LADY CRATHORNE named the new Teesmouth life-boat Sarah Jane and James Season at a ceremony at the life-boat house on the 28th of May, 1960. The life-boat, which is one of the 47-feet Watson type, was pro- vided out of legacies from the late Mr.

Arthur Season of Ilkley, Mr. Frederick Wright of York, Miss Ellen Lax of Leeds, and Mrs. Harriet Ellen Pearson of Sowerby Bridge, and the general funds of the Institution.

Colonel Thomas Eustace Smith, chairman of the Teesmouth branch, took the chair. After Commander L. F. L. Hill, the district inspector, had described the new boat Admiral Sir John Eccles, a member of the Committee of Management, handed her over to the branch, Mr. E. R. Copeman, honorary secretary of the branch, accepting her.

The life-boat was then dedicated by the Venerable William Palin, Arch- deacon of Cleveland, assisted by the Rev. C. Kettle, Tees Chaplain to the Missions to Seamen, and the Rev. Carl Landahl, Chaplain to the Scandinavian Seamen's Mission.

Music was provided by the Eston Silver Band conducted by Mr. A. W. Turner and the Stainsby school choir, whose choirmaster was Mr. Gwynne Morris..
