No. 31.-The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry held on the 7th January, 1931, to enquire into the circumstances attending the stranding of the British Steamship Kutsang, is published for general information.

16th January, 1931.

FINDING.

E. R. HALLIFAX,

Colonial Secretary.

We find that the S.S. Kutsang (Official No. 146223 of Hong Kong) of which Mr. Valentine McClymond Liddell, (Certificate of Competency No. 1764 of Hong Kong) was Master, whilst on a voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong grounded at the Eastern Entrance to the Fu Tau Mun Pass at 8.2 p.m. on December 17th, 1930.

We find that the ship proceeded at 7.12 p.m. from a position about 3' S. 85 E. (true) from Waglan at 10 knots under the personal direction of the Master on a course N. 34 W. true. Owing to the obstruction caused by Fishing Craft it was necessary for the ship to be constantly under helm and at one point had to complete a full turn of 32 points. A further difficulty to navigation was experienced owing to the glare of 'bright light" fishing lights to the Eastward of Taithong Point. The Master appears to have been fully confident of his capabilities, due to many years of local experience, to navigate his ship" by eye from Waglan to Hong Kong. As Taithong Point Light was not sighted by 7.50 p.m. we are of the opinion that the Master should have realised that he was not in the position that he estimated himself to be and should have reduced speed and checked his position by taking a bearing of Waglan Light House. This he failed to do. Further we are of opinion that when Cape Collinson Light House was sighted at 7.55 p.m. a bearing should have been taken. This would have shown at once that the ship was running into danger.

We are therefore of opinion that Mr. Valentine McClymond Liddell, due to not taking any bearings between 7.12 p.m. and 8.1 p.m. stranded his ship by default and we therefore adjudge him to be Severely Reprimanded.

The Court would like to take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of the very straight-forward and honest manner in which Captain Liddell has given his

evidence.

Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hong Kong, this 7th day of January, 1931. ·

And whereas His Majesty in Council is satisfied that the law of the Irish Free State (that is to say, the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Act, 1927, Number 16 of 1927, the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) (Amendment) Act, 1929, Number 13 of 1929, and an Order of the Governor General in Council thereunder entitled the Copyright (United Kingdom and British Dominions) Order, 1930) provides adequate protection for the works (whether published or unpublished) of authors who at the time of the making of the works were British subjects resident in the parts of His Majesty's Dominions to which this Order applies:

It shall however be lawful for the Enumerator, in such cases as the Superintendent of Census shall deem fit, instead of delivering the form to the prescribed person, to retain the form and to fill in on behalf of the prescribed person, the particulars required.

(3) The Enumerator shall, if so requested by any prescribed person or by any person acting on behalf of such prescribed person, give such explanations as to the form of return or the procedure to be followed in making the return as are reasonably necessary to enable the prescribed person to make a proper return.

6. Every person with respect to whom it is the duty of a prescribed person to make a return shall give to the prescribed person such information as he may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling him to make the return:

Provided that no person shall use, publish, or communicate to any other person any information so given otherwise than in accordance with these regulations.

(2) Where such claim and notice have been duly served, the prescribed person to whom notice is given shall not be required to include in his return any particulars with respect to the person claiming other than the name of such person and the relation in which he stands to the prescribed person, and the person so claiming shall be deemed to be the prescribed person with respect to himself and shall, in making his return, state therein the name of the person who but for the claim would have been required to make the return.

8.-(1) The Enumerator shall, as nearly as may be in the course of the day follow- ing the Census Day, collect all forms of return delivered by him and shall examine each return and satisfy himself that the entries thereon are properly and sufficiently made, and shall make all such inquiries as are reasonably necessary for that purpose and shall himself make such corrections in the return as appear to him on inquiry to be required.

(2) Every person shall give the Enumerator all such information as may reasonably be required by him as aforesaid for the completion or correction of any return.

9. The Enumerator shall on receiving each return, enter upon the return such particulars as may be required by the Superintendent of Census to be entered by the Enumerator on the form of return and shall forthwith-

11. The Superintendent of Census may himself give such directions to Enumerators as he may deem necessary for carrying out the duties imposed upon them by these regulations.

13. The Superintendent of Census may, if he thinks fit, require an Enumerator to make a statutory declaration that such Enumerator has properly and sufficiently per- formed the duties imposed on him by these regulations.

14. No person having the custody, whether by himself or on behalf of any other person, of any forms of return, or other confidential documents relating to the Census shall permit any other person without lawful authority to have, or fail to prevent any other person from having, access thereto.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.

Hong Kong.

　　　　　Rules as to the conduct of examinations instituted for persons who wish to procure colonial certificates of competency as engineers in the Mercantile Marine, and as to the qualifications of the applicants, laid down and made by the Governor in Council under section 4 (8) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, Ordinance No. 10 of 1899, on the 18th day of March, 1931.

RULES.

CHAPTER I.

GENERAL RULES.

1. These rules are laid down in pursuance of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, and are supplemental to the rules made by the Governor in Council under section 4 (8) of the said Ordinance and published in the Gazette of the 24th December, 1930, as Government Notification No. 770.

　　　　　2. Examination of Aliens.-No alien may be examined for a certificate of competency as First Class Engineer unless he has acted as Chief Engineer of a British ship at some time during the War, and is certified by the Admiralty to have performed good and faithful service in that capacity.

3. Certificates.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The term "certificate" in these Rules means a certificate issued by the Board of Trade, or by a British Possession under Order in Council in accordance with section 102 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. The holder of a certificate so issued must not be examined in the United Kingdom for a certificate of the grade already held.

Certificates are designated "Ordinary relate to service in steamships or motor ships.

or "Motor", according to whether they

　　　　　4. Value of Certificates.-Ordinary certificates entitle the holders to go to sea, in the grades certified, as Engineers of any steamship in the British Mercantile Marine.

　　　　　5. Examination of Engine Room Artificers.-Artificer Engineers, Chief Engine Room Artificers, Engine Room Artificers, and Mechanicians in the Royal Navy may be examined for certificates of competency on the same conditions as Engineers in the Mercantile Marine.

6. Application by Naval Officers. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have directed that applications from officers of the Royal Navy for permission to be examined for certificates of competency must in the case of officers on the active. list be made through the Commanding Officer to the Secretary to the Admiralty and in the case of officers who are on half pay or who have retired, direct to the Secretary to the Admiralty who in either case will forward the application to the Hong Kong Government.

　　　　　It is not necessary for applications of Chief or other Engine Room Artificers and Mechanicians, who have left the Royal Navy and who desire to be examined for certificates of competency as Engineers in the Mercantile Marine, to be forwarded either through their Commanding Officers or through the Admiralty. Men who are still serving in these ratings in the Royal Navy should make their applications through their Com- manding Officers.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931. 163

Artificer Engineers, however, being Warrant Officers, should make their applications in the same manner as that laid down for other officers of the Royal Navy.

7. Time and Place of Examination.-The times and places at which exam- inations are held are as follows:

Place. Government Marine Surveyor's Office.

Days. Every Tuesday of each week.

N.B.-The examination days are liable to occasional alteration.

8. Application for Examination.- Every applicant for examination must fill up a form of application, and pay the appropriate fee, at the Harbour Office, signing the declaration on the form of application in the presence of the Harbour Master. The form, properly filled in, together with the applicant's certificate of apprenticeship, testimonials, discharges, etc., should be lodged at least three days before the day of examination with the Harbour Office, who will forward these documents to the Examiner of Engineers.

The Examiner is, as a rule, responsible for seeing that the applications are in order and that the applicants' qualifications are sufficient.

9. Inquiries.-Persons wishing to inquire as to their eligibility for examination must fill up application forms, submit their papers, and pay the appropriate fees in the same way as applicants for examination.

10. Proof of Nationality.-Every applicant for a certificate of competency of any grade will be required to produce proof of nationality.

Proof of British nationality will, in ordinary circumstances, involve the production of a birth certificate or of a certificate of naturalisation. If an applicant for examination cannot produce such a certificate he should be asked to furnish such documentary evidence of nationality, or of birth and nationality of parents, as he may be able to obtain.

If the applicant is not a British subject he will as a rule, be able to produce some official document testifying to his nationality. If there is any doubt as to the authen- ticity of such document, the Examiner should consult the Consular Officer of the nation to which the applicant belongs. If necessary, the case should be remitted to the Prin- cipal Examiner for consideration.

