LIFE-BOAT INSPECTOR—Commander J. R. WARD, R.N.

The Committee of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution would earnestly call the attention of the Public to the great and extraordinary exertions which the Society has recently made to provide efficient Life-Boats at various parts of the coasts of the United Kingdom, including Boulmer, Hauxley, Southwolil, Dover, Dungeness, Teignmouth, Padstow, Fishguard, Tenby, Lytham, Drogheda, and the Isle of Man. To supply these Life-boats, together with Transporting- carriages and Boat-houses for some of them, has involved an expenditure of upwards of £2,000.

Other appeals for aid in the establishment of Life-boats continue to be received by the Committee.

This important work can only be continued by the aid of a generous Public. The rescue of shipwrecked persons from drowning is a work of mercy and humanity, which so manifestly claims the sympathy of all classes of persons in this Maritime and Commercial Country, that the Committee feel assured that the present pecuniary position of the Institution need only to be known to insure for it the liberal support of the Community at large.
