The Institution is very grateful to the Merchant Navy Comforts Service, the Friends of the Fighting Forces and the Red Cross Comforts Depot far their many gifts of sea-boot stockings, woollen helmets, jerseys, socks, gloves and scarves. Enough have been received to satisfy the needs of all stations and give the Institution a good reserve. The Life-boat Seryice warmly thanks the ladies, in Great Britain and America, who knitted these comforts..
