By the death on the 15th July of Mrs. Longair, wife of ex-Lord Provost Longair, of Dundee, in her 84th year, the Institution has lost one of its oldest and most valued workers in Scotland.

Her interest in the Life-boat Service began many years ago. She was closely associated with its work first through the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Life-boat Saturday Fund, and then through the Institution's Branch at Dundee. In May of this year she received a present from her friends to mark her semi-jubilee as President of the Dundee Ladies' Auxiliary, which, in 1922, became the Dundee Ladies' Life-boat Guild, and just before her death the Institution awarded her the .Gold Brooch, which is given for long and distinguished honorary services..
