the meeting separated.

The following is the report

Since the last general meeting of the 14th May 1878, the utility of the Society has been proved by the galo of the 8th October, which although it only lasted a couple of hours (from 9.30 to 11.80 a.m.), did const- dorable damage to boats, and gave the members of the Society plenty of employ. ment in landing the occupants of boats which went to pieces in a very short time after touching the Praya; over 100 people were safely landed by members and men from the Sailors' Home, whose assistance has been promised whenever the Society require It. The Foreman of West Station with the men from the Home took charge of the West-end, and of the rest of the members who were called out by an "Express" imme diately the Typhoon Gun fired, assembled at Messrs Douglas Lapraik's Wharf, two were told off to the East Station, three to the Canton Wharf, and the rest along from the City Hall to Lapraik's. An overturned sampan was seen drifting past the Naval Yard with a woman sud child holding on to the keel; a member and a volunteer swam ..off and, after much labour and risk righted the boat and got all safely to land. A large cargo boat was rapidly getting swamped at her anchorage, this craft being too far to be reached by hearing lines, and not having enough cable to veer could only be got at by lines attached to two oil-cans, which were floated down to the boat to the Canton Wharf, sad by the exertions of two of the members, Inspectors Craddock, Matheson, and Robt. Claire and others, the boat was hauled to windward and all on board res- oned. In addition to those mentioned above a number of boats drifted on to the Prays, where the people were landed by the heaving lines and life hooks, in several cases the boatmen had to be driven out by members swimming off and forcing them to land. The Rocket Apparatus was in readiness but was not required.

There were six practices with the appara- tae, three in the day time, and three at night,

After the death of Mr Hart, Mr White occupied the floor over the apparatus room, from whom the Society rented the place for two months, when the whole house was ta ken over by the Society, paying the rent direct to the landlord.. During the year there were only two Committee Meetings as there was little business to transact.

In June it was found necessary to renew supply of rockets and 24 with fittings com- plote and 6 wreck lights were obtained through the Board of Trade. To pay for these, the Government granted the sum of $300 as the funds of the Society did not admit of the expenditure.

The Meeting will have to elect officers for the year.

The number of meubera is 38; during the past 18 months, 7 have resigned, 7 left the Colony, 2 died (the Hon. Treasurer and Mr Hart), and 12 joined, which reduces our number from 87, as stated as our last meet log, to 38.
