A Service by the Bomber Motor Life-boat.

"From the calamity of shipwreck, no one can say that he may at all times remain free, and whilst he is now providing only for the safety of others, a day may come which will render the cause his own."—Sir William Hillary.

LAST year a lady living near Doncaster organized an appeal which raised £8.

This year she arranged to make a similar appeal in September. At the end of , August she wrote that she would " do her utmost to make it a success," for her own father had just been rescued by a Life-boat. He was returning to the Humber, from Bridlington regatta, on 14th August on board the racing yacht Piccolo. A strong breeze was blowing, and a sudden heavy squall carried away the yacht's mast and sails. She was helpless and in danger of drifting on to the Binks Sandbank. The Humber Motor Life-boat was launched, and the yacht and the four people on board were towed into Grimsby.

The Institution has also received a cheque for £5 from her father, who wrote : " I cannot thank your great Institution sufficiently, and my only regret is that I am not in a position to give more. If you will send me a collecting box I wiD keep it in a prominent place, and hope to be able to still further help such a great cause.".
