Esq., Colonel Palmer, and Captain Ward, R.N.,

The minutes of the previous meeting having been
read, a reward of £6 10s. was voted to the crew of
the institution's lifeboat at Lytham, for assisting to
a safe anchorage the French brigantine Jean Fran-
cois, which was in a very dangerous position near
the Salthouse Bank, during a heavy gale of wind on
the 4th ultimo.

A reward of £6 was also granted to the crew of
the Fraserburgh lifeboat for putting off, in reply to
signals of distress, and rescuing the crew of five
men of the lugger Betsy Ann, of Port Gordon,
N. 8., which vessel had lost all her sails, and was
driving towards the dangeroui reef of Cairn Briggs

ing the crew of the ship North, of Liverpool, which
was wrecked on the south side of the Goodwin Sands
on the 30th ult. It appeared that the ship and the
steamer towing her were both driven on the sands
and wrecked. The crews were forced to take to their
boats, but were fortunately rescued by passing vessels
and taken to shore. The lifeboats encountered some
heavy seas while passing over the sands. The Rams-
gate lifeboat also went out in tow of the harbour

the crews of the same wrecked vessels.

Rewards amounting to £46 Us. 6d. were also
voted to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution
stationed at Selsey, New Brighton, Scarborough,

services during the past month.