11. Age. Should any doubt exist as to the age of an applicant, he will be required. to produce a certificate of birth.

12. Fee Must be Paid.-Applicants for examination, and persons inquiring as to their eligibility for examination, will be required to pay the examination fee before any step is taken towards inquiring into their services or testing their qualifications, etc. If any applicant is found not to be qualified, the fee will either be returned to him or placed to his credit until he is qualified.

13. Payment of Fees, and Penalty for Offering Gratuity.-The fee for examination must be paid at the Harbour Office. If an applicant offers a gratuity to any servant of the Department, he will be regarded as having committed an act of miscon- duct, and will not be allowed to be examined for twelve months.

14. Table of Fees.-The following fees, respectively, are payable on each occasion on which an applicant presents himself for examination, either for a certificate of competency as Engineer, or for the endorsement of a certificate:-

15. Fees not Returned on Failure.-If a candidate fails in his examination, no part of the fee he has paid will be returned to him.

16. Sea Service Must be Verified.-Service which cannot be verified by pro- per entries in the articles of agreement of the ships in which the applicants have served cannot be counted. In all cases the applicants' names must have been duly entered on the ship's Articles as Engineers in their proper ranks.

As discharges and testimonials may have to be forwarded to the Registrar General of Seamen for verification, it is desirable that they should be handed in, together with the form of application, as many days as possible before the date of examination at which the applicant desires to attend. In the absence of the necessary verification the applicant cannot be examined.

When certificates of discharge in the home or other trade which have not been officially issued at a Mercantile Marine Office are produced as evidence of any part of an applicant's qualifying service, they should be submitted by the Examiner to the Registrar General of Seamen for verification.

17. Service in Foreign Vessels -The testimonials of service of Engineers serving in foreign vessels, which cannot be verified by the Registrar-General of Seamen, must be confirmed either by the Consul of the country to which the ship in which the applicant 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 must be decided on its merits; and if the sufficiency of the proofs given appears to be at all doubtful, the point must be referred to the Chief Examiner.

18. Calculation of Service. -The applicant's service, as shown on his discharges, should be reckoned by the calendar month, i.e., the time included between any given day in any month and the preceding day of the following month, both inclusive. The number of complete months from the commencement of the period, ascertained in this way, should be computed, after which the number of odd days should be counted. The day on which the agreement commences as well as that on which it terminates should both be included and all odd days should be added together and reckoned at 30 to the month.

19. Gaps in Service.-The Examiner should be particularly careful to ascertain that there are no gaps in the applicant's service during which his conduct is not pro- perly accounted for, before he is allowed up for examination.

20. Testimonials; Workshop Service. --All applicants will be required to produce, in addition to the official discharge certificates, testimonials as to their workshop service and as to their service at sea. The testimonials as to workshop service must be signed by the employer, and must testify to the applicant's conduct and ability, and state what kind of work, he was engaged on (e.g. fitting, erecting, turning, machine work, etc.), and for how long. (See rule 35.)

21. Testimonials; Sea Service.-Every applicant should produce testimonials in respect of the qualifying period of his service signed, in each case, by the Chief Engineer under whom his service has been performed, stating his actual rank on watch, the number of engineers simultaneously on watch on the main propelling machinery, and the nature of the duties performed by him. When the applicant is a Chief Engineer he should produce testimonials signed by the Engineer Superintendent, or by the Managing Owner, or Secretary of the Company. It is desirable that the whole of the

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931. 165

applicant's sea service should be covered by testimonials certifying to his sobriety, ex- perience, ability, and general good conduct, but testimonials will be required for at least the last 18 months at sea preceding the date of the application to be examined.

　　　　It is desirable that testimonials signed by Chief Engineers be endorsed by the Master or by the Engineer Superintendent; testimonials signed only by the company's Superintendent or other officials should not, as a rule, be regarded as sufficient.

　　　　If, in any case, testimonials appear to have been withheld for improper or inade- quate reasons, full particulars should be reported by the Examiner to the Chief Ex-

aminer.

22. Physical Defects. When an applicant is observed to be hard of hear- ing, or is labouring under any other obvious physical defect, the signatories of his testi- monials are required to mention that defect specifically, and to state whether it in any way interfered with the efficiency of the applicant as an engineer on watch. When these modified testimonials are such as completely to satisfy the Examiner that the defect is not such as to interfere with the efficient discharge of the applicant's duties as engineer, the examination is proceeded with; otherwise the case is referred to the Chief Examiner.

　　　　23. Penalty for Misconduct.-Applicants who have neglected to join their vessels after having signed Articles, or who have deserted their vessels after having joined, or who have been found guilty of gross misconduct, will be required to produce satisfactory proofs of two years' subsequent service and good conduct at sea, unless the Governor after having investigated the matter, should see fit to reduce the time.

　　　　24. Foreign Engineers. -A foreign engineer cannot be examined for a First Class Certificate unless he has performed the sea-service stated in rule 31 with the re- quisite British Certificate. Service performed in foreign vessels may be accepted if 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 the period of service he has held a British Certificate of Competency of the grade required by the Rules (See rule 17).

　　　　25. Knowledge of English essential.-All candidates, including foreigners. and British subjects of foreign extraction, must prove to the satisfaction of the Ex- aminers that they can speak and write the English language sufficiently well to perform the duties required of them on board a British vessel.

　　　　26. Issue of Certificate.-If the candidate passes he will receive a certificate signed by the Governor. The candidate's testimonials and other papers will be returned to him when the examination is finished.

27. Service found to be Insufficient. -If, after a candidate has passed the examination, it is discovered on further investigation that his services are insufficient to entitle him to receive a certificate of the grade for which he has passed the certificate will not be granted to him; but if the Governor is satisfied that the error in the calcul- ation of the candidate's services did not occur through any fault or wilful misrepresent- ation on his part, he may either have the fee returned to him or have it placed to his credit. Should his services entitle him to a certificate of a lower grade it may be granted to him, and the difference, if any, between the fee paid by him for the superior certificate, and the fee payable for the inferior certificate will be returned to him or placed to his credit. 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 Governor sees fit to dispense with the re-examination.

28. Copy of Lost Certificate.-An applicant for a certified copy of a lost certificate of competency must fill in a form of application giving the particulars required, and hand it to the Harbour Master. A declaration as to the circumstances in which the certificate was lost must be made by the applicant before the Harbour Master. The Harbour Master will then transmit the form of application to the Registrar-General of Seamen, who will state thereon whether a fee is to be charged or not, and will forward a certified copy of the lost certificate for delivery to the applicaut.

166

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931.

No fee will be charged if the applicant can prove that the certificate was lost through shipwreck or fire.

(f) to be thoroughly conversant with the principles and practice of surface con- densation, superheating, and the working of steam expansively, and with the economical and efficient use of coal and oil fuel.

33. First Class Certificates without Second.-The Government may see fit to allow an applicant who has had no opportunity to obtain a Second Class Certificate, either Imperial or Colonial, to be examined for a First Class Ordinary certificate although he does not possess a Certificate of the lower grade, provided he is able to satisfy them as to the satisfactory character of his services; but these must be ample both as regards length and experience. As a rule, at least 4 years' sea service, a fair proportion of which must have been in a responsible capacity, and qualifying for a First Class. Certificate, will be required.

　　　　If any such candidate fails to pass the examination for the First Class Certificate, but passes that for the lower grade, he may be given a Second Class Certificate of Com- petency, but no part of the fee will be returned. If he fails in practical knowledge, he may be re-examined for a Second Class Certificate only, subject to the usual regulations. relating to such failures.

34. Endorsement of Certificates.-The holder of a Motor Certificate may have it endorsed for service in steamships provided that he proves at least 12 months" service in foregin trade or 18 months in the home trade in a qualifying capacity in steamships of horse-power not less than that required by these Rules and passes the appropriate examination.

35. Workshop Service. -- A candidate is expected to have served not less than four years as apprentice Engineer or journeyman, at the making or repairing of steam or internal combustion engines such as would be recognised as affording useful training for a marine engineer. No time served before the age of 15 will be accepted.

Not less than two years of this period should have been devoted to fitting, erecting or repairing engines of suitable size, either in the works or outside, and the remaining two years may have been spent (1) on work of this nature; (2) on work in other branches of the trade, subject to the time allowances specified in the schedule below; (3) at an ap- proved technical school, subject to the conditions specified in rule 38.

SCHEDULE OF TIME ALLOWANCES in respect of workshop service, other than fitting, erecting or repairing, but performed in connection with engines of the nature indicated above. Total maximum allowance two years.

