FINDING.

We find that the charge against Mr. Hubert Porter, of being asleep on watch on the night of the 12th February, 1913, proved. There appears to be no defence. There is no evidence of his having been under the influence of liquor or of his having been overworked. The offence appears to have been deliberately committed. We therefore suspend his certifi- cate as second mate for one year.

FINDING.

221

We find that Mr. William Massey McGhee, second mate of the British S.S. Laertës, official number 81318 of Hongkong, the number of whose certificate of competency as second mate is 2924 Hongkong, was guilty of serious misconduct on board the said ship, insomuch that, on the 9th April, 1913, the ship being at the time at Saigon, he sent an insulting letter to the mate of the said ship, by means of which he attempted to create bad feeling between the master and mate, he having appended a colourable imitation of the said master's signature to the said letter. That on the 13th April, 1913, the ship being at the time at Saigon, and on the point of sailing, he did leave the said ship without permission, returning on board drunk, and then created a disturbance by using threatening and abusive language to the master and mate. That no evidence has been adduce l in support of the third charge.

In consideration of Mr. McGhee's previous record, we adjudge him to have his certifi- cate of competency as second mate cancelled.

Colonial Secretary.

Circular. No. 12.

233

From His Majesty's Minister to Mr. Jamieson.

May 12th, 1913.

SIR,With reference to my Circular No. 2 of January 24th last, I transmit to you herewith translation of a further Memorandum from the Wai Chiao Pu concerning contracts for the purchase of munitions of war.

You will observe that evidence of the consent of the Minister of War is required to render legal any such contracts.

I would request you to bring this communication to the notice of British merchants residing within your district.

Translation.

Memo.

I am, &c.,

J. N. JORDAN.

May 7th, 1913.

　　　The Wai Chiao Pu have the honour to inform H.M. Minister that the following letter has been received from the Ministry of War :-

"Owing to the fact that there were no limits placed on the purchase of arms, which was going on promiscuously, two abbreviated rules for the purchase of arms were made and, on the 18th December of last year, published for observance by the various provinces and military forces; the rules were also inserted in the Gazette of the 21st of that month. Information has now been received that foreign merchants at various places are continuing their illegal sales of arms and ammunition, even including large quantities. of rifles and guns, etc.; farther, that arrangements have been made before- hard for this war material to be handed over outside port limits, in order that the import may be conducted secretly. If such actions be not nipped in the bud, it is impossible to foretell their evil consequences. The Head of the Department concerned has now been instructed to inform foreign merchants by letter that in future war materials. purchased in any part of China are not to be delivered unless evidence of the consent of this Ministry is forthcoming. The latter, however, fears that, owing to the way in which merchants consider nothing else but their own profit, there may be difficulty in carrying out this order, and will be glad if you will ask the Diplomatic Body at Peking to order all foreign merchants in future not to carry out illegal orders for the purchase of war material."

The abbreviated rules were enclosed in the letter from the Ministry of War.

At the present time people's minds are disturbed by the unsettled situation. In the Wai Chiao Pu's opinion war material is an extremely dangerous class of goods, and (trade therein) should be severely circumscribed. The Ministry has therefore the honour to forward to His Excellency copies of the two abbreviated rules laid down by the Ministry of War, and to request him to inform foreign merchants thereof. In future when orders for the purchase of war material are given, evidence of the Ministry of War's consent is necessary; no illegal deliveries are permitted in order that due care may be exercised and hidden misfortune avoided. The Ministry deems that His Excellency will be happy to give his assistance, in order to assist in preserving the public peace, and trusts that he will reply.

Enclosure.

(Seal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.)

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 30, 1913.

Enclosure in Memo from the Wai Chiao Pu dated May 7th, 1913.

Two ABBREVIATED RULES.

1. When any province purchases rifles, guns, ammunition, implements (of military use) or materials, the Tu Tu shall first be requested to send the draft agreement to the Ministry. Only after the latter's reply authorizing the purchase has been received may the agreement be ratified and money paid over. The Ministry will inform the Revenue Council, which shall instruct the Custom House concerned to examine and release the material ordered, while the Tu Tu shall issue a permit permitting its import. Where an order has been given without the consent of the Ministry, order to release the material will not be given.

2. When military forces directly under the Ministry of War need rifles, guns, ammuni- tion, implements (of military use) or materials to make up their requirements, the class of material required and its quantity shall first be reported to the Ministry, and the advance of money to purchase it shall be awaited, or the military force concerned will be instructed to give the order for the purchase itself, as the case may be. Prior to such order being given the draft agreement shall be sent to the Ministry; only after the latter's reply approv- ing of the purchase has been received is it permitted to actually ratify (the agreement). Except by following the above procedure military forces are forbidden to purchase war material on their own motion.

BRITISH LEGATION, PEKING, May 13th, 1913.

　　　　SIR,-With reference to my Circular No. 26 of December 3rd last, I transmit to you herewith translation of a further Memorandum from the Wai Chiao Pu on the subject of foreign Loans.

You will observe that the Chinese Government decline to recognise any loans by public or private bodies in any part of China from foreign merchants, in which railways or mines which are the property of the State are given as security, without the consent of the Central Government having been obtained.

I would request you to bring this communication to the notice of British merchants residing within your district.

His Majesty's Consul-General, Canton.

Translation. Note.

J. N. JORDAN.

May 6th, 1913.

