The chief engineer of one of the steamers of the Holt Line who regularly brings to the office of the Institution's Port of Liverpool Branch a life-boat collecting box to be emptied, called a short time ago, full of apologies, because the ship had been torpedoed and the box lost. He said "I went back for it. I did really. And then I thought it was so full of copper it would surely sink me. It had nearly four pounds in it and that is a lot to lose, so I have sent in a claim for it." He also said that one of the crew had said to him some time before: "Remember chief, if you are torpedoed save the life-boat box. It has got a shilling of mine in it.".
