It is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure stories and tales of survival against all odds.Indeed, we can speak from personal experience on this subject, because, among others, we received a letter, one day, in a cramped and peculiar hand, which we perused with deep interest, for it had been written by a blind youth, whose eyes, nevertheless, had been thoroughly opened to see the great importance of the lifeboat cause, for he had collected 100 pounds for the Institution! On another occasion, at the close of a lecture on the subject, an old woman, who appeared to be among the poorest of the classes who inhabit the old town of Edinburgh, came to us and said, ""Hae, there's tippence for the lifeboat!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