SIR, I have the honour to observe that the late Manchu Government and that of the Republic have on many occasions informed the Diplomatic Body that in cases where foreign loans are made, whether by provincial officials for public requirements, or by merchants for undertaking railways or mines, the consent of the Central Government must be obtained, and the latter will officially inform the Diplomatic Body for purposes of record, and further, that the foreign merchant making the loan must first inform his Minister at Peking who will enquire whether the loan has the consent of the Chinese Government, only after which may the loan actually be paid over.

On the 30th November of last year a Presidential Order was received stating that it was essential that our financial plans should form an united whole, and that in future all matters concerning loans should come under the direction of the Minister of Finance. On the 2nd December the contents of this Order were communicated to all the Ministers at Peking and they were requested to inform merchants of their respective nationalities.

It is evident that the object of the Chinese Government in making the above repeated declarations as to the method of contracting loans throughout the country was, not merely to secure the solidity of our internal finances, but to protect the interests of foreign mer-

chants who might advance money: this should be credited by all foreign merchants. I have now the honour again to declare that the Government will refuse to recognise any loans by public or private bodies in any part of China from foreign merchants in which railways or mines which are public property are given as security, for which the consent of the Cen- tral Government has not been obtained, and this whether or no an agreement has been drawn up. Where cases of this sort occur and foreign merchants as a result suffer financial losses, the Government will not undertake the responsibility of obtaining compensation for them.

　　I have the honour to communicate this to Your Excellency, and to request you to instruct merchants of your nationality, in order that they may strictly observe the Regulations laid down. By doing so you will assist in the maintenance of friendly relations.

Whereas by the Military Stores (Prohibition of Exportation) Ordinance, 1862, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette or in any Extraordinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, and any articles which His Excellency may judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Naval Stores, or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles respect- ively, subject to any permission that may be obtained under Section 3 of the Ordinance:

And whereas, by various Proclamations issued from time to time, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited, and remain prohibited until the 27th day of May, 1913, and it is expedient to continue such prohibition:

Now, therefore, I, Sir FRANCIS HENRY WAY, Knight Commander of the Most Dis- tinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, prohibit for a further period of one year from and including the 28th day of May, 1913, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Military and Naval Stores, Sulphur and Saltpetre, the last two being articles which I judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Naval Stores, or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles respectively, unless this Proclamation shall, in the meantime, be revoked, or, unless permission shall have been obtained under Section 3 of the Ordinance above mentioned.

FINDING.

CLAUD SEVERN

Colonial Secretary.

The Court finds that the charges of misconduct preferred against Mr. John Taite Naylor, 2nd Mate of the British S.S. Foochow, the number of whose certificate of competency as Master is 034,314 Cardiff, proved, insomuch that (1st) on the 21st June, 1913, he came on board the said ship at 8.10 p.m. under the influence of liquor, and created a disturbance which caused an attack to be made upon him by the Chinese crew, which might have had serious results; (2nd) that on the night of the 7th July, 1913, being officer in charge of the bridge, he wilfully disobeyed the orders of the Master and Mate of the said ship, by neglect- ing to take a four point bearing of the Karang Koko Light; and, when ordered by the Master to leave the bridge, refused to do so.

　　　　We therefore direct that his certificate of competency be suspended for two calendar months.

Given under our hands in Victoria, Hongkong, this 1st day of August, 1913.

Signed at London, June 14, 1913.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 26, 1913. 385

The Undersigned, duly authorized thereto by their respective Governments, have agreed to the following articles :-

Article 1.

The Government of the Portuguese Republic, whilst reserving the right of managing and controlling the manipulation of raw opium and the sale of prepared opium in the colony of Macao, engage to introduce in the opium regulations of that colony clauses and provisions similar to those contained in the regulations of Hongkong relative to the repression of the illicit trade in prepared opium.

Article 2.

The Macao opium farmer will not be permitted to import more than 260 chests of opium (a chest means 40 balls of raw opium) per annum exclusively destined for the con- sumption of the fixed and floating population of Macao.

Article 3.

The Hongkong opium farmer will not be permitted to import more than 540 chests These imports shall be exclusively destined for the consumption of the fixed and floating population of Hongkong. These figures are embodied in the contract recently concluded with the Hongkong farmer.

Article 4.

　　　The farmers of Macao and Hongkong will be permitted to import, per annum, respect- ively, 240 and 120 chests of raw opium exclusively destined for exportation to countries which have not prohibited at present or which shall not prohibit hereafter such imports of opium.

Article 5.

　　　The limit fixed in the preceding article for Hongkong must be considered a definite one and not subject to alteration; however, it is understood that in Macao power will be retained. to increase the number of chests of raw opium imported each year and destined for exporta- tion, provided that proof is given that the said imports are destined to meet the requirements of lawful trade. For this purpose the farmer shall produce to the Governor of Macao customs certificates passed by the authorities of countries importing the opium showing that the quantities authorized are required for legitimate purposes, over and above the 240 chests referred to in article 4.

Article 6.

　　　The Governor of Macao will have power to grant licences under the preceding article for the importation of the quantities of raw opium exceeding the limit fixed in article 4.

Article 7.

　　　Whereas the limit of chests of raw opium that can be imported annually into Macao has been fixed in articles 2, 4, and 5 of this Agreement, the Government of India will permit the purchase of opium in open market at the sales at Calcutta or Bombay or any places in India, for export to Macao, up to and not exceeding the limits and conditions so fixed, so long as the opium farmer at Hongkong is permitted to obtain his supplies from this source.

Article 8.

　　　Raw opium coming from India, consigned to the farmer of Macao, within the limits and conditions above indicated, will be allowed transhipment at longkong free of duty or taxation.

Article 9.

