Notice.

All Honorary Secretaries of Branches and Ladies' Life-boat Guilds and all subscribers of ten shillings and over are entitled to receive THE LIFEBOAT quarterly free.

All contributions for the Institution should be sent either to the Honorary Secretary of the local Branch or Guild or to the Secretary, Royal National Life-boat Institution, Life-boat House, 22, Charing Cross Road, London, W.C. 2.

All inquiries about the work of the Institution or about the Journal should be addressed to the Secretary.

This Journal is the current record of the work of the Institution, and the chief means by which it keeps its honorary workers, subscribers and the general public informed of its activities. You will therefore be helping the Institution if, when you have read this number, you will kindly pass it on to a friend, unless, of course, you are keeping a complete set of the Journals.

The next number of " The Lifeboat " will be published in February, 1931..
