Mr. Henry Fargus died on 26th April at the age of 77. He was for many years a partner in the firm of Messrs.

Clayton, Sons and Fargus, the Institution's solicitors, and was the member of the firm who dealt with the Institution's work. As such his help and advice were always at the Institution's disposal, and the deep interest which he came to feel in the Life-boat Service was continued, after his retirement from the firm, when, in 1915, he became a member of the Committee of Management.

He served on a number of Sub-Committees and, until in the last few years he was compelled to winter abroad, attended meetings regularly and took the closest interest in their work. The quiet and unostentatious service which he did for the Institution during the twelve years of his membership of the Committee, and the many years when he was its legal adviser, will be gratefully remembered by all his colleagues. The Institution was represented at the funeral by Sir John Gumming, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., and the Secretary, Mr. George F. Shee..
