At Montrose on October 26th the Earl of Airlie, Lord Lieutenant of Angus, presided at the naming ceremony of two life-boats, "The Good Hope" which went to the station in 1939, and the "Norman Nasmyth" which went in 1940. "The Good Hope" was presented to the Institution by Mr. J. R. Barnett, its consulting naval architect, on behalf of the donors who wished to remain anonymous, and was named by Mrs. Barnett. The "Norman Nasmyth", built out of a legacy from the late Mr. Norman Nasmyth, of Glenfarg, was presented by Mr. G. M. Taylor and named by Ex-Provost W. D. Johnston. Colonel A. D.
