ALTHOUGH this is an enlarged number it has unfortunately again been neces- sary to hold over, owing to lack of space, the article on the new fast type of Motor Life-boat stationed at Dover ; the article on Grace Darling's coble at the North East Coast Exhibition at Newcastle, and the arrangements which are being made, with the generous help of Lord Armstrong, to provide a per- manent house for it at Bamburgh, where Grace Darling is buried; and the chapter from Major-General Seely's book of reminiscences, " Adventure," describing a Life-boat Service in which he took part as a member of the Brooke (Isle of Wight) Life-boat Crew. We also hope to publish in the next issue reviews of several books dealing with the sea, including Captain Frank H.

Shaw's " Famous Shipwrecks," (pub- lished by Messrs. Elkin Mathews & Marot, 12s. £ d. net), which contains graphic accounts of a number of famous Life-boat services..
