On the 1st Feb. the Resent, the Life-boat of this station, was transported by land to Chilton Chine, and launched in a heavy S.E. gale and snowstorm, to the assistance of the Norwegian screw steamer Woodham.

The Life-boat was transported during the darkness and launched at 6.45 A.M., and was successful in saving the lives of 20 persons. The captain and mate having declined to abandon the wreck the first time the Life-boat went off, she had to make a second trip later in the day to save them, tinder very dangerous circum- stances and in terribly severe weather.

The Institution voted its silver medal to JAMES BUCKETT the coxswain, in recogni- tion of this and other services..
