LIFE-SAVING.
MESSAGE FROM THE KING. The secretary of the New Zealand Council of the Boyal Life Saving Society Mr P. J. Lawrence Scott, has received the following letter from the chief secretary of the Society in London: "I have much pleasure in sending you a copy of a letter received by our president, Lord Desborough, and signed bv Sir Frederick Ponsonby, which I Lope you will kindly convey to all who have promoted the work in which our Society is engaged." The enclosure is as follows: "I have laid before the King the annual report of the Royal Life Saving Society, and His Majesty* who has always watched with the keenest interest the work done by the members all over the Empire, has learnt with satisfaction of its continuous growth and present sound position. His Majesty was much impressed with the fact that the number of awards increased last year to nearly 38 600 which shows the excellence of the instruction provided, as the gallant and successful deeds, performed by those who have acquired the knowledge, are a practical demonstration of its value. I am to ask you to be good enough to convey to all who have worked so well for the promotion of the objects of the Society, His Majesty's congratulations on the results achieved."
