This list shows the very large capital expenditure which the Institution is incurring now, or about to incur in the immediate future. We would ask all readers of The Life-boot to help us by bringing this list to the notice of their wealthy friends, pointing out that every Life-boat bears the name chosen by the donor, that in those cases where permission has been obtained to amalga- mate legacies, the name of the Life-boat is formed of the initials of the donors, and their full names are inscribed inside the Boat, and that in the case of Boathouses and other works a tablet recording the donor's name is affixed in a prominent position, so that the name is permanently linked with a permanent work of construction, as essential as the Life-boats themselves to saving life.
