Anson, who died on llth January, at the age of seventy-seven, was from the beginning of 1917 until towards the end of 1925 the Honorary Secretary of the Hastings Station, and he retired then on account of serious ill-health.

On his retirement Mr. Anson was presented with a framed Photograph of a Life-boat going out to a vessel in distress, inscribed with the Institution's gratitude for his services..
