1) Erin for Ever. Greetings from Old Ireland. A Packet of Real Shamrock
Seed.
2) Royal National Life-Boat Institution. Head Office: 22 Charing Cross Road,
London, W.C.2 - The Return of the Life-Boat:- Mr. Gribble's fine painting
depicts the arduous work of the Life-Boat crews. A three-masted vessel has
been driven ashore in a heavy gale. The Life-Boat has reached her, and found
not only the crew but the Captain's wife and child on board. They have been
safely rescued, but only after long exposure and suffering. The Life-Boat
crew show signs of their exhausting struggle, while the Life-Boat herself
has had her mast broken and her sail carried away. Nearly 58,000 lives
rescued since 1824. The Institution receives no subsidy from the State. The
Life-Boats are provided and maintained, rescuers rewarded, and pensions paid
by the Free Gifts of the British People.