　　　It is understood that if after periods of five years (the duration of the contracts of the farmer) the numbers of chests agreed upon for local consumption at or export from Macao should respectively prove to be excessive, the Portuguese. Government will consider the desirability of revising the amount in question.

　　　The present Agreement shall remain in force for a period of ten years, but may be terminated by either Government at any time on giving to the other twelve months' notice of its intention to do so. On the expiration of the said period of ten years it shall continue in force, unless and until a similar notice of termination is given by either Government.

SIR,- With reference to the Circular despatches noted in the margin, I have the honour to inform you that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have decided to raise the age limits for candidates for Naval Cadetships from 12-13 years, to 13-1312 years. I enclose copies of the Regulations* embodying the new arrangements, which will come into force at the examination to be held in December next for the January, 1914, entry.

2. Their Lordships have also had under consideration the possibility of mak- ing arrangements for the inclusion of Colonial candidates in the scheme which they have recently introduced for the Special Entry of Naval Cadets. I enclose copies of a Memorandum* giving particulars of this scheme, with copies of the Regulations* governing the entry of candidates.

3. It has been decided that no satisfactory arrangements for the local examination of candidates for Special Entry Cadetships are possible: but, while local facilities to compete cannot be given, the names of candidates will be gladly received by the Admiralty if they can appear for examination in England.

4. The Regulations enclosed are those drawn up for the year 1913, but those for 1914-16 will be on the same general lines, except that candidates during those years must be between the ages of 17 and 18 on the 1st of June of the year in which the examination is held.

I have, &c.,

Regulations. Shipping Ordinance, No. 10 of 1899.

tions 1913

In accordance with sub-section 2 of section 4 of that Ordin- Board of ance, every British Ship, and every Colonial Ship exceeding 60 Trade Regula- tons, and every Foreign Ship holding a Passenger Certificate under Sec. 1. section 10, shall, when leaving any Port of the Colony, be provided with Officers who possess valid Certificates of Competency of a grade appropriate to their stations in the Ship; or of a higher grade, according to the following scale :---

(a.) In any case, with a duly certificated Master.

(b.) If the Ship is of one hundred tons or upwards, with at least one officer besides the Master holding a certificate not lower than that of Only Mate, or, of Mate of a River Steamer, in the case of a River Steamer.

(c.) If the Ship carries more than one Mate, with at least

the First and Second Mates duly certificated.

Sub-section 4 of the same Ordinance provides that the Master of any British Ship, or of any Colonial Ship, or of any Foreign Ship holding a Passenger Certificate under section 10, leaving or attemping to leave any Port of the Colony without having on board and entered on the register and Articles of Agreement officers possessing the certificates required by this section, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars.

Sub-section 5 provides that every person who, having been engaged in any of the above mentioned capacities in any such ship, goes to sea in that capacity without being at the time entitled to, and possessed of, such certificate as is required by this section, and every person who employs any person in any of the above named capacities in such ship without ascertaining that he is at the time entitled to, or possessed of, such certificate, shall, for each such offence, be liable to a penalty not exceeding Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars.

Applications for examina- tion.

Nature of service determined by actual position on board ship.

Age.

Fraud and misrepre- sentation.

4. Candidates for examination must make their applications upon the appropriate form, which must be filled in at the Harbour Office, and the Candidates' testimonials and discharges must be lodged with the Harbour Master.

The examiner should be particularly careful to ascertain that there are no gaps in the Candidate's service which are not properly accounted for, before he is allowed up for examination.

5. Sea service cannot be regarded as qualifying for examination for certificates of competency unless it can be verified by reference to the articles of the ship on which it was performed, e.g., service claimed by testimonial or otherwise to have been as mate when the actual rating as shown by articles was only that of boatswain or other petty officer will not be accepted where officer's service is required. Where service as first (or second) mate is required to qualify for examination the candidate must actually have held the executive position next (or next but one) to the master.

Candidates who represent themselves as having served in a higher capacity than that actually held in the ship render them- selves liable to prosecution under section 104 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. (See paragraph 7.)

In this connection examiners should remember that it is common practice for officers to be rated on ships' articles as "second mate" although in reality they were only third or fourth mates and acted in one of those position's on board ship.

In every case where a candidate for a master's certificate of competency claims service as second mate, he should be requested to make a declaration in Divn. H of the Form Exn. 2, to the effect that during his service as second mate he had only one officer over him, or if more than one, that a third and fourth mate were also carried.

If the service claimed is as "auxiliary second mate" the candidate should be required to state the number of officers serving in a junior capacity.

A candidate with first mate's service should make a declaration that he was the senior officer under the master, or, if not, he must comply with the requirements of para. 97, as it has been found that in some cases the second mate has been signed on the articles as first mate, the proper first mate being called chief officer simply for examination purposes.

It must be clearly understood that the amount of service laid down in the Regulations for each grade of certificate of competency is the absolute minimum that can be accepted, and unless a candidate can show the full amount he must in no case be allowed up for examination.

6. Should any doubt exist as to the age of a Candidate, he will be required to produce a certificate of birth.

7. It is provided by section 104 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, that any person who makes, assists in making, or procures to be made, any false representation for the purpose of procuring for himself or any other person a Certificate of Competency, shall, in respect of such offence, be guilty of a misdemeanour, the punish- ment for which is imprisonment for any period not exceeding six months, with or without hard labour, or a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds.

If the candidate subsequently produces a medical certificate to the effect that his hearing, speech, or physical or mental condition has improved or is normal, the Governor will take into consideration the question of allowing the candidate to sit again for examination.

The superior Certificate will not be granted until the Candidate has performed the amount of service in which he was deficient, and has been re-examined in all the subjects, unless the Harbour Master sees fit to dispense with the re-examination.

