LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—ALDBOROUGH, SUFFOLK,
SaPT. 21.—A few days aigo, when it was blowing on this
coast a gale from the N.E., with a tremendous sea running,
several foreign vessels were seen in our offing with flags for
pilots. No pilot, however, would venture out through the
broken water in their own craft. Under these circum-
stances it was decided to attempt to launch the lifeboat of
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on this station. It
was successfully accomplished, and gallantly did she pro-
ceed with the pilots to the assistance of the vessels referred
to, and afterwards safely piloted them. On Saturday last
a foreign brig went to pieces off Dunwich, about nine miles
from Aldborough, when one poor fellow was unfortunately
lost. It is more than probable that if a lifeboat had been
near the spot the vessel and the man's life might have been
saved. The Aldborough and Thorpeness lifeboat stations
are as complete and efficient as any which belong to the
National Lifeboat Institution. This philanthropic society
has lifeboats on the east coast at the following places:—
Cromer, Mandesley, Bacton, Palling, Winterton, Caistor,
Yarmouth, two boats ; Lowestoft, Takefleld, Southwold,
Thorpeness, and Aldborough.
PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN FOR GOVERNMENT INSTI-
TUTIONS.—To enable the public to derive full advantage
from the photographic negatives made, officially, for the
Science and Art Department, from rare and valuable ob-
jects in public and other collections, British and foreign, the
Committee of Council on Education has caused an office for
the sale of photographic impressions from such negatives to
be established at the South Kensington Museum, which
will be opened on the 3d October. Photographic negatives
made by order of the trustees of the British Museum, and
for the War and other Government offices, will also be sold.
The tariff for unmounted impressions will be as follows :
A single impression the dimensions of which contain less
than 40 square inches—e.g., 5 inches by 7, or 4 inches by
8, sd. Above 40 square inches, 21d. should be added for
every 20 square inches or under. A detailed list of the ob-
jects photographed is printed, price 2d. The department
does not charge itself with the mounting of impressions, as
the public is able to do this for itself.
