THE MEDAL OF THE ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, FOB THE PBESEBVATION OP LIFE FKOM SHEPWBECK. Obvarte.—Bust of Her Majesty Queen Victoria; beneath, It mlnnte letters, "L. C. Wyon." Double legend, " Royal National Life-boat Institution. Founded in 1824. Incorporated 1860. Victoria, Patroness." Reverie.—Three sailors in a Life-boat,—one of whom Is in the act of rescuing an exhausted mariner from the waves on a fragment of the wreck. "W. Wyon, Mint." Inscription, "Let not the deep swallow me up." THB beautiful obverse of this medal, executed by the late L. C. WYOK, Esq., represents the bust of Qurara VIOTOBIA, Her Majesty's locks gracefully waving and gathered in a knot behind, from which Issues a wreath of oak clustering over the forehead. This life-like portrait of the QOKEN, in high relief, conveys a truly pleasing and faithful likeness of HEB MAJESTY at that period (1862), combining the dignity of aspect and benevolence which have always characterised the Queen throughout her long and prosperous reign. The reverse, representing the Life-boat, in which there are three Seamen, rescuing a fourth from the sea, Is a work of great merit. Two of the men are steadying the boat, while the other, stooping, draws in the Shipwrecked Sailor, whose figure Is given so as to show the form in the most natural manner; and the expression thrown Into his coun- tenance looking up to his preserver is supplicating in the extreme, while the easy flowing lines of this sailor are finely contrasted by those of his companions: the whole displaying a perfect knowledge of the human frame, and a command of the graver to embody what he had shadowed ont to himself. But there is another pleasing motive for admiration of this beautiful Medal, as the figure who Is so humanely extending his relief to the drowning Mariner is a portrait of the Artist, the late WILLIAH WYON, Esq., E.A., himself. The colour of the ribbon (which is corded silk) attached to the medal is blue. The following Is a LIST of the GOLD and SILVER MEDALS which have been voted by the Committee of the Institution from its establishment in 1824 to the 31st Dec., 1896, to persons whose humane and intrepid exertions In saving Life from Shipwreck on our Coasts have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that honourable distinction. The Cases will be found recorded In detail in the several Annual Reports of the Institution. The total number of Medals and Clasps granted by the Institution is 1,253, 99 of which were fe «old, and 1,154 In Silver. AiXe.—The asterisk (*) after the name denotes the reception of a Gold Medal. The figure after the name signifies the number of honorary distinctions received from the Institution. Abbreviations.—C1. G".—Coast Guard. B. C.—Kwenue Cruiser. M. M.—Master Mariner.

The requisite qualities of a life-boatman's life-belt are— 1. Sufficient extra buoyancy (maximum 28 Ibs., minimum 25 Ibs.) to support a man heavily clothed, with his head and shoulders above the water, or to enable him to support another person besides himself. 2. Perfect flexibility, BO as to readily conform to the shape of the wearer. 3. A division into two zones, an upper and lower, so that between the two it may be secured tightly round the waist; for in no other manner can it be confined sufficiently close and secure round the body without such pressure over the chest and ribs as to materially affect the free action of the lungs, impede the muscular movement of the chest and arms, and thereby diminish the power of endurance of fatigue, which, in rowing-boats, is a matter of vital importance. 4. Strength, durability and non-liability to injury. IST MAT, 1897.] THE LIFE-BOAT STATION. 743 THE LIFE-BOAT STATION. THE following brief description and diagrams illustrative of a complete Life-boat Establishment, including the House for the protection of the boat, will serve to convoy an idea of the general character of one of the 298 Life-boat Stations of the BOYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION. It will be seen that it is a work of a costly nature, and that not only in the first instance, but that a large permanent expense is entailed in keeping the whole machinery in an efficient state, in the re-supply of any part of it which may be de- stroyed or worn out, in the exercise of the boats' crews, in launching and working the boats, and in remunerating them for their services in saving their fellow-creatures. Yet, looking to the vast importance of the result effected, and the responsibility of calling on men to risk their lives in effecting the same, it is felt that few if any persons will be found who will consider that expense to be incurred in vain. THE LIFE-BOAT. (See Diagrams on next page.) The following drawings show the general outline and principal fittings of a 34 feet by 7i feet self-righting boat. Figure 1 gives the profile or broadside view, the shaded part showing that devoted to the air-cases, which give extra buoyancy. The letter A shows the deck, and the unshaded parts the relieving-tubes, by which any water that breaks on board escapes. The shaded part of the keel, B, repre- sents the ballast composed of iron. The festooned dotted lines are the life-lines outside the boat, for men to catch hold of when overboard. In Figure 2, the unshaded space, A, represents the uncovered part of the deck, 744 THE LIFE-BOAT. [1ST MAT, 1897.