In the event of the apprenticeship time being extended to five years or more, four years at turning followed by one year at fitting or erecting may be accepted as qualify- ing.

This rule applies only to works at which the making and/or repairing of engines, boilers, etc., forms part of the regular business for which the works exist. Service at works where the repairing of engines, boilers, etc., is merely incidental to the running of plant, however large, which is used for the production of power for other machinery, etc., should be dealt with under rule 36, each case being considered on its merits.

36. Workshop Service where Engines of Suitable Size are not Made or Repaired.-Workshop service other than that mentioned in rule 35 may be accept- ed if it is considered useful training for a sea-going Engineer, but each case must be submitted to the Chief Examiner for consideration before the applicant is examined. For every 12 months of such service accepted, the applicant must have performed at least an additional three months' service on marine engines (steam or motor), either in the works, or at sea on regular watch on the main propelling machinery or on day work; and a longer additional period may be required if the deficient character of the service. warrants further compensation.

37. Service in Colonial and Foreign Workshops. Rules 35 and 36 apply to service in the United Kingdom only. Service in a Colonial or foreign workshop will not be accepted unless the Examiner is satisfied in each case that its value is sub- stantially equivalent to that of service performed in the United Kingdom. In cases where the Examiner is not satisfied that the value is equivalent, he should refer the matter to the Chief Examiner.

Workshop service in India is in no case to be taken as equivalent to more than four- fifths of the same period of service in the United Kingdom.

38. Technical Schools.-Time spent at an approved day Technical School, where there is an engineering laboratory, is, subject to the conditions mentioned in Ap- pendix A, accepted as equivalent to workshop service, usually in the ratio of three years in the Technical School to two years' workshop service, provided also that the applicant has taken the full engineering course, and can produce the Principal's certificate for regular attendance at all the approved classes, and for satisfactory progress.

Time spent in attending evening classes in Engineering at approved Technical Schools will similarly be allowed to count under the following conditions:-

(1) each applicant claiming an allowance for time spent in attending evening classes at a Technical School must produce a certificate signed by the Principal of the School to the effect that he has attended regularly at a definite class or classes, which should be specified, and has made satis- factory progress. This certificate must also state the total number of hours spent by the applicant in attending each class:

170

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931.

(2) time spent by the applicant in attending such classes as have a direct bear- ing on the training of a Marine Engineer will be reckoned at the rate of five hours to one day. The total number of days so obtained will then be accepted in lieu of a certain fraction of the same period of workshop service This fraction will be fixed for each school at the time of approval, and will generally be two-thirds:

(3) an applicant who has attended a Technical School in the evening, white being employed as an apprentice Engineer or journeyman during the day, must, in order that the school time may be accepted, produce satis- factory proof that he has spent the full working day in the works at which he is employed before attending the School. Such proof will usually take the form of a statement in the testimonial as to workshop service given by the employer.

Time spent in foreign technical schools can in no circumstances be recognised.

For list of approved technical schools and time allowed for attendance at each See Appendix A.

39. Sea-service.-The sea-service required by these Rules is, unless other- wise stated, service performed in foreign-going ships propelled by engines of at least the horse-power specified for the respective grades of Certificate. The nominal horse-power of a steamship, as given on the Certificate of Registry, may in all cases be accepted by the Examiners; or it may be determined by the following formula:--

N.H.P.

(3H+D2 V ̈ ̄ ̄ ̄S) V P 700

where H

heating surface of main boilers in square feet, measured down to the level of

the fire bars, but excluding the front tube plate.

square of diameter of low pressure cylinder, or sum of squares of diameters

of cylinders in non-compound engines, measured in inches.

length of stroke of engines in inches.

presure of main boilers in pounds per square inch.

Service in the home or coasting trade is regarded as being equivalent to two-thirds of the same period of time served in foreign-going vessels except where other allowances are specified.

Service in ships trading entirely abroad will be accepted as equivalent to service in foreign-going ships, provided that the distance between the extreme ports visited during the course of the voyage is at least 500 miles. If the distance is less than 500 miles, the service will only be accepted as equivalent to service in the home trade.

"Service on regular watch means officers' watch keeping service on main propel- ling machinery for at least eight hours each day. In no case may time spent on clerical work or on fitting or overhauling machinery, either on regular watch or on day work, be regarded as qualifying watch keeping service.

In the case of applicants for Second Class Ordinary Certificates, service to qualify must be ou the main engines and boilers, not less than six months being spent on each of these two sections, if the service is not performed simultaneously on both.

In the case of applicants for First Class Certificates, qualifying service means, as a rule, service as senior engineer in charge of the entire watch on the main propelling machinery but service in charge of a boiler room only may be regarded as qualifying up to a maximum of 12 months. Service as a second in seniority in the engine room of a vessel propelled by two or more sets of engines may also be accepted, and this without restriction; but service in the engine room as assistant engineer below this rank may only be accepted at half the actual time value. Service to qualify must have been per- formed while in possession of a Second Class Certificate, except in the case for which provision is made in rule 33. Candidates who qualify by service as second in seniority. in the engine room or as assistant engineer below this rank will be subjected to a some- what more searching examination than those who have performed the required amount of service while in charge of a full watch.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931. 171

40. Marine Technical Schools. An applicant for either a Second Class or a First Class Ordinary Certificate who, within two years from the date of application to be examined, has attended an approved course, comprising general mathematical and scientific instruction, at a Technical School recognised by the Government as suitable for the training of Marine Engineers, will be allowed to count time so spent as equivalent to sea service usually in the ratio of three months at the Technical School to two months at Time so spent cannot be accepted as equivalent to more than one-sixth of the total sea service required for either certificate, but an applicant who has been allowed to count such time on examination for a Second Class Certificate will not be debarred from count- ing similar subsequent time on applying for examination for a First Class Certificate.

sea.

In every case in which an allowance is made for time spent at a Marine Technical School, the applicant will be required to produce the Principal's Certificate for continuous and regular attendance at all the approved classes, and for satisfactory progress.

The applicant must also produce his class note books, in order that The Examiner may satisfy himself that the applicant has followed the approved course of instruction, and that the remission of sea service claimed may be allowed accordingly.

Applicants for examination who claim remission of sea service should as a rule, make their claim on Form Exu. 3 at least three days before they desire to sit.

A list of the Marine Technical Schools recognised for this purpose is given in Appendix A.

41. Lake or River Service. --Service as watch-keeper on a lake or river vessel of not less than the required horse-power may be accepted under the following conditions for an Ordinary Certificate:

(a) the service will only count half as much as sea service; i.e., every two months of lake or river service is only equivalent to one month's foreign- going sea service:

(b) applicants for Second Class Certificates must prove that, in addition to lake or river service, they have had at least three months' qualifying service at sea in a foreign-going ship of not less than the horse-power specified in rule 29 (b), or four and a half months' similar service in the home trade; (c) applicants for First Class Certificates, in addition to lake or river service in vessels of not less than the horse-power named in rule 31, must prove that they have had at least six months' qualifying service at sea, with a Second Class Engineer's Certificate, in foreign-going vessels of not less than the horse-power specified, or nine months' similar service in the home trade.

42. Service in Cable Ships-A candidate for examination, a part of whose qualifying service has been performed in cable ships, will be required to produce, in addition to the usual evidence of sea service, a statement or certificate from the owners of the vessel showing the amount of time actually spent at sea. If the time so spent constitutes or exceeds two-thirds of the total time on articles, this total time may be accepted in full as qualifying service, but in the event of the actual sea service falling below this proportion, the deficiency must be made up by additional service at sea before the total time on articles can be accepted in full as qualifying service.

43 Service in Auxiliary Screw Ships.-Service as Engineer performed on board auxiliary screw whalers and other vessels with auxiliary power not less than that required for a Second Class Certificate may be allowed to count as qualifying for ex- amination for a Second Class Engineer's Certificate to the extent of one-half the time the vessel is actually at sea. If the applicant is able to prove that the main engines were running for longer than this, he will be allowed to count the whole of such extended time.

