IT will be within the recollection of our readers, that in May 1913 we had the pleasure of announcing that His Majesty the King of Norway had graciously given a monetary reward to be divided among the crew of the Skegness Lifeboat, for their gallant services in saving the crew of the Norwegian brig Azha, of Arendal, in November, 1912. This reward has now been followed by further royal recognition, the King having bestowed a Silver Medal (inscribed " For cedel Daad") and a diploma on Matthew Grunnill, the Coxswain of the Life-boat, and a similar reward on Montague Grunnill, the Second Coxswain of the boat.

The service was an excellent one, and resulted in the saving of eight.
