THE LIFEBOAT.
Sin - As there is a deal of talk going on at the Spit about the lifeboat and the Navals, I can assure those interested that the idea of .getting the corps to work her is not an original one. In February, 1880, Mr J. P. Orinond, when promising the gentlemen who raised the company (and made it what it is) a site for a boat and drill-shed, offered to use his influence with the Harbor Board towards getting the lifeboat for the corps to practise in. This offer was respectfully declined, as the men's lime was wholly devoted to recruit drill. The suggestion ot a boat mode by Mr Ormond was the cause of the present boat belonging to the corps being even thought of.—l am, &c, Annals of the Coups.
