now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship-

the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
the Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Hundred and Fifteen Life-boats under its management,
for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency.
n large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its
humane mission is to be perpetuated.