No part, however, of the fee he has paid will be returned to him, and on presenting himself, when qualified, for re-examination for the higher Certificate, he will be required to pay a further full fee.

16. If a Candidate fails for bad spelling or writing, he will not be re-examined until after a lapse of at least three months. If he fails for ignorance of the English language, he will not be re-examined until after the lapse of six months.

17. If a Candidate fails in Seamanship so far as regards the management of square rigged sailing vessels, in his examination for an Ordinary Certificate, he may, if qualified as to service, without further formal application or further payment of fee, proceed with the examination for a Certificate of Competency for Foreign-going Steamships, or for fore and aft rigged vessels.

18. Candidates for examination, in making their application on form Exn. 2 will be required to pay the examination fee before any step is taken in the way of inquiring into their services or testing their qualifications. If the Candidate is found not to be eligible the fee will be returned.

19. The fee for examination must be paid to the Officer deputed for that purpose by the Harbour Master, in the Harbour Office. If a Candidate offers a gratuity to any Officer of the Department, he will be regarded as having committed an act of misconduct, and will be rejected, and not allowed to be again examined for twelve months, either at the Port where the offence was committed, or at any other Port.

20. If a Candidate fails to pass the examination, no part of the fee will be returned to him.

Note 1.-No abatement will be made to the fee charged to a Candidate in consequence of his possessing a Certificate of a lower grade.

Note 2. The same fee will be charged, after failure, on each occasion a Candidate presents himself for re-examination.

.-(1.) Every Candidate for a Certificate of Competency of any grade will be required to produce a Certificate from the St. John Ambulance Association, the St. Andrew's Ambulance As- sociation or the London County Council to the effect that he has passed an examination in First Aid to the Injured.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 21, 1913.

(2.) The Certificate must be an adult Certificate, i.e., obtained by the Candidate when sixteen years of age or more, and the examination for it must have been passed not more than three years before the date of the examination for the Certificate of Competency.

(3.) If a Candidate does not possess such a Certificate of proficiency in First Aid he should apply some time before he wishes to sit for examination for a Certificate as Master or Mate to the local secretary of the St. John or St. Andrew's Ambulance Associa- tion, who will inform him of the available facilities for the instruction and examination of Candidates in First Aid.

(4.) Besides the courses of instruction which are provided on shore at the ports in the United Kingdom, at which examinations for Certificates as Master and Mate are held, courses of instruction given by qualified surgeons on board merchant vessels will be accepted by the St. John Ambulance Association as qualifying the Candidate for examination for their Certificate of proficiency in First Aid, provided the surgeon certifies that he has followed the syllabus of instruction laid down by the Association.

(5.) The St. Andrew's Ambulance Association will also accept instruction by a ship's surgeon on board ship as qualifying a Candidate for examination for their Certificate of proficiency in First Aid, provided their syllabus is followed. In this case the Candidate must previously have enrolled and obtained an attend- ance card by applying to the local secretary of the Association, or to the head office at 176, West Regent Street, Glasgow.

(6.) It will not be necessary for the Candidate for a Certificate as Master or Mate in all cases to produce the formal Certificate of proficiency in First Aid issued by the Associations. In order to prevent delay in proceeding with the examination for the Certificate as Master or Mate and in the issue of the Certificate to successful Candidates, the special Mercantile Marine linen Certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association and duly signed by the Lecturer, the Surgeon Examiner and the Association's local representative, or, in Scotland, a certificate signed by the Local Examiner of the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association, to the effect that the Candidate has passed the examination for a Certificate of proficiency, may be accepted as showing that the Candidate possesses the required knowledge of First Aid.

Sight Tests.

23. Every candidate for a certificate of competency must pass the prescribed sight tests before a certificate can be issued to him. If circumstances render it necessary for him to proceed with the examination in navigation and seamanship before undergoing the sight tests, he should be informed that the examination in navigation and seamanship will be cancelled in the event of his failure to pass either of the sight tests.

(1.) FORM VISION TEST.-Every candidate for a certificate must pass the form vision test. If he presents himself for examination before January 1st, 1914, he will only be required to possess half normal vision using both eyes together. A candidate who has obtained a certificate before that date will be allowed to obtain his higher certificates on the same standard of vision.

Any candidate may, and every candidate presenting himself for examination for his first certificate on or after January 1st, 1914, must pass a higher standard, viz., normal vision using both eyes or either eye separately.

Form Vision.

Any candidate who has obtained his first certificate under these conditions may obtain his higher certificates, provided that he has normal vision using both eyes or either eye separately.

(2.) COLOUR VISION TEST.-These tests comprise a wool test and a lantern test.

Every candidate must undergo the colour vision tests on the first occasion on which he presents himself for examination for a certificate of competency; but, if he then passes, he will not be required by the Board of Trade to undergo the colour vision tests on any subsequent occasion. No person who holds a Certificate of Competency should be allowed to be examined in colour vision.

(3.) A candidate who fails to pass the prescribed form vision test may present himself for re-examination at intervals of three months. A candidate who fails to pass the colour vision test, or who is referred by the local examiner for further examination in London, is not allowed to be re-examined locally. In the case of a candidate who is referred for further examination the Board of Trade will make arrangements for a special examination in London, and it is also open to any candidate who is adjudged to have failed in the local colour vision test, to appeal to the Board, who may, if they think fit, remit the case to a special body of examiners for decision.

(4.) When a candidate fails to pass the local colour vision test, the examiner will point out to him the conditions under which he can appeal. Appeals are to be made through the examiner, and forwarded to the Governor with the examiner's remarks.

