Mr. C. B. Stoddart, who died last December, had for sixteen years been Honorary Secretary of the Cardiff and Penarth Branch. He was a well-known and very popular figure in Cardiff, being the represei tive there of the Bowring Shipping Company of Liverpool, and his services to the Institution will be gratefully remembered and deeply missed.

In 1922 Mr. Stoddart was presented with a framed Photograph of a Life-boat going out to a vessel in distress inscribed with the Institution's appreciation of his services..