44. Service in Dredgers, Fishing-boats, Tug-boats, or Pilot-vessels.- Service in sea-going dredgers, fishing-boats, or tug-boats, and in pilot-vessels when on their station or when going to or returning from the same, may be accepted under the

172 THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931.

　　　following conditions:-Two months of such service is only equivalent to one month's qualifying service in a foreign-going vessel. Applicants for Second Class Certificates may perform all their sea service in sea-going dredgers, fishing-boats, tug-boats, or pilot- vessels, but they must have been on regular watch on the main propelling machinery, the horse-power of which must not be less than that required. Candidates for First Class Certificates must, while in possession of a Second Class Certificate, have served in vessels of at least the horsepower named in rule 31, and have been in charge of the whole of a watch on the main machinery. They must also have served, in a qualifying cap- acity, for not less than six months in a foreign-going ship, or nine months in a home- trade ship.

Where an Engineer is employed on a fishing or other vessel, and is required to do stoking or other work not usually performed by an Engineer in the Mercantile Marine, such service cannot be accepted as qualifying.

The Examiners should in all cases satisfy themselves that service ou fishing boats, when claimed as qualifying for a certificate as Engineer, is of a nature similar to that performed by Engineers in the Mercantile Marine.

　　　　　45. Service in Yachts. Service performed in yachts, either within or beyond home-trade limits, may be accepted as equivalent to two-thirds of the time performed in foreign-going trading vessels, provided that the applicant's name is entered on the vessels' Articles, and that he can prove, to the satisfaction of the Examiner, that the time claimed was actually served at sea

　　　　　Applicants for Second Class Certificates may perform all their service in yachts, but the applicants must have been on regular watch on the main machinery, and the vessels must be of not less than the horse-power stated in rule 29 (b).

　　　　　Applicants for First Class Certificates must have served in vessels of the requisite horse-power, and must have been in regular charge of the main machinery. They must also have served for at least three months in a qualifying capacity on board a suitable foreign-going ship. This additional service will, however, not be required in the case of an applicant who has served for 27 months as First Engineer, or for 3 years as a Second Engineer, of a yacht of the requisite power.

CHAPTER III.

CONDUCT OF THE EXAMINATIONS.

Tables to be Cleared.-Before commencing the examination, the tables and desks must be cleared of all scraps of paper, or books that are not used in the ex- amination, and care should be taken that the candidates while in the examination room do not have in their possession any book or paper, except as specified in rules 53 and 54. A sheet of blotting paper will 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 Examimer should 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 candi- dates.

II. Perfect silence must be observed during the examination.

　　　　III. Candidates are advised to read the questions carefully, and to confine their attention to the problems as presented, without dealing with extraneous matter.

This advice is applicable to all parts of the examination, but especially to the Drawing.

　　　　IV. The numbers of the questions to which the working has reference should be clearly indicated, but the questions themselves should not be copied. All work should be done in ink, except as specified on the subject-paper for Drawing.

•

174

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931.

V. Suitable recognition will be given for clear statements, reasoning and calcula- tions in solving the problems.

VI. Candidates may be required to write a report, or letter, in which English com- position and legible hand-writing will be taken into account; and bad grammar, faulty spelling and errors of punctuation will be discredited.

VII. Additional sheets of paper will be provided by the Examiner, if required. Only one side should be used, and the candidate should sign his name, and write the port and date, at the foot of each sheet. These particulars should also be given on the cover of each answer-book and on each sheet of drawing paper used.

VIII. Reference to the mathematical tables provided for the purpose is allowed, except in respect of questions which distinctly state that such reference is not per- missible.

IX. Candidates may, if they wish, use slide-rules for checking their calculations, but in each case the full working necessary for arriving at the result must be shown in ink, otherwise no significance will be attached to the answer.

X. The question papers and mathematical tables, which are the property of the Government, must not be written upon or defaced in any way.

XI. No candidate may leave his seat or the examination room without permission; and if he leaves the room he will not be permitted to go on with any sheet or problem which he had in hand before leaving the room.

XII. Candidates must not communicate with each other or use any unfair means.

XIII. A candidate guilty of any breach of these rules will be subjected to all the penalties of failure, and may be excluded from further examination for such period as the Governor may decide.

54. Mathematical Tables (Rule VIII.). --All candidates for examination may use the books of mathematical tables provided, and the Examiner will be careful to observe that they are not used to conceal memoranda prepared for these examinations. No other books will be allowed unless the question set specially states that a book may be referred to.

55. Leaving Examination Room (Rule XI).-In the event of a candidate being permitted to leave the room, the Examiner should substitute other questions for those which have not been attempted.

56. Penalty for Breach of Rules (Rule XIII).-The circumstances attending any breach of the Rules or Regulations, or any disorderly or improper conduct in or about the examination room, should be reported immediately to the Chief Examiner, who will in due course advise the Examiner as to any penalty the Government may decide to inflict.

57. Marking Worked Papers.-The value of the work done in all four sections of the First and Second Class examinations (Practical Mathematics, Drawing, Engineer- ing Knowledge, Verbals) will be assessed and recorded in accordance with the following scale :-

Marks 0 50

49-Weak, denoted by symbol W.

59 Consider

60- 74-Good

75-100-Superior

In order to pass, candidate's work should be "Good" in all four sections, but it must be "Good or "Superior" in Verbals. A "Consider" in either the Practical Mathematics, Drawing or Engineering. Knowledge paper may be counterbalanced by a Superior" in any of the other sections. Two "Considers" or one "Weak" will entail failure.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 27, 1931. 175

58. Verbals.-The Examiner should deal with practical, rather than theoretical, questions in this division of the examination, and no candidate should be failed in the verbal examination without having been well cross-questioned on the points on which failure takes place.

Questions on the management of engines and boilers at sea, the duties of the super- vising Engineer, the work to be done to the engines, boilers and auxiliary machinery in port, and the periodical examinations of the working parts, should form part of the verbal examination.

It is considered of great importance that candidates for examination should have an extensive knowledge of the particulars of actual casualties which have occurred at sea, and be able to state how these might have been prevented, and how they were remedied.

Should a candidate have had no personal experience of any defects, and be unable to describe casualties to machinery which may have occurred in the experience of others, he should be closely questioned as to his knowledge of boiler and engine construction and repair.

As it is possible for a candidate to obtain pass marks in Practical Mathematics, al- though apparently unable to calculate horse-power from indicator diagrams, strength of boiler seams, etc., and, further, as a drawing may be passed as such although containing faults of a practical description, Examiners should, as far as practicable, scrutinise the worked papers, and in each candidate's verbal examination include questions on such practical deficiencies as may appear in his papers.

59. Examination Results. The results of examinations should be communic- ated to all candidates.

60. Voluntary Retirement to be discouraged.-Voluntary retirement from any examination should be discouraged. Each First and Second Class candidate should be taken through the whole examination,. at least on first presenting himself, in order that his ability in all four sections of the examination may be ascertained and recorded.

61. Failure in Examination. Failure in subjects ignorance of which might lead an Engineer to do something actually unsafe in the management of any part of a ship's machinery (e.g., questions on manipulation and reading of the water-gauge, the danger of fire and explosion in motor vessels, etc.), will be regarded as failure in practical knowledge, and any candidate so failing may not present himself for re-examination until be can produce proofs of six months' further service at sea in a qualifying capacity, as Engineer on watch on the main engines or boilers of a foreign-going ship, or its equivalent in the home trade (nine months), subsequent to the date of failure.

Should a candidate fail through ignorance of fundamental principles, or on account of general defectiveness throughout the examination, he should not be re-examined for any certificate until after a lapse of six months. In such a case, if the candidate's defi- ciencies indicate the necessity for further study rather than practical experience, he need not be required to perform additional sea service.

In ordinary cases of failure, the candidate may present himself for re-examination at any time, but if he fails three times in any part or parts of the examination within any period of three months, he will not be re-examined until after a lapse of three months from the date of the last failure.

In any cases of failure the re-examination must embrace all the subjects.

QUESTIONS.

4. The Hon. Mr. J. P. BRAGA, pursuant to notice, asked the following question

"Will the Honourable the Colonial Secretary state whether any reduction is contemplated this summer in the facilities usually afforded to residents in Hong Kong and at Kowloon in the matter of public bathing beaches?"

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:-

The use made of the public bathing beaches in Kowloon has decreased so much in the last year or two that no provision was made for this purpose in the Estimates for 1931. The principal reasons for the decrease appear to be the growth of bathing clubs and the provision by caterers of dressing accommodation with facilities for teas and refreshments. As concerns Tai Wan beach, this section of foreshore is now the subject of sale negotiations and is not, therefore, in any case, available. No public matsheds will be erected there or at Laichikok.

On the island it is proposed, for the same reason, to give up the public bathing sheds at Repulse Bay and at North Point, and to erect only smaller accommodation at Kennedy Town, where there is still some demand. The beach at Repulse Bay will continue to be kept clean and precautions, as before, will be taken for the protection of bathers.

