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 bis coun- tenance looking up to bis preserver is supplicating in the extreme, while tbe 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 out to himself. Bat 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 WILLIAM WTOH, Esq., K.A., himself. Tbe 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., 1897, 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 1,260, 99 of which were in Gold, and 1,161 in Silver. Sate.—The asterisk (*) after the name denotes the reception of a Gold Medal.

' ,. / ' 2ND MAY, 1898.] THE LIFE-BOAT STATION. 93 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 convey an idea of the general character of one of the 295 Life-boat Stations of the EOYAL 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 ontline and principal fittings of a 34 feet by 74 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, THE LIFE-BOAT.

DECK PLA N . BODY PI AN 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. 8. Facility for launching and taking the shore. 4. Immediate self-discharge of any water breaking into her. 6. The important advantage of self-righting if upset. 6. Strength. 7. Stowage room for a large number of passengers. 2ND MAT, 1898.] THE LIFE-BOAT STATION. 95 THE LIFE-BOAT TBANSPOBTING-CABBIAGE. 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. 96 THE LITE-BOAT. [2ND MAT, 1898. THE LIFE-BOAT HOUSE. The boats of the NATIONAL LIFE-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 S/., and an assistant at 11. a year, with further allowances under special circumstances. The crew consists, in addition, of a bowman, who is paid SOg. a year, and as many boatmen as the boat pulls oars. A signalman is also appointed who receives a retaining fee of 17. 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 I/., if by night; and usually 4». each for every time of going afloat for exercise. It should he specially noted that the Life-boat crews, excepting when remunerated by the owners of vessels for property salvage service, are paid by the Institution for their'efforts, whether successful or not, in saving life. These paymentsare increased bv one half during the six months of each year beginning the 1st October, and ending the 31st March. The Institution also grants retiring allowances to Coxswains, Bowmen and Signalmen of good behaviour and long service. A reward of 7s. 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 the Life-boat, contrary to the coxswain's remonstrance, he is authorised to throw them overboard. The formation of a Life-boat Station costs more than 1,00021, and the Annual Expense of maintaining it is about iOOZ.— in many instances much more. 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 journal? of each Life-boat Station and the annals of the Institution tell. The NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION has now 295 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 40,474 lives, either by its Life-boats or by other means. Despite, however, this fleet of 296 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 60f> 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 the conveyance of succour to the shipwrecked. The Institution needs an income of about 80,000?. 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.
