No fewer than 365 lives were rescued fromí shipwreck round the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland, a life for each day of the year; and 27 vessels were saved from destruction or helped to safety by the life-boats. Their busiest time was in the wild wen- ther of January. During that month there were gates on six- teen days, the wind in the Eng- lish Channel rising to 103 miles an hour, and the life-boats res- cued 54 lives. In September 53
