A Hundred Threepenny Bits

A POLICEMAN on point-duty in Brid- lington, Yorkshire, one day last June, had an envelope thrust into his hand by a woman, who said : " That is for the life-boat. I have saved it up." She then ran away. When the envelope was opened a hundred threepenny bits (£1 5s.) were found inside.
