WE had hoped to publish in this number of The Lifeboat an account of a very fine service by three Dutch Lifeboats last February to the English steamer Shonga, for which the King has presented the British Government's Silver Medal (Foreign Services) for Gallantry in Saving Life at Sea to each of the three Life-boats concerned.

Owing to want of room this account has to be held over, but it will appear in the next number..
