WHITBY.—The Whitby No. 2. Life-boat was rapidly becoming unfit for further ser- vice, and it has been replaced by another 8-oared boat, 30 feet long, and 7 feet -t inches wide, which was forwarded to the station, with a transporting-carriage, in March, 1872, a free -conveyance being liberally granted to them on board the steamer Captain Cook, belonging to the Whitby Steam Shipping Company. The Life-boat was named the Harriott forteath, after Mrs. FORTEATH, of Bunny Park, near Nottingham, who had presented the cost of a Life-boat establishment to the Insti- tution.

GREYSTONES, IRELAND. — A Life-boat station has also been formed by the So- ciety at Greystones, Co. Wicklow, as it was thought that such a boat might occasion- ally be of service there, looking to the long distance between the Kingstown and j Wicklow Life-boa stations, and this being ] the most convenient intermediate point.

| An excellent crew could always be relied I on for the boat, and the site of ground I for the house, on the best available po- i sition, was readily granted by the owner j of the land, W. B. LATOUCHE, Esq., J.P.

The legacy of the late J. J. TANKRED, Esq., of Pearville, Co. Dublin, was appro- priated in the formation of this Life- boat establishment. The boat, forwarded in July 1872, is a 33-feet 10-oared one, provided with a transporting-carriage.

On the 3rd August, the Life-boat was launched for the first time at Greystones, in the presence of a large number of the inhabitants, and visitors from Dublin and different parts of Wicklow. The boat having been drawn in procession through the town, was taken to the beach, and presented to the Local Com- mittee; and after a prayer for its success had been offered up by the Rev. LEWIS H. STREANE, M.A., Rector of Delgany, LADY MEATH, in the customary manner, named the boat the Sarah Tancred, and it was thereupon launched, and put through the -usual evolutions, everything passing off in a very satisfactory manner. The boat and carriage were granted a free conveyance to Dublin by the British and Irish Steam-Packet Company. In May last this boat did good service in saving from the yacht Captain, which was in distress off Bray Head, the owner, two friends, and a seaman. There was a heavy surf on at the time, and the boat had to run for Wicklow after effecting the rescue. Had there been no Life-boat at hand, those four persons would pro- bably have been lost, as they were just intending to run the yacht ashore, where she must quickly have gone to pieces among the rocks.

RHOSCOLYN, ANGLESEY.—The Life-boat on this station has, at the urgent request of the crew, been replaced by a larger and more powerful boat, 33 feet long, 8 feet wide, and pulling 10 oars, double-banked, there now being sufficient competent men in the locality to man a boat of this larger class. It was sent to Holyhead by rail- way in April, 1872, and was sailed thence to Ehoscolyn by the coxswain and crew, who reported that, when off the " Head," they encountered a high 'sea, caused by the flood tide making against a strong wind, and that the boat behaved greatly to their satisfaction. Like the former boat, it is named the Thomas Soys of Brighton, after a deceased gentleman who was a warm friend, and liberal benefactor, of the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION.

A. pleasing demonstration was orga- nised at Rhosneigir on the 19th Sep- tember, on the occasion of the first launch of this Life-boat. The donor, with some of her friends, attended, and they were welcomed, by Archdeacon WYNNE JONES, the Rev. B. WILLIAM'S, M.A., Hector of the parish, Mr. J. W. Huws, local Hon. Secretary, and a large assemblage of the neighbouring residents. A pro- cession was then formed to the beach, and the boat having been presented to the Assistant Inspector of Life-boats, Captain D. ROBERTSON, E.N., in favour of the Institution, a prayer was offered up by the Rev. B. WILLIAMS, and the Life-boat was named by Mrs. LINGHAM, and then launched, and the crew in- THORPENESS, SUFFOLK.—The crew of the Life-boat on this station having re- quested to be provided with a larger Life- boat, the Institution has supplied them with such a boat, which has been specially built for the station, and which was sent there in May last. It is a very fine boat, 37 feet long, 9 feet 4 inches wide, and pulling 12 oars, double-banked. It was taken by water to its station, the boat being towed, free of charge, from the Thames, by one of the steam colliers belonging to the Commercial Steam-Ship Company.

It bears the same name—the Ipswich— as the boat it superseded; the cost of the Life-boat on this station having been provided by the town of Ipswich in 1861-2, which has also ever since con- tributed annually towards its support.
