Ix the issue of The Life-boat for last September an article was published on the pension fund which was formed to provide for the forty-two dependants of the nine life-boatmen who lost their lives when the Caister No. 2 life-boat was wrecked in November, 1901. The fund came to an end in 1932, when there were still six persons receiving help from it, and the Institution under- took to continue their pensions and allowances. Of these six, one had been a life-boatman for forty-seven years.

It was stated in the article that he was not in the life-boat at the time of the disaster, but that his father and son were on board, the father being injured and the son drowned. This was not correct. It was he himself, and not his father, who was in the boat and was injured. It was partly on account of his injury and partly on account of the death of his son that he received a pension from the fund..
