£5 t I Mr. Leggott's daughter is an Honorary Worker for the Institution.

t This sum was collected by the Commissioners from ships entering the port.Thus it will be seen that during the four months there were forty-one services, in which over sixty boats and vessels were involved. In no case was the owner, so far as can be traced, a contributor to the Institution, although in two cases they collected money for it; and in only two cases were donations given afterwards in gratitude for the service.

A donation of £5 has been received from Lieutenant B. Wood in gratitudefor a service to his yacht Doris on the 18th July. She was at anchor off Moelfre during a strong gale with a heavy sea, and as there seemed a risk of her being swamped the Coxswain of the Life-boat at Moelfre and four other men went out in an ordinary boat, and landed the Doris's crew. They were rewarded by the Institution, but as it was a shore-boat, and not a Life-boat service, it is not included in the above list..