DECK PLA N Fig.4 BODY PLAN MIDSHIP SECTION This Life-boat possesses in the highest degree all the qualities which it is desirable that a Life-boat should possess:— 1. Great lateral stability, or resistance to upsetting. 2. Speed against a heavy sea. 3. Facility for launching and taking the shore. 4. Immediate self-discharge of any water breaking into her. 5. The important advantage of self-righting if upset. 6. Strength. 7. Stowage room for a large number of passengers. IST MAT, 1897.] THE LIFE-BOAT STATION. 745 THE LIFE-BOAT TBANSPOETING-CAERIAGE. The Life-boat transporting-carriage is a very important auxiliary to the boat. Nearly every Life-boat, except a few of the larger size, is provided with a carriage, on which she is kept in the boat-house ready for immediate transportation to the most favourable position for launching to a wreck. A Life-boat is thus made available for a greater extent of coast than she otherwise would be; and even when launched from abreast of the boat-house, she can generally be much quicker conveyed to the water's edge than without a carriage. In addition to this ordinary use, a carriage is of immense service in launching a boat from a beach; indeed, to such an extent is this the case, that a boat can be readily launched from a carriage in a high surf, when without one it would often be very difficult to do so. The carriage consists of a fore and main body. The latter is formed of a keelway, and of bilgeways attached to it, and resting on the main axle, the boat's weight being entirely on the rollers of the keelway. Its leading characteristics are that while for launching it forms an inclined plane, down which the boat can be launched off the rear end with considerable impetus, it can also be used for replacing the boat, the inclined plane being reversed by removing the fore-carriage. A very full equipment of stores is supplied to the Life-boats of the Institution— such as cork life-belts, anchors and cables, grapnels and lines, life-buoys, lanterns, rockets, and many other articles, together with portable or launching-skids. 746 THE LIFE-BOAT. [1ST MAY, 1897. THE LIFE-BOAT HOUSE. The boats of the NATIONAL LIFB-BOAT INSTITUTION, and all belonging to them, are kept in roomy and substantial boat-houses, under lock and key, in charge of paid coxswains, under the general superintendence of local honorary committees of residents in the several localities. Each boat has its appointed coxswain at a salary of 81., and an assistant at 21. a year, with further allowances under special circumstances. The crew consists, in addition, of a bowman, who is paid 30s. a year, and as many boatmen as the boat pulls oars. A signalman is also appointed who receives a retaining fee of V. per annum, and payment as a helper each time he is on duty. The members of the volunteer crews are registered and, wherever practicable, at least double the number of men required are entered on the register. Such men are mostly resident boatmen, fishermen or Coastguardmen. On every occasion of going afloat to save life, the coxswains and each of the crew receive alike from the funds of the Institution (whether successful or not) 10»., if by day, and II., if by night; and usually 4». each for every time of going afloat for exercise. These payments are increased by one half during the six months of each year beginning the 1st October, and ending the 31st March. A reward of 7«. is given to the man who first brings intelligence of a wreck in such a position as not to be in sight of a Coastguard man on duty or other responsible look-out man. A flag hoisted by day, and the firing of a carronade (or other alarm signal) by night, are the well-known signals for calling the crew together. On boarding wrecks, the preservation of life is the sole consideration. Should any goods or merchandise be brought into tie Life-boat, contrary to the coxswain's remonstrance, he is authorised to throw them overboard. The approximate cost of s Life-boat Station is 1,0507., and is made up as follows :— Life-boat and her equipment, including Life-belts for the Crew, Skids, and Transporting-carriage for the Life-boat . . . £700 Boat-house, minimum cost (Slipway extra) ..... 