(5.) Only examiners who have themselves passed the colour vision tests are to undertake the local examinations.

(6.) The fee paid for examination for a Certificate of Com- petency includes the fee of fifty cents for examination in form vision, colour vision, colour ignorance and lantern tests, and if the Candidate fails to pass these tests, this fee will, with the exception of fifty cents, be returned to him.

(7.) No additional fee will be charged to any candidate referred by the local examiner for special examination or for the special examination allowed to a candidate who appeals against failure locally. If, however, a candidate, who has been reported by the special examiners as having failed, is still dissatisfied, it will be open to him, if he so desires, to present himself for a second special examination on payment of a fee of 5 guineas, provided that he brings with him a friend to witness the examination. This second examination will, however, be entirely voluntary and will form no part of the Board's examination for a certificate of competency. The Board of Trade will, however, give consideration to the result of such examination in determining whether a certificate shall be granted.

24. The sight tests are open to all persons serving or intending to serve in the Mercantile Marine, and all such persons are recommended to take the earliest opportunity of ascertaining, whether their vision is such as to qualify them for service in that profession. Any such person, if desirous of undergoing the tests, must make application to the Harbour Master and pay a fee of 50

cents.

This fee will be payable on each occasion on which a candidate is examined.

It shall be open to any officer holding or candidate for a Semaphore Certificate of Competency as Master or Mate to undergo an Signalling. examination in practical proficiency in the Semaphore and Morse systems of signalling. And should the candidate pass this examination, the fact, with the date and place of passing shall be recorded on his Certificate of Competency.

The standard of efficiency in signalling required from Candi- dates for the voluntary examination in signalling after 1st July, 1908, will be as follows:-

Candidates must be capable of sending and reading signals made by

(2.) Morse, flashing and flag-waving, at a rate of 6 words per minute (the average length of a word to be calculated at 5 letters).

The Semaphore test will be a prose message of about 50 words.

The Morse, flashing and flag-waving, test will be a test mes- sage (see the British Signal Manual), followed by a prose message of about 25 words.

The Candidate must attain a degree of accuracy of at least 90 per cent. in reading both Semaphore and Morse signals.

Each Candidate will be orally examined as to his knowledge of the International Signal Book and the British Signal Manual. With regard to the latter special attention will be paid to the prescribed procedure of signalling, both by day and night, between H.M. ships and the Mercantile Marine.

A Signalling Certificate issued by a recognized Naval Signal- ling School will be accepted in lieu of this examination.

26. With reference to the latter portion of paragraph 95 which Service in exempts applicants, in certain special cases, from the requirement vessels. that Officers' Service must be performed with the requisite Certifi- cate, it is to be clearly understood that this exemption does not apply to Foreign Officers serving in foreign vessels.

Foreign Officers who may be desirous of obtaining British Certificates of Competency in the Mercantile Marine will be required to comply strictly, whatever may be their rank in the Mercantile Marine of their own country, with the requirements of the first part of paragraph 96, viz., they must have performed their Officer's Service with the requisite British Certificate.

This service, however, may have been performed in foreign vessels, provided that the applicant can produce satisfactory testimonials as to conduct and character, and is able to prove that the service has been in the required capacities, and that during such service he has held a British Certificate of Competency of the rank required by the Regulations.

If he passes, the report (Exn. 14) will be sent to the Chief Examiner of Engineers, and the certificate together with the Form Exn. 2. will be sent to the Registrar-General of Seamen; the words "Certified to have passed in Steam," with the date and place of examination will then be entered on the certificate and its counterpart, and the certificate will be sent to the Harbour Master of the port named in the Form Exn. 2 and be delivered to the Candidate in the usual manner.

72. If a Candidate fails he may not present himself for re-examination until the expiration of three months from the date of failure.

73. The examination is for the most part vivâ voce, and extends to a general knowledge of the practical use and working of the steam engine, and of the various valves, fittings, and pieces of machinery connected with it; and of the way in which electric lighting is carried out on board ship. Intricate theoretical ques- tions on calculation of horsepower or areas of cylinders and. valves, or any of the more difficult questions relating to stearn engines and boilers, will not be asked. The examination will in fact be confined to the duties which a Master of a steam vessel may be called upon to perform in the case of the death, incapacity, or delinquency of the engineer.

74. Examiners are to satisfy themselves that the candidates know the names and understand the uses of the various parts of engines and boilers, and their connecting pipes, valves, cocks, &c. Practical knowledge, as distinguished from theories and abstruse calculations, is to be the test of the candidate's fitness to have his certificate endorsed.

81. There is nothing in the regulations requiring that appli- cants for the voluntary examination shall have served on board steamships; all that is required is that they shall have a practical knowledge of the use and working of the steam engine. Examiners will not fail to appreciate the fact that practical knowledge is best gained in the engine room; and the examination of an officer who does not produce official evidence of service in steamship, and of experience of engines, must necessarily be more searching than in the case of one who produces evidence of such service and experience.

The certificates of discharge for service in the foreign trade will generally be accepted as proof of sea service, but certificates of discharge for service in the home or coasting trade will require additional verification. Superintendents and examiners will be careful to see that these discharges have not been in any way tampered with, and will any suspicious cases to the Registrar-General of Seamen.

87. For all certificates of competency as Master or Mate in the Mercantile Marine, the qualifying service usually required is service performed in ordinary trading vessels. While the Regula- tions provide for the acceptance in part of certain kinds of non-trading service (e.g., that performed in fishing-boats, yachts, pilot vessels, &c.), non-trading service not specially provided for in the Regulations cannot be accepted as qualifying service unless it has been submitted to the Board of Trade and their sanction obtained.

