THE following letter comes from the manager of the station of the Eastern Telegraph Company, on that remote spot in the South Atlantic, Ascension Island : " As a result of the receipt of your booklet, The Story of the Life-boat, I had a whip-round amongst the members of my English staff on your behalf, and enclose a cheque for £5 2s. as the result.

I send it with our very best wishes that the great work you have done in the past may continue long into the future.".
