GALLANT RYE
MANNING THE NEW LIFEBOAT Crass Association —By Telegraph--Copyright. LONDON, March 2L (Received March 2-5, at 1 a.m.) Despite the disaster on November 10, which wiped out half of Rye Harbour’s manhood, the gallant little village is eager to man a new lifeboat, for which seventeen volunteers, including young men relatives of those drowned, have volunteered. They say they must lie ready to help their brother seamen to maintain the reputation of Ryo Harbour. The lifeboat will be able to put out when the Dungeness and Hastings lifeboats cannot. '.Hie womenfolk say “ Onr fathers and grandfathers went on errands of mercy. We suppose onr husbands and sons must continue to do so.”—United Service, ■.•.ISSKEaa