95. Officer's service, to be recognized as qualifying for purposes Officer's of examination, must be performed with the requisite Certificate as specified in Appendix B. The Officer's service performed by men who have been duly promoted during the course of a voyage.

96. Foreign Officers who wish to apply for British Certificates Foreign of Competency must in all cases have performed their qualifying Officer's service with the requisite British Certificates. The ser- vice may have been performed in foreign vessels if the Candidate can produce satisfactory testimonials as to conduct and character, and is able to prove that the service has been in the required capacities, and that during the period of service he has held a British Certificate of Competency of the rank required by the Regulations (see para. 100).

97. When service in charge of a watch in either the foreign or home trade is specified in the Regulations, Candidates for Certifi- cates of Competency as First Mate must be able to prove that during 8 months at least of their service they have kept full regular watch during the whole voyage, i.e., from port to port, which, if in the foreign trade, must amount to not less than 8 hours of each 24 hours' service. Where a Candidate can prove 8 months of such full service, service performed in cases where watches were doubled at any time during the voyage will be accepted as equivalent to half the same period of full watch-keeping service. No amount of occasional service will, by itself, be accepted as qualifying service. Candidates for Certificates of Competency as Master will be required to have served during the whole of the time specified by the Regulations, in full charge of a watch, and no service performed under the system of double watches except as the senior officer will be accepted as qualifying service for a certificate of this grade. Great care must be exercised by the examiners and others in regard to such service, and unless the Candidates produce a clear and satisfactory testimonial specially setting forth the above facts, from the Master or Owner of the vessel in which the service was performed, it must not be accepted.

98. Service as additional or auxiliary First or Second Mates, in large foreign-going vessels, when, in both cases, Third and Fourth Mates are also carried, will count as First Mate's or Second Mate's service, as the case may be, provided that the Candidate was entered on the Articles in one of these capacities, and that he produces the necessary certificate (see para. 97) showing that he was in charge of a watch or watches during the whole time claimed.

99. Whenever a man has, from any cause, been regularly promoted on the occurrence of a vacancy in the course of the voyage from the rank in which he first shipped, and such promotion, with the grounds on which it has been made, is properly entered in the Articles and the Official Log Book, he will receive credit for his service in the higher grade for the period sub- sequent to his promotion.

100. The testimonials of service of foreigners and of British Officers and seamen serving in foreign vessels, which cannot be verified, must be confirmed either by the Consul of the country to which the ship in which the Candidate served belonged or by some other recognised official authority of that country, or by the testimony of some credible person on the spot having personal knowledge of the facts required to be established. The production, however, of such proofs will not of necessity be deemed sufficient. Each case will be decided on its own merits, and if the sufficiency of the proof given appears to be at all doubtful, it will be referred to the Governor.

103. Candidates whose service has been performed in capacities other than apprentice, midshipman, cadet, ordinary sea- men, or able seaman-e.g., men who have served as carpenter, or sailmaker, or as cook in small vessels where cooking is only a part of a man's duty-will be required to satisfy the Harbour Master that they have during the whole time claimed performed deck duties in addition to their own particular work, and they have a good knowledge of seamanship. These facts may possibly be proved by the production of satisfactory certificates from the Masters with whom the applicants have served; but such service will only be accepted as equivalent to two thirds of the time served as ordinary deck hand. Failing satisfactory evidence, the applicant will be required to perform additional service in the capacity of seaman. Service as cook (under other conditions than the above) or as steward, or as purser, will not be accepted.

104. Service performed exclusively in trawlers and other deep- pilot vessels. sea fishing vessels, or in pilot vessels, will not qualify a Candidate for examination. He must in addition prove the following ser-

vice -

(a.) For a foreign-going Certificate, service for at least 18 months in an ordinary trading vessel in the foreign trade, or the equivalent period, 27 months, in the home or coasting trade.

(c.) Service within home trade limits in sailing yachts of 20 tons net register, or in steam yachts of 40 tons gross register, will be accepted towards qualifying a Candidate for a Foreign-going Certificate as equiva- lent to half the same time served in the foreign trade, but no amount of such service shall count as more than two years' service in the foreign trade, and no such service shall count as Officer's service to qualify Candidates for Foreign-going Certificates. (d.) Service within home trade limits in sailing yachts of not less than 20 tons net register, or in steam yachts of not less than 40 tons gross register, will be accepted at the ordinary rate as qualifying service for River Certificates, but Candidates must prove that they have in addition served for at least 12 months in an ordinary trading vessel in the foreign, river, home, or coasting trade.

(e.) Service within home trade limits in sailing yachts of

Service in these steam hoppers will not be accepted as officer's service towards qualifying a Candidate for a Master's Certificate.

109. Service in lightships or in an engine room will not be accepted as sea service.

110. Service performed on rivers, no matter of what size, and service performed within smooth or partially smooth water limits will not be accepted.

Where any doubt whatever exists on this point, the Candidate will be required to produce a certificate from the Master or Owner of the vessel in which the service was performed, before the service can be accepted.

111. Half the time served on board a training ship will be allowed to count as service at sea up to a limit of one year, (i.e., no length of service will be allowed to count as more than one year at sea), provided that the Candidate can produce a certificate from the Committee that he has conducted himself creditably, and passed a good examination in seamanship, so far as it is practised in the training ship, as well as in other matters down to the time of his leaving the ship, but this service will not be regarded as equivalent to service in square-rigged vessels.

