Life-Boat Services In 1870.

LIFE-BOAT SERVICES IN 1870 .

Although the year which has just closed has been very stormy , yet it is gratifying to know that it will be remembered for the continued great exertions which have been put forth to rescue shipwrecked persons , as may be seen from the noble list of services rendered last rear by the life-boats of the

National Lifeboat Institution . This long list shows a total of 503 lives rescued by the life-boats of the Institution , in addition to 21 vessels saved from destruction . During the same period the Lifeboat Institution granted rewards for saving 271 lives by fishing and other boats , making a grand total of

774 lives saved last year mainly through its instrumentality . Altogether the Institution has contributed to the saving of 19 , 854 shipwrecked persons . These noble services of the life-boats have varied much in character . Many have been during the dark hours of night , others have been by day , but

the same glorious result has in nearly every instance followed them—the salvation of imperilled men from a watery grave . It is also a providential fact and deserving of special record and acknowledgment that , notwithstanding the life-boats of the Institution have been manned on all occasions

during the past two years by between 12 , 000 and 13 , 000 persons , not a single life has been lost from thenrduring that period ! Still it should be remembered that the work of saving shipwrecked persons , even in the best equipped life-boats , must always be one of danger , and that

no little courage and hardihood are required on the part of those who engage in it . By giving their invaluable aid they perform their full share of the duty of alleviating and reducing the amount of the misery and evil produced by the storms on our coasts . It remains for those who cannot share the

risks and exposure which those gallant men incur , to perform their part in this humane work by enabling the Institution to continue without slackening its great and philanthropic work on behalf of the shipwrecked sailor . The National Lifeboat Institution therefore appeals to all benevolent and

generous persons in the kingdom to contribute towards so good a cause . We may add that contributions in aid of the great and important work of the National Lifeboat Institution are received by all bankers throughout the United Kingdom , and by the Secretary , at the Institution , 14 , John-street Adelphi , W .