5. The Hon. Mr. J. P. BRAGA, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions:-

1. Has the attention of Government been drawn to the newspaper report of a serious motor-car accident happening at Kowloon on the night of 23rd March at a point in Waterloo Road close to its junction with Nathan Road, where the road is described as "extremely narrow and not parti- cularly well lighted at night"?

2. With a view to minimising the risk of similar accidents in future, will the Government consider the advisability of improving the public light- ing of roadways within the residential areas in Kowloon ?

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 8, 1931.

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:--

1. The answer to the first question is in the affirmative.

259

2. With regard to the second, the Government considers that the residential areas of Kowloon are adequately lighted. The portion of Waterloo Road in which the accident occurred is not yet completed and, as an uncompleted road, motorists should use it with caution. The covering of the nullah is being extended eastwards as rapidly as funds permit, and in due course the roadway will be opened to the full width now possessed by the section going to the east of the railway.

1. The total in any bill of costs of fees of a solicitor (as distinct from payments) in respect of business done in any cause or matter in the Supreme Court on and after the 1st day of June, 1931, shall be increased by 50%, and such increase shall be allowed upon any taxation of costs in respect of any such business as well between party and party as between solicitor and client, and shall apply to the bills of costs of the Crown Solicitor or Assistant Crown Solicitor.

　　　　　2. In the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction this rule shall not, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, apply to an action where the claim does not exceed $500, nor, save as aforesaid, shall it apply, as regards a plaintiff's bill of costs, to an action where the amount recovered does not exceed $500.

3. This rule shall apply to all references to arbitration.

4. The increase hereby authorised shall not affect the question whether a bill of costs when taxed is or is not less by one-sixth part than the bill delivered sent or left.

5. This rule shall not apply to bills of costs which have prior to the date on which this rule comes into operation already been delivered to the client sought to be charged therewith or to the person chargeable therewith or liable therefor or to bills then already taxed and certified or allowed.

6. The rule dated the 14th day of June, 1921, which was approved by the Legisla- tive Council on the 23rd day of June, 1921, and was published in the Gazette of the 24th June, 1921, and which appears on pages 103 and 104 of the Regulations of Hong Kong, 1844-1925, is hereby revoked in respect of business done after the 31st day of May, 1931, except as regards those bills of costs which are excluded from the operation of this rule by paragraph 5 hereof.

No. 443.

　　　　Regulations made by the Governor in Council under section 6 (1) of the Places of Public Entertainment Regulation Ordinance, 1919, Ordinance No. 22 of 1919, on the 9th day of July, 1931.

　　　　The Regulations made by the Governor in Council under the Places of Public Entertainment Regulation Ordinance, 1919, set forth on pages 769-785 of the Regulations of Hong Kong, 1844-1925, are hereby amended as follows:-

(1) by the deletion of the heading "Special fire precautions at cinematograph displays", and of regulation 41 (on pages 777 and 778) under such deleted heading, and by the substitution therefor respectively of the following head- ing and regulation,--

Special fire precautions relating to cinematograph operation and cinematograph films.

41.-(1) In this regulation,-

(a) The word "building" shall be deemed to include any booth,

tent, or similar structure.

(b) The expression "new building" means a building newly erected or adapted after the date on which this regulation comes into force for the purpose of cinematograph exhibitions.

(2) No building shall be used for cinematograph exhibitions unless it be provided with an adequate number of exits clearly indicated and so placed and maintained as readily to afford the audience ample means of safe egress.

(3) The doors of all exits shall be so constructed and maintained as

easily to open outwards on being pressed from within.

(4) The seating in the building shall be so arranged as not to interfere

with free access to the exits.

The gangways, the staircases, and the passages leading to the exits, shall, during the presence of the public in the building be kept clear of obstruction. No person shall be allowed to stand or sit in any of the gangways intersecting the rows of seats, or in the space between the front row of seats and the screen; and if stand- ing be permitted by the licensing authority in any other gangway or portion of the auditorium, sufficient room shall be left to allow persons to pass easily to and fro.

(5) The licensee or some responsible person nominated by him in writ- ing for the purpose shall be in charge during the whole time of any exhibition and there shall also be during that time a sufficient staff of attendants in the building for the purpose of securing safety. (6) All persons responsible for or employed in or in connection with the exhibition shall take all due precautions for the prevention of accidents, and shall abstain from any act whatever which tends to cause fire and is not reasonably necessary for the purpose of the exhibition.

(7) Fire appliances suitable to the character of the building and adequate to deal with an outbreak of fire shall be provided and maintained in good working order. During the exhibition such appliances shall be in the charge of some person specially nominated for that purpose who shall see that they are kept constantly available for use.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1931. 501

(8) There shall always be within the cinematograph enclosure sufficient means of dealing with fire readily available for use, and these shall include the following, namely, a thick woollen blanket, two buckets of water, and a bucket of dry sand. Before the commencement of each exhibition the operator shall satisfy himself that the fire ap- pliances within the enclosure are ready for use.

(9) No smoking shall at any time be permitted within the cinematograph enclosure, nor in the film room nor in any part of the premises in which films are stored, wound, or repaired. Notices stating that smoking is prohibited shall be kept posted in the enclosure and film room and any such part of the premises as aforesaid.

(10) No inflammable article shall unnecessarily be taken into, or allowed to remain in, the enclosure, the film room, or any part of the pre- mises in which films are stored, wound, or repaired.

(11) The projecting apparatus shall be placed in an enclosure of sub- stantial construction made of or lined internally with fire-resisting material and of sufficient dimensions to allow the operator to work freely.

(12) All fittings and fixtures within the enclosure other than the frames of outside windows shall be constructed of or covered with fire- resisting material.

(13) The entrance to the enclosure shall be suitably placed and fitted with a self-closing close-fitting door which shall be kept closed during the exhibition.

For the purpose of this paragraph the expression "fire-resist- ing material" includes teak or oak not less than two inches thick. (14) The openings through which the necessary pipes and cables pass into the enclosure shall be efficiently sealed or bushed, as the case may be.

(15) The openings in the front face of the enclosure shall be covered with glass and shall not be larger than is necessary for effective projection and observation.

Each such opening shall be fitted with a screen of fire-resisting material, which can be released from both the inside and the out- side of the enclosure so that it automatically closes with a close- fitting joint. The screens shall be so constructed and arranged that they can all be released simultaneously from the operating position near any of the projectors.

The openings shall not exceed two for each projecting apparatus; and not more than two of the openings shall be left unscreened at any one time.

(16) The door of the enclosure and all openings, bushes, and joints shall be so constructed and maintained as to prevent, so far as possible, the escape of any smoke into the auditorium or any part of the building to which the public are admitted.

(17) Adequate means of ventilation shall be provided with sufficient inlents and outlets so as to ensure a constant supply of fresh air. The inlets and outlets shall communicate directly with the outside of the building, and shall be so arranged as not to expose the operator to a direct draught.

(18) If the enclosure is inside the auditorium, either a suitable barrier shall be placed round the enclosure at a distance of not less than two feet from it, or other effectual means shall be taken to prevent the public from coming into contact with the enclosure.

Provided that this requirement shall not apply where the en- closure is of permanent construction and is not entered from the auditorium.

502

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1931.

(19) The enclosure shall be in charge of a competent operator who shall be present in the enclosure during the whole time that the apparatus is in use. This shall not prevent the operator leaving the enclosure for a short period in case of need provided that a com- petent assistant is left in charge and the operator remains within immediate call.

(20) No unauthorised person shall go into the enclosure or be allowed

to be within the barrier.

(21) In the case of buildings used habitually for cinematograph exhibi- tions the enclosure shall be outside the auditorium; and in the case of permanent buildings used habitually as aforesaid the enclosure shall also be permanent.

Provided that if the licensing authority is of opinion that, in the case of an existing building, compliance with either or both of the requirements in the preceding paragraph is impracticable or in the circumstances unnecessary for securing safety, the require- ment or requirements shall not apply.

In any new building where the enclosure is permanent, the en- closure shall also comply with the following requirements:--

(a) a window or skylight shall be provided.

(b) the entrance shall be from the open air.

(c) alternative means of egress shall be provided, unless the licensing authority is satisfied that compliance with this requirement is impracticable.

(22) The projecting apparatus shall be placed on firm supports con-

structed of fire-resisting material.