112. The whole of the time claimed under indentures of apprenticeship will be accepted as actual sea service to qualify under para. 31 for a Second Mate's Certificate, provided (a) that the indentures have not been cancelled through some fault of the Candidate, but are endorsed by the Owner or Master to whom he was bound to the effect that he has performed his service faithfully during the time he remained as apprentice; and (b) that the Candidate has served at sea four-fifths of the time claimed, that is to say, has not spent more than one-fifth of the time in home ports. In cases where an apprentice is qualified for examination before the expiration of his indentures, e.g., where he has had training ship or other sea service prior to being bound, which, together with his actual time as apprentice, makes up the required four years, or where his indentures are for a period of more than four years, a letter from the Owner or Master will be accepted instead of the endorsement referred to above.

In the event of the Candidate being short of the required four- fifths of the time claimed as apprentice out of the United Kingdom, he will be required to show sufficient additional sea service, either as seaman or junior officer, to make up the four-fifths of the time claimed.

113. The whole of the time served as midshipman or cadet under indentures will also be accepted subject to the same conditions as those laid down for apprentices; and the same will be the case even when not bound by indentures, provided that the service as midshipman or cadet has been continuous, and that on the date of the termination of the period of service claimed in this capacity the Candidate was on Articles of Agreement, and that he is able to comply with the requirements laid down in the matter of serving or making up the four-fifths period at sea during the time claimed.

120. Candidates are required to appear at the examination room punctually at the time appointed.

121. Before commencing the examination, the tables or desks must be cleared of all scraps of paper or books that are not used in the examination, and care should be taken that the Candidates do not bring into the examination room any book or paper.

122. No person will be allowed in the room during the examination, other than those whose duties require them to be pre-

sent.

No instructors will be allowed on the premises.

123. Candidates are prohibited from bringing into the examination room books or papers of any kind whatever. The slightest infringement of this regulation will subject the offender to all the penalties of a failure, and he will not be allowed to present himself for re-examination for a period of three months.

124. No Candidate will be allowed to work out his problems on a slate or on waste paper, or to write on the blotting paper supplied for his use in the examination. Violation of this rule will subject the Candidate to all the penalties of a failure.

A sheet of blotting paper should be issued to each Candidate with the first examination paper, and it must be returned to the examiner when the last paper is completed each day. The examiner will be careful to see that the blotting paper has not been used by the Candidate in solving his problems, or for conveying information to other Candidates.

125. All instruments necessary for use in the examinations are supplied by the Harbour Master.

126. No Candidate may leave the examination room without permission and without giving up the paper on which he is engaged. Under no circumstances will a Candidate be allowed to leave the building while the examination is proceeding. Violation of this rule will subject the Candidate to all the penalties of a failure.

127. Candidates should be so placed as to prevent one copying from the other, and no communication whatever between the Candidates should be allowed.

128. In the event of any Candidate being discovered referring to any book or paper, or copying from another, or affording any assistance or giving any information to another, or communicating in any way with another, during the time of examination, or copying any part of the problems for the purpose of taking them out of the examination rooms, he will subject himself to all the penalties of a failure, and will not be allowed to be examined for a period of six months.

Any Candidate violating any of the regulations, or being Penalty for guilty of insolence to the examiner, or of disorderly or improper rules. conduct in or about the room, will render himself liable to the postponement of his examination, or, if he has passed, to the detention of his Certificate for such period as the Governor may direct.

132. The examination papers should be issued to the Papers to be Candidates in half sheets only and one at a time. This will prevent

a Candidate from spreading out the sheets on the table so as to enable his neighbour to look over the problems. It will also enable the examiner to look over and report upon the work on one half sheet, while the Candidate is at work upon another. When the errors are not too numerous, the incorrect problems may be returned to the Candidate for correction, but in no case should the errors be pointed out by the examiner, neither should any marks be made which would indicate how far or to what extent the work is incorrect. The incorrect problems are not to be returned to the Candidate for correction a second time, and should more than one of the problems or two if the errors are only slight-be still incorrect, this would involve a failure. It must be understood, however, that the day's work, latitude by meridian and ex-meridian altitude of sun and star, chronometer problem by sun and star, and the Sumner problem, must always be correct.

If, from the large number of Candidates, it may some- Extra hour times be found impossible to look over the work on the day certain cases. of examination during the office hours, an hour in the morning of the following day may be allotted for the purpose of correcting the problems, but in no case should a Candidate have his problem returned to him for correction after he has made the second attempt.

134. The examination will commence with not less than Dictation. a quarter of an hour's dictation to test handwriting and spelling. This, however, is only to be given to those Candidates who present themselves for examination for their first Foreign-going Certificate. The spelling must be reasonably and fairly good, and the writing clear and legible. The spelling and writing of all Candidates must be satisfactory, and in cases where there is any doubt about the ability of a Candidate to spell correctly he will be specially tested by dictation.

135. The paper of definitions is only for those Candidates who Definitions. present themselves for examination for their first Foreign-going Certificate. In using this paper, the examiner will place a mark against the questions which he wishes to be answered, not less than ten questions being so selected. The Candidate will then write against the questions so marked his definition of the terms in a clear and legible hand, so as to prevent the possibility of any letter being mistaken and also draw a sketch or diagram opposite to each

of the questions to which he has given written answers, in further illustration of its meaning. Vivâ voce questions will be asked on the answers given.

