THE MEDAL

EOYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION,

FOE THE

PKESEBVATION OF LIFE FKOM SHIPWEECK.

Obverte,—Bust of Her Majesty ; beneath, in minute 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."

THE beautiful obverse of this medal, which has recently been executed by L. C. WYON, Esq., represents the bust of QUEEN VICTORIA, 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 QUEEN, in high relief, conveys a truly pleasing and faithful likeness of Her MAJESTY, as at this period of her life; combining dignity of aspect and benevolence of nature ; and represented by Mr. WTON with the most exquisite finish, delicacy, and beauty of workmanship. The reverse, representing the Life-boat, in which there are three Sailors, rescuing a fourth from the sea, is a work of superlative merit. Two of the Sailors 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 and beautiful manner; and the expression thrown into his countenance looking up to his preserver is unrivalled by anything that we have ever seen, while the easy flowing lines of this sailor are finely contrasted by those of his companions: the whole displaying the most perfect knowledge of the human frame, the finest taste to arrange it, and a command of the graver to embody to us what the artist's bright genius had shadowed out to himself. But there is another pleasing motive for our 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 WYON, Esq., R.A.) himself.

The following is a LIST of the GOLD and SILVER MEDALS that have been voted by the Committee of this Institution, since its establishment in 1824, to persons whose humane and intrepid exertions in saving Life from Shipwreck have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that honourable distinction. The Cases will be found recorded in detail in the several Annual Eeports of the Institution.

In figs. 1 and 2, the elevation and deck plans, the general exterior form of the boat is shown with the sheer of gunwale, length of keel, and rake of stem and stern-posts. The dotted lines of fig. 1 show the position and dimensions of the air-chambers within board, the relieving- tubes, and ballast. In fig. 2, A represents the deck, B the relieving-tubes (6 inches in diameter}, C the side air-cases, D the end air-chambers, E ballast, F scuttles to admit of a free current of air under the water-tight deck, G scuttle for air, and to receive pump. In fig. 3, the exterior form of transverse sections, at different distances from stem to stern, is shown. Fig. 4 represents a midship transverse section, A being sections of the side air-cases, B the relieving-tubes, of the same depth as the space between the deck and the boat's floor. C, C, c, c, are spaces beneath the deck, placed longitudinally, at the midship part of the boat, with cases packed with cork, forming a portion of the ballast; d scuttle for ventilation, having a pump fixed in it, by which any leakage beneath the deck can be pumped out by one of the crew whilst afloat. The festooned lines in fig. 1 represent exterior life-lines attached round the entire length of the boat, to which persons in the water may cling till they can be got into the boat; the two central lines are festooned lower than the others, to be used as stirrups, so that a person in the water, by stepping on them, may climb into the boat without assistance. 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. 302 THE LIFE-BOAT. 1, 1867.