Every lantern shall be fitted with a metal shutter which can readily be inserted by hand between the source of light and the film gate, and every projector shall be fitted with a metal shutter so arranged as automatically to cut off the film-gate from the source of light when the projector stops.

The construction of the film gate shall be substantial and such as to afford ample heat-radiating surface. The passage for the film shall be sufficiently narrow to prevent flames travelling upwards or downwards from the light-opening.

(23) Projectors shall be fitted with two metal boxes of substantial con- struction to and from which the film shall be made to travel, unless both the film spools are contained in a metal chamber of substantial construction below the projector. There shall not be more than 2,000 feet of film in either of the two metal boxes.

The film boxes or chamber shall be made to close in such a manner, and shall be fitted with film slots so constructed, as to prevent the passage of flame to the interior of the box or chamber, and they shall remain so closed during the whole time that pro- jection is taking place.

(24) Take-up spools shall be mechanically driven and films shall be wound upon spools so that the wound film shall not at any time reach or project beyond the edges of the flanges of the spool.

(25) During the exhibition all films when not in use shall be kept in closed metal boxes of substantial construction. When in the en- closure not more than six spools shall be kept in one box at the same time.

(26) The total amount of film allowed to be kept in any building licenced or used as a place of Public entertainment shall not exceed five hundred and sixty reels or one ton.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1931.

503

Not more than 12 reels or 20,000 feet of film altogether shall be kept in the enclosure and the re-winding room at the same time. Film in excess of this amount shall be stored in an approved fire- resisting store-room constructed and maintained in accordance with conditions 1 to 9 inclusive and condition 11 of Part III of the Schedule to the Celluloid and Cinematograph Film Ordinance, 1923, (No. 23 of 1923).

(27) A separate room shall be provided for the re-winding and repairing of films, which shall be constructed throughout of, or lined inter- nally with, fire-resisting material.

(28) All fittings and fixtures within the rewinding room shall be con- structed of, or covered with, fire-resisting material, and the entrance shall be provided with a self-closing close-fitting door of fire- resisting material which shall not communicate directly with the auditorium or any part of the building to which the public are admitted. If there is any communicating doorway or other opening between the enclosure and the re-winding room it shall also be provided with a door or shutter of fire-resisting material.

For the purpose of this paragraph the expression "fire- resisting material" includes teak or oak not less than two inches thick.

(29) The rewinding room shall be provided with adequate means of ventilation, with sufficient inlets and outlets so as to ensure a constant supply of fresh air. The inlets and outlets shall com- municate directly with the outside of the building.

(30) Alternative means of egress shall be provided other than through

the enclosure.

Provided that if the licensing authority is of opinion that compliance with any of the requirements (27) to (30) is impracti- cable or, in the case of any of the requirements (27), (28) and (30), that it is in the circumstances unnecessary for securing safety, the requirement or requirements shall not apply.

(31) Where a building is used only occasionally for the purposes of a cinematograph exhibition the provisions of paragraphs (3) and (26) shall not apply unless specially imposed by the licensing authority in cases of exceptional danger, but the following requirements shall be complied with, viz. :-

(a) The doors of all exits shall be arranged to meet any

requirements of the licensing authority

(b) The film boxes fitted to the projector shall not exceed 14

inches in diameter, inside measurement.

(e) Not more than 3 spools altogether shall be kept in the

enclosure at any one time.

(32) Where a portable self-contained projector is used, paragraphs (3), (7), (9) tổ (30) inclusive shall not apply provided that paragraphs (1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (8) with the substitution of the words "reserved space for the word "enclosure", (31) (a) whether or not the building is only occasionally used, and (33) to (37) inclusive are complied with.

(33)--(a) If the projector is erected in any part of the auditorium or any place to which the public have access, effectual means shall be taken, whether by the erection of a suitable barrier or otherwise, to maintain round the projector a clear space of at least 3 feet, hereinafter referred to as "the reserved space".

(b) No unauthorised person shall be allowed within the reserved space.

504

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JULY 17, 1931.

(d) No inflammable article shall unnecessarily be taken into or allowed to remain in the reserved space.

(34) The projector shall be placed on a firm support and shall be kept

clear of the access to any exit.

(35)-(a) The projector and the illuminant shall be entirely enclosed in a casing of fire-resisting material except for such openings as are necessary for effective manipulation and ventilation.

(b) Any electric wiring or terminals fitted within the casing shall be so placed that it shall be impossible for films in use in the projector to come in contact with them.

(c) Each electric circuit on the projector shall be fitted with a separate switch controlled from outside the casing, and so placed as to be within reach of the operator when standing at the projector. (d) No illuminant other than electric light in hermetically sealed lamps shall be used within the projector, and the illuminant shall be separately encased in such way as to prevent contact with the film.

(e) The heat of the illuminant, and its position in relation to the optical system, shall be such that it is impossible for the rays of light to ignite a stationary film.

(Note. This requirement will be considered as met if a film stationary in the film-gate fails to ignite within a period of three minutes).

(36)-(a) The projector shall be fitted with film-boxes of fire-resisting material, which shall be made to close in such manner, and (where ribbon film is employed) shall be fitted with film-slots so con- structed, as to prevent the passage of flame to the interior of the box.

(b) The film boxes shall not be capable of carrying films of more than 10 inches in diameter, and shall be so constructed as to be easily detachable from the apparatus.

(c) All films shall be contained in film-boxes, which shall be attached to or removed from the projector without being opened, so that at no time shall a film be exposed except the portion neces- sary for threading up.

(d) During an exhibition not more than three film-boxes (including the two actually attached to the projector) shall be in the auditorium at any one time. If further film-boxes are required, they shall be kept in closed metal boxes outside the auditorium, and, if in the building, in a place approved by the licensing authority.

(37) A copy of so much of this regulation as applies when a portable projector is used shall be exhibited in any room or place in which a portable projector is used for the purposes of an exhibition.

QUESTIONS.

5. The Hon. Mr. W. E. L. SHENTON, pursuant to notice, asked the following further questions arising out of his questions asked on the 3rd September, 1931:---

1. Arising out of the answer to question No. 1:--

(a) Can the Government give particulars of the number of British Chinese (i) treated in hospital and (ii) treated as out-patients. during the year 1930.

(b) Are any, and, if so, what precautions taken to ensure that persons treated as out-patients do not convey the disease to other persons residing in the same house or to members of the community in general. (I use the words "convey the disease"

convey the disease" because I do not know the manner in which it is communicable).

2. Arising out of the last sentence of the answer to question No. 4:

Is it felt that any "actual liability" rests on this Colony for British Chinese lepers, (i.e., their maintenance in leper asylums), and, if so, in what way is that liability discharged.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 16, 1931. 697

The Director of Medical and Sanitary Services replied as follows:-

1.-(a) There were no British-Chinese lepers under treatment in 1930. One in-patient only claimed Hong Kong birth, but he was unable to sub- stantiate his claim in any way.

(b) Only patients considered to be in a non-infectious condition would be

treated as out-patients.

2. The answer is in the affirmative. Should such cases occur it is considered that the liability would be discharged if arrangements were made for the maintenance of the patient in a suitable leper asylum outside the Colony.

6. The Hon. Mr. R. H. KOTEWALL, C.M.G., LL.D., pursuant to notice, asked the

following questions:-

1. With reference to the typhoon which struck the Colony with some suddenness on Wednesday the 2nd September, resulting in the destruc- tion of many small craft and the loss of some lives among the floating population, will the Government state:-

(a) The number of small craft and the number of lives reported to

have been lost.

(b) What measures were taken by the Government for rescuing

small craft in distress.

rescue work during the typhoon.

(d) Whether any vessels other than the "Kau Sing" were employed by the Government for rescue work; and, if so, what vessels were so used.

2. Does the Government consider the measures so taken adequate; and, if not, what other measures the Government proposes to take in future typhoons?

3.-(a) At what outstations are typhoon signals hoisted?

(b) What arrangements, if any, are contemplated for giving warnings of approaching typhoons to vessels to which none of the existing typhoon signals is visible?

The Harbour Master replied as follows:--

1.-(a) (1) Inside harbour limits:-

Craft totally wrecked

Craft seriously damaged Lives lost ...

(2) Outside harbour limits :--

Craft totally wrecked

Craft seriously damaged

Lives reported lost

(b) In addition to the work of the "Kau Sing", referred to in the reply to question 1 (c), the Commander of the Dockyard was at 12.45 p.m., requested to send Naval Tugs to the assistance of native craft. This was done.

