THE new life-boat at Rhyl is a gift from Liverpool. She has been built out of a legacy from the late Mr. A. R.

Marshall, who was for many years the honorary secretary of the Port of Liverpool branch of the Institution.

She is a 35-feet 6-inches Liverpool life- boat, and is the eighth life-boat to go to Rhyl, where the station was estab- lished in 1852. The naming ceremony was held on the 14th of August, 1950.

Mr. Fred P. Henson, president of the branch, presided. After Commander E. W. Middleton, V.R.B., R.N.V.R., western district inspector of life-boats, had described the life-boat, Commodore the Earl Howe, C.B.E., V.R.B., P.C., R.N.V.R., deputy-chairman of the Committee of Management of the Institution, handed her to RhyJ, on behalf of the donor and the Institution.

She was received by Mr. Leslie H.

Pickersgill, chairman of the branch, and Rear-Admiral R. Rowley-Conwy, C.M.G., J.P., Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire, thanked the donor and the Institution on behalf of the county of Flintshire. The Venerable R. H.

Roberts, M. A., Archdeacon of St. Asaph, dedicated the life-boat, assisted by the Rev. Ban Jones. The Countess Howe then named her Anthony Robert Mar- shall. A vote of thanks to the Lord Lieutenant, Lord and Lady Howe, the Archdeacon of St. Asaph, and Mr.

Dan Jones was proposed by Mr. W.

Brookes Parry, honorary secretary of the branch, and seconded by Mrs.
