Excerpt from The Lifeboat Capt. W. D. Andrews was born in the city of Kingston, Ont., Canada, May 19th, 1853. From his boyhood up he has been employed in one way or another upon the water, and happily for him and many others, he early in life acquired a thorough knowledge of the art of swimming. Capt. Andrews' exploits in saving life date from the year 1869, and from that time he has always been ready to risk his own life to save the lives of others. The danger incurred in plunging overboard is very great. Many expert swimmers shrink from it. Andrews has en countered this risk under almost every variety of circum stances. He has followed the drowning under rafts of tim ber, under vessels at anchor or in docks, from great heights, and often to the bottom in great depths of water, and, what is very remarkable, always successfully. From his brilliant record are selected the following deeds of bravery, any one of which should entitle him to the highest honors this world can bestow for saving life.

Excerpt from An Unsinkable Titanic: Every Ship Its Own Lifeboat IT is the object of this work to show that, in our eagerness to make the ocean liner fast and luxurious, we have forgotten to make her safe. The safest ocean liner was the Great East ern; and she was built over fifty years ago. Her designer aimed to make the ship practically unsinkable - and he succeeded; for she passed through a more severe ordeal than the Titanic, survived it, and came into port under her own steam.

Excerpt from The Life-Boat and Its Story At last, after wide digression, we have come back to the floating crock, that we mentioned in our first page, for it is upon that same crock that the essential principle is founded. As a matter Of history, it was not until something more than a hundred years ago that the theory and the crock were brought together, but un doubtedly the principle was adopted from the earliest times. Our Viking forbears built their great open vessels on identical lines, and the same unconsidered fragment has impressed its characteristics upon the surf-boats of the world. However, we will stick to history. The crock was the immediate ancestor of the self-righting life-boat, and this is the true story of the dis covery of its capabilities.

Excerpt from Storm Warriors: Or, Life-Boat Work on the Goodwin Sands You horrid boy, hold your tongue, do, replied the Mamma, who was anticipating, with some degree of nervousness, starting upon a voyage for Australia in about three weeks' time, and could scarcely be expected to enter to the full into her young son's very practical enthusiasm. But within the last half hour the boy's shrill voice had been heard at the Ramsgate pier-head, among the cheers that welcomed the life-boat back from anight of toil and triumph on the Goodwin; and for the pre sent, to be saved from a wreck by the life-boat men is to him one of the most delightful ideas on earth.

Excerpt from Francis' Metallic Life-Boat Company It is to be regretted that no record has been kept of the number of lives already saved by these humane and benevolent arrangements. We can confidently state, however, that not less than 2000 human beings have by these arrangements been rescued from a watery grave. Yet how much is left to be done and we trust the Association will press forward the good work. NO labor Of pure philanthropy, undertaken in the right spirit, was ever allowed to languish for want of means, and it cannot be supposed that the cause of the preservation Of life from shipwreck will not find a hearty support. But this only applies to our coast, and after all we look to the owners and captains Of vessels for their interest in the cause, to their sound discretion and to their humanity of purpose. To them we would say, the Metallic Life-boat commends itself to their consideration for the following, among numerous other, reasons. Next to the ship the Life-boat is the only means Of safety to the crew and passengers, says Captain Charles L. Moses, of the Bark Henry, in his letter to his owners, dated San Francisco, March 22, 1852. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Heroes of the Goodwin Sands For fourteen years, as Missions to Seamen Chaplain for the Downs, the writer of the following chapters has seen much of the Deal boatmen, both ashore and in their daily perilous life a oat. For ten years he has also been the Honorary Secretary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution for the Goodwin Sands and Downs Branch; he has been sometimes a oat in the lifeboats at night and in storm, and he has come into official contact with the boatmen in their lifeboat work, in the three lifeboats stationed, right opposite the Goodwin Sands, at Deal, Walmer, and Kingsdown. With these opportunities of observation, he has written accurate accounts of a few of the splendid rescues effected on those out-lying and dangerous sands by the boatmen he knows so well. Each case is authenticated by names and dates; the position of the wrecked vessel is given with exactness, and the handling and manoeuvring of the lifeboat de scribed, from a sailor's point of view, with accuracy, even in details.