(c) The "Kau Sing" was engaged in towing and patrolling at the Western end of the harbour from 10.10 a.m. to 12.25 p.m. and at the Eastern end of the harbour from 12.25 to 3.00 p.m.

(d) Yes, a naval tug; the "Poet Chaucer".

2. The Government considers that the measures taken were adequate. The damage would have been considerably lessened if advantage had been taken of the facilities offered. In many cases the offer of a tow was not accepted.

698

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 16, 1931.

3. (a) Supplementary warnings day and night are displayed at the following

outstations:

Aberdeen,

Cheung Chau,

Gap Rock,

Ping Shan,

Stanley,

Field Officer's Quarters, Lyemun,

Saikung,

Sha Tau Kok, Tsun Wan,

Tai O,

Tai Po, Waglan.

(b) A proposal that typhoon signals should be displayed by local river

steamers and other craft is under consideration.

7. The Hon. Mr. W. E. L. SHENTON, pursuant to notice, asked the following

questions:-

1. In the event of typhoon signals being hoisted indicating the approach of a typhoon to this Colony and the native boat population desiring to get to shelter, can arrangements be made for the various Government launches (including police and harbour office launches) to assist in tow- ing the boat population to shelter.

2. Is Government aware of the exorbitant towing charges demanded by

launches in the harbour during the approach of the last typhoon.

The Harbour Master replied as follows:-

(1) Government craft, other than the Kau Sing, are not normally available for towing as they are engaged on their own work so long as weather conditions enable them to remain safely out of shelter. On the hoisting of typhoon signals-other than No. 1 Police launches go into shelter as soon as possible so as to be ready for duty immediately the typhoon is over. They assist in cases of actual distress but not otherwise. (2) Government is aware of the allegation that exorbitant charges were demanded for towing on the occasion of the last typhoon but no detailed information has been received. It should be remembered in this connection that many cargo boats and trading junks refused the offer of a tow in the early stages of the typhoon. Government has no sympathy with exorbitant demands for towage but it was only to be expected that the charges would rise as the risk to the towing craft increased. It is hoped that boats and junks will, in future, take shelter more promptly on the hoisting of a typhoon signal.

QUESTIONS.

4. The Hon. Mr. W. E. L. SHENTON, pursuant to notice, asked the following

questions:-

1. Is Government aware that British subjects proceeding from Hong Kong to Shanghai are called upon to have their passports vised on entering Shanghai, and that considerable inconvenience is caused to them there- by?

2. In the event of this practice being insisted upon will Government provide

facilities for British subjects obtaining a Chinese vise in Hong Kong?

3. Is any distinction made between the Hong Kong born British subjects

and other British subjects?

The Colonial Secretary replied as follows:-

1. Government is aware that British subjects who are not British residents of Hong Kong are required to have Chinese visas on their passports in order to enter Shanghai. This was announced in a Press Communique in April last. Only one complaint has been received that any incon- venience has been caused thereby. By a local reciprocal arrangement British residents of Hong Kong are allowed to enter Shanghai, without a Chinese visa. The passports of local British residents will be endorsed if desired with a certificate of residence.

2. This is considered unnecessary. Transit passengers have ample oppor-

tunity of obtaining visas before reaching Hong Kong.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 11, 1931. 813

PAPER.

3. The following paper was laid on the table :-

Regulation made by the Governor in Council under section 29 of the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, Ordinance No. 7 of 1896, on 30th September,

4. The Hon. Mr. Ts'o SEEN-WAN,

QUESTIONS.

B.E., LL.D. in the absence of the Hon. Mr.

W. E. L. SHENTON, asked the foliowing questions:

1. How many craft were during the 2nd September last towed to safety by

"Kau Sing" from :--

(a) West end of Harbour?

(b) East end of Harbour?

2. How far west did the "Kau Sing" patrol?

3. How many requests were received by Harbour Office for assistance?

Were they passed on to the "Kau Sing"?

If so, is there any record of action taken? Can the log be produced?

4. Details of craft refusing assistance?

5. Is it a fact that the "Kau Sing" was anchored in Kowloon Bay during the afternoon of 2nd September when craft were sunk in various parts of the Harbour?

If so, between what hours and why?

6. Much as Naval assistance is appreciated, was it necessary for H.M.S. "Stormcloud" to carry out the rescues of fisherfolk on Lamma Island, after the typhoon?

Could not this have been done by the "Kau Sing"?

7. What are the duties of the "Kau Sing" during the presence of a typhoon

in the Colony?

8. Is the "Kau Sing" worked under the instructions of the Harbour Master

or does the Master act on his initiative?

9. Is the "Kau Sing" only intended to help large vessels or any size of craft

requiring assistance?

10. What acts of assistance did the "Kau Sing" perform during the typhoon

of the 2nd September?

The Harbour Master replied as follows:-

1. (a) Two Trading Junks. A third was towed some distance but the tow line either parted or was cut. The latter is suspected because the "Kau Sing" cannot steer at very low speeds and the junk people com- plain that she tows too fast. A line was thrown to a fourth junk but although caught was not made fast.

(b) None. No junks or cargo boats, approachable by "Kau Sing", were

found in need of assistance.

2. Past Green Island where two small sampans were offered assistance at

10.30 a.m.

This assistance was refused and the sampans reached shelter under their own oars.

3.-(a) A request was received from the Kowloon Godown Company for the "Kau Sing" to tow some lighters from off Kowloon Wharf to Yaumati Shelter. This was passed to "Kau Sing" but no action was taken as there appeared to be no danger to life.-The Wharfage Co. having their own launches available.

814

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETRE, DECEMBER 11, 1931.

(b) A request was received from Kwong Hip Lung to tow some lighters from West Point to Yaumati. As by then the "Kau Sing had pro- ceeded to the Eastern end of the harbour it was explained to his repre- sentative that the craft in the west having had their opportunity to be towed to safety it would be unfair recall the "Kau Sing" from the East and so deprive any craft in the East, who might be in need of assistance, of their opportunity to accept towage. This request was not. passed to "Kau Sing".

ΤΙ

(c) A report was received that some lighters belonging to Butterfield and Swire were in trouble to the westward. As the "Kau Sing" had already proceeded to the East this report was not passed to the "Kau Sing" for the same reason as set forth in 3 (b).

(d) A report was received from the Green Island Cement Co. that some lighters were in distress off Hok Yuen (Kowloon Bay). This message was passed to "Kau Sing". On arrival at Hok Yuen owing to bad weather conditions the Master decided that it would be an undue risk to take the "Kau Sing" in to the lighters, a decision with which the Harbour Master concurs.

(e) A report was received that a junk was sinking inside Kellett Island. This message was passed to "Kau Sing". On arrival off Kellett Island no sign of such junk could be seen. The Master did not search inside Kellett Island as there was insufficient water for the safe navigation of the "Kau Sing".

Messages were passed to the "Kau Sing" as stated above.

Record of action taken is contained in the log.

Copies of both the Deck Log and Wireless Telegraph Log are pro- duced.

4. A large number of junks and cargo boats estimated at about 100 were lying alongside the praya and wharves. Each group was offered towage.

Some craft declined others ignored the offer.

No record was kept. An order has now been issued that such a

· record shall be kept in future.

5. The "Kau Sing" due to weather conditions was anchored in Kowloon Bay at 3 p.m. At 4.50 p.m. anchor was weighed but at 5.10 p.m. the "Kau Sing" proving unmanageable at low speeds anchor was again dropped and "Kau Sing" remained at anchor until 6 p.m. when the weather moderating she again got under way.

Most of the craft sunk or broken up against the praya wall met their fate between the piers to the west of the Harbour Office between 2.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. Had the "Kau Sing" been present off these piers she would have been unable to go in to these craft as she would have been running a grave risk of becoming herself a casualty against the praya wall.

6. On September 3rd whilst the "Kau Sing" was being employed carrying out the Gap Rock Lighthouse relief a report was received that some fishing junks had been wrecked on the Lema Islands in Chinese Terri- tory. Owing to a temporary defect in "Kau Sing's" wireless telegraph it was found impossible to get a message through to her and the Naval Authorities very kindly detailed H.M.S. "Stormcloud" to investigate. Acting on a report received from the "Stormcloud by the Naval Authorities the Harbour Master sent out the "Kau Sing" on the morn- ing of September 4th to carry out a thorough search.

The "Kau Sing arrived back in the evening having rescued 19 persons.

