MR. S. S. JERRETT, of Liverpool and New Brighton, who died on the 9th November last, at the age of seventy- four, was for over thirty years associ- ated with the Life-boat Station at New Brighton. The son of a sea-captain, he was connected for fifty-nine years with the shipping firm of Messrs. Goodyear, in which he became a partner, and for some years served as one of the com- mercial assessors to the Admiralty Court, so that he brought to the work of the New Brighton Station a wide experience of the mercantile marine.

He became a member of the Branch Committee in 1901, and its Chairman in 1903, a position which he held until his death. He was also for a number of years a member of the Committee of the Port of Liverpool Branch. As some small mark of the Institution's gratitude for his many services, he was presented with inscribed Binoculars in 1912, and in 1920 with the Institution's Gold Badge, which is given only for dis- tinguished honorary work for the Life-boat Service..
