great
has been the satisfaction of the Genevese with the happy
consummation of their humane design.