No report has been received of any casualty having occurred on Lamma Island.

7. A copy of the orders for the "Kau Sing" during typhoon weather drawn

up in July 1926 y the following Committee:-

Harbour Master, (Chairman),

R. SUTHERLAND, Esquire,

T. N. CHAU, Esquire, representing the Chinese Chamber of Com-

- merce,

Captain P. . ROLFE, Marine Superintendent, Indo-China Steam

Navigation Co., Ltd.,

Captain R. INNES, Marine Superintendent, China Navigation Co., Captain E. H. NEAVE, Senior Wharfinger, Hong Kong and Kowloon

Wharf and Godown Co.,

is tabled.

8. The Master works under the general instructions as laid down above.

Messages received at the Harbour Office are passed to him as requisite and in special cases definite instructions from the Harbour Master.

The Harbour Master acts in general control but in typhoon weather a great deal must be left to the initiative and judgment of the master who is the man on the spot and is better able to judge the capabilities of the "Kau Sing" in the weather conditions then prevailing than can an officer sitting in an office.

9. All craft regardless of size, giving priority to the saving of life.

10. This is answered by the reply to question 1.

BETTING DUTY REGULATIONS.

1. The Provisions (including the penal provisions) of the Stamp Duties Management Ordinance, 1911, shall apply to stamps used for denoting Betting duty.

2. The secretary of every club organising a cash-sweep or conducting a totalisator or pari-mutuel, in the Colony, or acting as agent in the Colony for the allocation of chances in a cash-sweep organised outside the Colony, shall draw up for the Collector of Stamp Revenue a statement showing -

(i) the number of tickets sold and the amounts received in respect of the totalisator or pari- mutuel betting on each race;

(ii) the number and value of cash-sweep tickets

sold ;

(i) the number and value of cash-sweep chances allocated otherwise than by ticket in respect of each race.

3. In the case of a club acting as agent as aforesaid, which is permitted to issue lists instead of tickets, the statement shall be drawn up and delivered to the Collector before the lists of numbers allocated are despatched from the Colony.

4. In the case of cash-sweeps conducted by a club organising the race and in the case of bets on any total- isator or pari-mutuel the statement shall be drawn up and delivered within fifteen days after the day on which the race is held.

5. In all other cases the statement shall be drawn up and delivered within three days after the day on which the race is held and before any money is distributed among the contributors or subscribers.

6. The Collector, or any person generally or specially authorised thereto by him in writing, may at all reason- able times require from the secretary of every such club the production at such place as he may direct of any books, accounts, vouchers, lists, counterfoils or other documents relating to any totalisator, pari-mutuel or sweep.

7. The duty required to be paid under the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931, shall be deemed a debt and may be recovered in the same manner as Crown rents, assess- ments, fees or forfeitures are recovered under the Crown Remedies Ordinance, 1875, upon certificate purporting to be under the hand of the Colonial Treasurer.

8. Unless by agreement between any club and the Collector for the payment of duty in any other manner, the duty shall be paid by stamps affixed printed, embossed or impressed by the Collector on each ticket or counterfoil and on each list provided for in section 4 of the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931, before any such ticket or list is issued.

9. The Collector may prescribe forms for use under these regulations.

No. 833.-The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry held on the 15th December, 1931, to enquire into the circumstances attending the stranding of the British Steamship Planorbis, is published for general information.

24th December 1931.

W. T. SOUTHORN,

Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the S.S. Planorbis Official No. 152082 of London of which Mr. Willium Fretwell (Certificate of Competency as Master No. 799 of Lyttelton New Zealand) was Master whilst proceeding on a voyage from Balik Papan to Hong Kong grounded at 1.12 a.m. on November 18th, 1931, in a position 131° I mile from Pearl Bank Light.

We find that the grounding was caused by an error in judgment on the part of the Master William Fretwell due to under-estimating the distance from the light at 11.38 p.m. on the 17th.

We adjudge that this under-estimating of the distance was due to an abnormal set of the tide and refraction and that therefore this error in judgment does not amount to culpability.

Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hong Kong, this 15th day of December, 1931.

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 31, 1931. · 957

ROYAL OBSERVATORY, HONG KONG.

No. 851.

LOCAL STORM SIGNAL CODE.

Recommended for use in the Far East at a Conference of Directors of Far Eastern Weather Services, held at Hong Kong in the year 1930.

Adopted at Hong Kong from 1931, March 1.

Signal. Symbol.

1 2 3 LO CO∞

DAY SIGNALS.

Meaning.

T A depression or typhoon exists which may possibly affect the locality.

Strong wind with squalls may possibly occur from the S.W. (S-W).

Strong wind with squalls may possibly occur from the S.E. (E-S).

Typhoon dangerous but danger to locality not imminent.

Gale expected from the N.W. (W-N).

Gale expected from the S. W. (S-W).

Gale expected from the N.E. (N-E).

Gale expected from the S.E. (E-S).

Gale expected to increase.

Wind of typhoon force expected (any direction).

Signal No. 4 will be used in the Philippines but not at Hong Kong, the information it conveys being given by the Non-Local Signals.

Signals 5 to 8 are not hoisted until it is tolerably certain that a gale (40-45 m.p.h. by the Dines Anemometer) will occur at Hong Kong or Gap Rock, or when a typhoon is sufficiently near to warrant a danger signal, although the occurrence of a gale is by no means certain.

lf, with one of signals 5 to 8 hoisted, conditions indicate that the wind will not only increase but attain hurricane force, signal No. 9 may be dispensed with, thus giving the longest possible warning of destructive winds.

Signal No. 10 will be accompanied by three explosive bombs, fired at intervals of 10 seconds at the Water Police Station and repeated at the Harbour Office.

When the centre of a typhoon passes over the locality the wind decreases rapidly to a calm, or nearly calm, and blows violently from the opposite direction when the centre has passed.

The signal will be lowered when it is considered that all danger is over.

The Day Signals will be displayed on the Radio mast at the Royal Observatory, at the Harbour Office, H.M.S. Tamar, Green Island, Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., the Standard Oil Co. at Lai-chi-kok, the flagstaff near the Field Officer's Quarters at Lyemun, Gough Hill Police: Station and Taipo (District Officer's flagstaff).

THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 31, 1931.

The Night Signals will be displayed, at sunset, on the Radio mast at the Royal Observatory, on the tower of the Railway Station, H.M.S. Tumar, the Harbour Office, on the flagstaff near the Field Officer's Quarters at Lyemun, and at Gough Hill Police Station. They will have the same significa- tion as the day signals.

Signal No. 10 will be accompanied by explosive bombs as above, in the event of the information. conveyed by this signal being first published at night.

Supplementary Warnings.

When Local Signals are displayed in the Harbour, signals will be displayed as follows:-

When No. 1 Signal is displayed in the Harbour.

Red by day.

Red Light above a Green Light by night.

When Signals Nos. 5 to 10 are displayed in the Harbour.

Black Cone by day

2 Green Lights vertical by night.

These Signals will be displayed at the following Stations :-

Aberdeen.

Cheung Chow.

Gap Rock.

Ping Shan.

Stanley.

Shaukiwan.

Saikung.

Shataukok.

Tsun Wan.

Tai O. Waglan.

Also on Police cruising launches and on Police launches Nos. 5 and 6, from 1932, January 1.

Further details can always be given to ocean vessels, on demand, by signal from Lighthouses, or by wireless telegraphy.

The object of the code is to give at least 24 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 m.p.h., mean velocity by Dines Anemometer) and also warnings of expected changes in the direction and force of the wind. Owing however to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphic observations, it will occasionally happen that signals 5 to 8 may be displayed without a gale occurring at Hong Kong, or even Gap Rock, but the reverse is not likely to happen, except in the case of typhoons forming in the vicinity and travelling rapidly towards Hong Kong, or should the direction of motion of a located typhoon alter, or its rate of progression increase, abnormally.

Signal No. 1 is intended as a warning to "Stand By" and watch for the next signal. When it is hoisted after one of Nos. 5 to 8 has been displayed it will mean that, on account of a change in the track of the typhoon, or for some other reason, a gale is no longer expected from the direction indicated by the last signal, and that another black signal may possibly be hoisted later.

25th December, 1931.

T. F. CLAXTON, Director.

NOTE: This Notification is published to draw attention to the Supplementary Warnings which will be displayed on Police launches, and to the Supplementary Night Signals which will be used from 1932, January 1, when Local Signal No. 1 is displayed in the Harbour.
