1888 at the hands of the sixteen surgeons in the service of the
Society, or from the Dispensaries in charge of the Mission Skippers, and
the experience of this and previous years warrants the substitution in
every fleet of a cruising Hospital, carrying a resident Surgeon, for the
type of vessel hitherto in use.

The _Queen Victoria,_ the Pioneer Hospital Ship, is now at work, while
the _Albert_, a sister ship, is being constructed at a cost of L3,750;
but it is of urgent importance that these should be efficiently
maintained, and that other vessels should be provided for similar
service.

To meet this need the full price [L3,750] of a _third_ Hospital Ship, to
be named the _John Sidney Hall_, has now been paid to the Mission, and
L1,300 towards the cost of a _fourth_, to be named the _Alice Fisher_. A
further sum of L2,450 is required upon this latter fund.

TO DEEP SEA FISHERMEN, whose offices are now at Bridge House, 181, Queen
