First and foremost in this noble work is fche Royal National Lifeboat Institution , which last year saved , by means of its boats , no less than
884 poor fellows , who otherwise would most probably have perished . In addition to this the Board of Trade ancl the Coastguard have , by fche use of fche rocket apparatus , rescued a number of lives . It is remarked in the Report of the Institution jnst published , that it mighfc have been hoped that increased skill in navigation , the substitution of steam colliers for the sailing craft of former yearsand increased
, sobriety among our merchant seamen , would have greatly diminished the number of wrecks and of lives lost , at least on onr own coasts . Bufc , whilst those changes may have occasioned some diminution , the increase of collisions on oar crowded sea thoroughfares and other causes , have made up the average amount , and the courage and
capacity of our Lifeboat men have been | called into requisition as often , if not more frequently , than in previous years . During the past year , afc the suggestion of the Chairman , Edward Birkbeck , Esq ., M .
