IN a previous issue we promised to publish a supplemental list of the Gold and Silver Medals voted by the rOYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION to officers of the Royal Navy and Marines, in acknowledge- ment of their gallant deeds in Saving Life from Shipwreck.

Having failed to trace their names in the Official Lists, we are compelled to con- clude that most, if not all, of these gallant men are now deceased.

We have arranged their names alphabet- ically to enable their relations and friends to experience no difficulty in tracing their names, in a brief record of their deeds, which are as noble as those performed by their compatriots in defending the great- ness and honour of our country.

We must add that the rank given to each officer is that which he held at the time the service was performed.
