By the death of Dr. J. Iredale, of Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, on 8th Sep- tember last, the Institution has lost one of its oldest Honorary Secretaries. Dr.

Iredale became the Honorary Secretary of the Station at Mablethorpe in 1891, and when it was closed twenty-nine years later, he continued to act as Honorary Secretary of a Financial Branch at Mablethorpe. When he died he had served the Institution for thirty-five years. In 1902 he was presented with a pair of Binoculars as a small mark of the Institution's gratitude for the help which he had given it. Dr. Iredale's daughter, who has organized the Life- boat Days at Mablethorpe, has very kindly consented to continue his work as Honorary Secretary..
