A SPLENDID RECORD. During 1907 the Royal Life-saving Institution had fourteen nulling and sailing lifeboats built, fully equinpecl, and placed where they were most needed. The fleet at the end of last year comprised 272 sailing and pulling lifeboats, four steam lifeboats, four motor lifeboats, and one steam tug. The institution’s boats were launched 370 times on service, besides which, on thirty-eight occasions crews were assembled for service. The number of lives, for the saving of which by lifeboats the Committee granted rewards, was 932; in addition rewards were given for the saving by shore-boats .and other means. The lifeboats saved forty-three vessels and boats. The total of lives for the saving of which rewards had been given since the institution wms founded in 1824 was 47,345. Last year one gold medal and other honorary awards were made, with £11,860 in money grants, including pensions, retiring allowances, gratuities, and compensation for personal injuries or loss sustained in the service. The total amount in subscriptions, donations, and dividends received by the institution in 1907 was £75,168, inclnding the very satisfactory ;um of £20,686 contributed by the Lifeboat Saturday Fond. Furthermore, £101,343 was received under the head of legacies, of which the large sum of £45,025 bequeathed by Mr C. G. Ashley was earmarked for special purposes. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
