OWING to the space given in this number to the Rye disaster a number of articles which would otherwise have appeared have been held over until the next issue.

They include an article on the Life-boat Service in Iceland (which will be followed in a later issue by an article on the present Russian Service) ; the article, mentioned in the last issue, on the work of the International Hydrographic Bureau ; and accounts of the centenary presentations at Blyth and Aberdeen, of the Aberdeen Conference of Life-boat Workers, of two most successful balls held at Glasgow and Belfast, of a very successful theatrical entertainment at Exeter, and of Lifeboat carol singing last Christmas.

We are glad to say, however, that the work done all over the United Kingdom by our Honorary workers, and especially by the devoted women who are members of the Ladies' Life-boat Guild, is increasing to such an extent that it is becoming impossible to give more than a very brief notice of many events which deserve, and have fully earned, our heartfelt thanks.

Notice.

The next number of THE LIFEBOAT will be published in MAY, 1929.

When you have read this number, will you kindly pass it on to a friend, unless you are keeping a complete set of the Journal ?.