136. In the questions on the Deviation of the Compass the examiner will mark at least twelve of the questions, including the problems. The selected questions will be varied frequently, and no two Candidates will have precisely the same questions. The Candidate will be furnished with sheets of the blank ruled paper which is supplied for the purpose, with instructions that he is to write only on one side of the paper, and to answer in a clear and legible hand each of the questions against which a mark is placed, and to commence each answer by writing down the number of the question to which it relates in the margin. In answering Question 39 on the tentative method of compass adjustment, the Candidate will be tested by Beall's Compass Deviascope, and it will not there- fore be necessary for him to give the written answer and sketches.

187. The examination on the barometer, thermometer, and hydrometer, prevailing winds and currents of the globe, trade routes, and tides, will for the present be conducted orally, and the questions asked by the examiner, which will be constantly varied, will be confined to and based on the information given in the text books mentioned in Appendix A. Candidates will be required to have a fair and intelligent knowledge of the contents of those books.

138. Particular attention should be paid to the adjustments of the sextant, the examination in which subject will be conducted orally and practically. Every Candidate will be examined prac- tically as to his knowledge of the adjustments and the use of the various screws; he must be able to read correctly off the arc, a supposed index error being given by the examiner as additive, as well as reading on the arc in the usual way; he must also be able to find the index error both by the horizon and by the sun.

139. Candidates will find it more convenient, both during the examination and at sea, to correct the declination and other elements from the Nautical Almanac by the hourly differences given in that work; they will thereby render themselves independent of any proportional or logarithmic table for that purpose.

140. The corrections by inspection of tables given in some of the works on Navigation, e.g., Tables IX., XI., and XXI. in Norie's Epitome, will not be allowed; every correction must appear on the papers of the Candidates.

141. All outstanding or minor corrections should appear in the margin of each problem paper and on the chart papers, and the papers of the Candidate will not be considered complete without these corrections.

142. Examiners should bear in mind that the problems to be solved are required as tests, and for the purposes of an examination, and not for sea-going or practical purposes alone.

143. Candidates will be allowed to work out the various pro- blems according to the method and the tables they have been accustomed to use.

144. All the problems given in the examinations, for the Ordinary Certificates, will be constantly varied; and the mode of stating the times in the astronomical problems, and the mode of wording and setting these and all other problems will be varied in every possible way, so as to ensure that the Candidate has proper knowledge of the subject.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 21, 1913.

145. Candidates are expected not only to give correct written Supplement- answers to the questions set in the papers but also to possess an' ary vivâ voce. intelligent knowledge of the various subjects prescribed in the regulations. The examiner will therefore put a few vivâ voce questions to the Candidate as the papers are brought up for inspection or during the course of the examination. The questions, which will be based on the papers set, will be such that the examiner may satisfy himself that the Candidate possesses a real knowledge of what he has written.

146. When an examiner finds it necessary to fail a Candidate in this supplementary vivâ voce test, a statement to that effect will be made on the Candidate's examination papers before they are forwarded to the Principal Examiner in London.

154. The periods prescribed in the forgoing paragraphs are not intended to include the time occupied by the vivâ voce part of the examination.

155. In the vivâ voce examination a reasonable time should be allowed for the Candidate to give his answers. No assistance should be given or leading question put.

156. It is anticipated that few Candidates will require the whole of the time allowed for completing the examination in navigation, but ample time has been given, so that Candidates may perform their work in a careful, clear, and legible manner, and to the entire satisfaction of the examiners.

157. Candidates, after finishing the problems required in the various grades on the first day of examination, should proceed, until the end of that day, with such subject as the definitions, chart, questions relating to cyclones, and compass deviation.

158. The Sumner problem (Exn. 6c) must on no account be given out to any of the Candidates on the first day of the examination, but should form the commencement of the Candi- dates' work on the second day. On completion of this problem, if included in the lower grade problems, the Candidates for Masters' Certificates should proceed with the problems (a), (b), (c), of the syllabus for that grade.

159. Degree of precision required in the solution of the problems :-

(a.) Candidates are expected to work out their answers to all problems where the answer required is a latitude, longitude or distance within 1 of position from a correct result; in finding the ship's position by Sumner's method a margin of 21 will be allowed. (b.) In such problems as the "Amplitude" and "Alt- Azimuth", where the bearing, deviations, &c., only are required, a margin of 3′ or 4′ from a correct result will be sufficiently accurate.

(c.) Candidates for Ordinary Certificates are not required to correct for second differences in taking out the quantities from the Nautical Almanac.

(d.) In solving the Time Azimuth problems an answer not exceeding half a degree from the exact result will be sufficiently near. But in all cases the actual latitude, declination, and time used, together with the exact bearing from the North or South as given in the tables, must be clearly shown by the Candi- date on his papers.

(e.) In computing the time at which a given star will be on the observer's meridian, and the names of the stars near the meridian (sections (b) and (e) of paragraph 36), an approximation only is required, and it will be sufficiently precise if the Candidate works throughout with the nearest minute of time. In computing the approximate meridian altitude of star (section g) working throughout with the near- est minute of are will also be sufficiently close.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 21, 1913.

(f.) In interpolating for the correct deviation to be applied

in solving the chart question, it will usually be sufficient if the Candidate works throughout with the nearest degree of deviation taken from the deviation card; and even in cases where the deviations may vary but little, the nearest half degree used throughout will be sufficiently precise. It is not necessary that the Candidate should waste his time in solving the course to odd minutes, as is sometimes done.

(g.) In calculating the correction to apply to soundings the Candidate is not required to work to the exact inch, as is sometimes done. It will be sufficient if he brings his answer within half a foot or so of a precise result.

It must be clearly understood in reading the foregoing instruc- tions as to the precision required, that they only apply when the work of the Candidate is correct in principle.
