From a Poor Children's Camp

A GIFT of 5s. 8d. has been received from a holiday camp of 180 poor children of Hull. These children were sent for a holiday by friends to a camp on the Humber, near the life-boat station at Spurn Point. They asked their officers if they might give their pennies to the life-boat. In sending the gift the officer-in-charge wrote : " These child- ren are very poor indeed and it must have been a very great sacrifice on their part.".
