The president, Sir William Sim, commented at the annual meeting on the happy fact that there had been no disaster for many years, which had enabled a large fund to be built up. Only £(53 had been paid out during the year. In answer to the appeal of Captain Attwood, for help for a fisherman who lost his boat in a gale, £10 was voted.
