and 17 stations with rocket apparatus only, so that Sweden has a fleet of 26 motor life-boats, and 2 pulling (one with an outboard motor).

Turkey There were no services to British vessels.

There are 4 life-boat stations on the the shores of the Black Sea, with 7 pulling and sailing life-boats, and 11 stations with rocket apparatus only.

A motor life-boat for Turkey is being built in England and is expected to arrive in 1952.

The Turkish Service is maintained by the State.

The United States of America The United States Coastguard, which maintains the Life-boat Service, was not able, as in the past, to give parti- culars of services to British vessels, since it meant a search through its records, which it had not the staff to carry out.

It has 177 motor life-boats besides its large fleet of cutters, patrol boats, lightships, harbour tugs, buoy boats and motor boats.

As the Life-boat Service is part of the Coastguard it is maintained by the State.

British Services to Foreign Vessels in 1950 DURING 1950 British life-boats went out to the help of 42 vessels and aero- planes belonging to 14 foreign coun- tries, and rescued from them 70 lives.

Eight of the vessels hailed from France; 5 from the Netherlands; 5 from the United States (including 3 aeroplanes); 5 from Germany; 4 from Belgium (including 1 aeroplane); 4 from Denmark (including 1 from the Faroes); 3 from Norway; 2 from Spain; and 1 each from Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Italy and Panama. In addition 77 men were landed from foreign vessels on which they might have been in danger..
