- Jolly, Cyrl. S.O.S. – The Story of the Life-boat Service. London. 1961. 1st. 156p. DJ. In former times if a ship was wrecked there was little chance of survival. Sailors would drown in sight of land while people on shore could only stand by and watch helplessly. In the 1820’s Sir William Hillary was roused to action and formed the first rescue service. This is the history of the Royal National Life-boat Institution, and is full of heroic deeds for all who are thrilled by tales of the sea. Illustrated with photographs. Clean, crisp. (F/G+). $27. Closeout $17.