350 Total .... £1,050 It is often necessary to provide a Slipway for launching purposes, which costs from 200/. to 1,000?., or even more. The Annual Expense of maintaining a Life-boat Station is about 100?. Such is a brief summary of the chief of the Regulations under which the Life-boats are worked. How faithfully and with what result they are carried out let the journals of each Life-boat Station and the annals of the Institution tell. The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has now 298 Life-boats under its charge. Nearly all of these have been specially presented to it, and they save every year hundreds of shipwrecked sailors. Altogether, the Institution has granted rewards for the saving of 39,815 lives, either by its Life-boats or by other means. Despite, however, this fleet of 298 Life-boats, and of 16 others locally provided or otherwise sup- ported, and despite the numerous rocket apparatus stations on our coast, there remains the melancholy fact that on an average 600 lives are lost annually on or near the coasts of the United Kingdom alone, as shown by the Board of Trade Returns, proclaiming solemnly, though silently, that, for humanity's sake, and for the national credit, no exertions should be spared in providing every possible means for tie conveyance of succour to the shipwrecked. The Institution needs an income of at least 70,000?. to maintain its great Life-saving Fleet; and the Committee feel assured that it will never lack it so long as it maintains its boats in the state of thorough efficiency that they are in at the present time, and manned as they are on every emergency by as fearless and noble a class of men as ever Nelson or Collingwood led to battle to uphold our country's honour and glory.

Ritchie, M.P., President of the Board of Trade, said in the House of Commons on the 14th February, 1896 :— " It is not the intention of the Board of Trade to interfere with the excellent work of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution." The Eight Hon. J. Bryee, M.P., when President of the Board of Trade, said in the House of Commons on tke 18th August, 1894::— " The National Life-Boat Institution deserves the confidence of the people." The Eight Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, when presiding at a meeting at the Mansion House on the 13th June, 1894, said:- — " The Royal National Life-Boat Institution is one of the most meritorious and useful voluntary institutions in this the greatest maritime country of the world. Indeed, there is perhaps no society which better deserves the financial support of the citizens of London." The Eight Hon. the Earl Speneer, K.G., when First Lord of the Admiralty, stated at the Annual Meeting of the Life-Boat Institution on the 21st April, 1894 :— " A work like this is done entirely voluntarily without assistance from the State, and in this country I think we take a great pride in this. The Institution has a great claim on the country. ... It does a great and a national work. On this account it has a claim on the generosity and liberality of the people." The Eight Hon. A. J. Mundella, M.P., when President of the Board of Trade, said at the Annual Meeting on the 18th March, 1893 :— " No Government department could ever do the work as well as the National Life-Boat Institution. No Government department would ever maintain that alertness and alacrity which the. Governors of that Institution always exhibited; and no Government department could ever evoke that generous sympathy with heroism which has characterised the work of the Institution. I trust the time will never come when the English public will abdicate their duty and their highest privilege of supporting such a noble Institution." The Eight Hon. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart,., M.P., wJien President of the Board of Trade, stated at the Annual Meeting of the Life-Boat Institution on the 30th April, 1892:— " In the work of saving life at sea the Life-Boat Institution takes the larger part, not only as regards the number of lives saved and money spent, but also as regards the efficiency of the work done. I have never had brought before my notice one single case in which the crews of the Life-Boats have failed to do their duty." The Eight Hon. Sir A. B. Forwood, Bart., M.P., when Secretary to the Admiralty, stated in public at Liverpool:— " The Admiralty have no machinery whatever for working the Life-Boat Service, and I am decidedly of opinion that the best, and indeed the only way that this work can be carried on is by the existing organisation."., psr Mr. Piestoe.
