MARINE DEPARTMENT. ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1900-1.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

My Lord, — Marine Department, Wellington, 16th September, 1901. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for your Excellency's information, the report of the Marine Department of the colony for the financial year ended the 31st March last. I have, &c, Wm. Hall-Jones, His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Eanfurly, Minister of Marine. Governor of New Zealand.

The Secretary to the Minister of Marine. Sir, — Marine Department, Wellington, 13th September, 1901. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this department during the financial year ended the Ist March last: — Lighthouses. —The cost of maintenance, exclusive of the cost of the attending steamer, was £13,573 10s. 9d. The efficiency of the lighthouses has been properly maintained and everything has worked smoothly. The new lighthouse on East Island, off East Cape, has been completed. This light was first exhibited on the 9th August last, and has proved to be of great service to shipping. The proposal to connect it with the telegraph system has not been carried out, as the most suitable route has not yet been ascertained; a further survey will be made shortly. Since the completion of the lighthouse, a large landslip has taken place, destroying part of the tramway, burying the landing store, and partly fiiling-up the landing place. The site for a lighthouse at Kahurangi Point, about sixty-five miles north of Westport, has been selected by the Marine Engineer and Nautical Adviser. A lantern and apparatus for a second-order fixed white light, to show a sector of 20° of red light over Stewart breaker, have been ordered through the Agent-General, and steps are being taken to proceed with the erection of the tower, dwelling-houses, and other necessary buildings. Pencarrow Head Lighthouse has been connected with the telegraph system of the colony. At Nugget Point a new flagstaff and a house for a third keeper have been erected. The flagstaff has been placed where it can be easily seen from passing vessels, and it has been arranged that one of the keepers is to be always on the look-out during the day, so that all vessels may be reported. A contract has been let for the supply of the timber required to renew the keepers' houses at Farewell Spit, and various minor repairs have been effected to the buildings at several stations. In consequence of the erection of East Cape Lighthouse, the coastal light dues at Gisborne and Tauranga have been altered, so as to provide that vessels visiting those ports and deriving benefit from the light shall contribute towards its maintenance. The work of inspecting the lighthouses has been performed by Captain Bollons, of the s.s. " Hinemoa." The sum of £22,240 9s. 3d. has been collected for light dues during the year, as compared with £20,996 Bs. 3d. during the previous year, being an increase of £1,244 Is. Harbours. — Last session Acts were passed to constitute Harbour Boards at Nelson and Mokau, and the Boards have been duly established, and have taken over the control of the harbours. The Governor in Council has declared that the Whakatane County Council shall exercise the powers of a Harbour Board in Whakatane Harbour. The buoys in the harbours under the control of the department have been overhauled and attended to by the Government steamers. One of the buoys at Nelson sank in consequence of the master of a cutter using it as a target for rifle practice. The offender was prosecuted and fined, besides having to defray the cost of recovering and repairing the buoy. The dredging near the wharf at Onehunga has been completed, and has very much improved the approach to the wharf. Shipowners are now urging that a shoal-patch below the wharf should be removed so that vessels may be able to leave at low water. The wreck of the " Waipara," which for some time obstructed the navigation of Okarito Eiver, has been blown up by Captain Falconer, of the Defence Department, and a party of his men, and the channel is now clear.

Mr. H. W. Dawson, Postmaster at Akaroa, has been appointed Harbourmaster at that place, so as to give him power to license boats plying for hire in the harbour, and to prevent the indiscriminate removal of boulders, gravel, &c, from the foreshore. A return showing the harbour-works authorised by the Governor in Council and the licenses issued for the occupation of foreshore is appended hereto. The sum of £3,322 4s. 3d. has been collected for pilotage and port charges in respect of the harbours under the control of the department, as against £3,255 14s. during the previous year. The appended return shows the amount collected at each port. Fisheries. —Further experimental trawling has been carried out in the North Island, under the direction of Mr. L. F. Ayson, Inspector of Fisheries. The steam trawler "Doto" was again chartered for the work, which was commenced off the Mahia Peninsula at the beginning of February last and finished off at Taranaki at the commencement of May. As flounders were getting scarce in Hawke's Bay it was decided, after the work with the " Doto " was completed, to charter the trawler " Eita " for a week to test the grounds further out than those fished by the ordinary trawlers. The tests were made under the supervision of Mr. Ayson, who Will make a special report on the operations carried out both in the " Doto " and " Eita. " The proposed site for a fish-hatchery at Purakanui having been found to be unsuitable, a site has been selected in Otago Harbour, at the end of the Portobello Peninsula, and arrangements are now being made with the owners and lessees of the land abutting on the proposed site for the lease of the land required in connection with the hatchery. A salmon-hatchery has been constructed at Hakataramea. Early in January last a shipment of quinnat salmon-ova was received from California, having been supplied by the United States Fish Commission free of charge. The ova arrived in good condition, and as there was not room for the whole of it in the Hakataramea Hatchery, which was not then completed, a portion was sent up to Lake Ohau, where it has been successfully hatched. The United States Fish Commission allowed Mr. Lambson, its Californian Inspector, to come to New Zealand in charge of the ova without making any charge for his services, for which, and for the gift of the ova, the thanks of the department are due to the Commission. Arrangements were made to obtain a shipment of sockeye, or blueback salmon ova, from Canada, but owing to the season being a poor one the Canadian Fisheries Department was unable to obtain the ova; but a promise has been made that a shipment will be sent next season. Besides being used for salmon the hatchery will be useful in connection with obtaining and distributing trout ova. Arrangements have been made to obtain a supply of trout ova during the coming season for the Westland Acclimatisation Society and the Hobson County Council. Seals. —The close season for seals, which has been in force since October, 1894, has been extended up to 30th June, 1902. Oysters. —lt has been decided to keep the oyster-beds in the Hauraki Gulf closed this year, as inspection has shown that they require further rest before being fit for picking. When the Inspectors visited the beds just before the termination of the ordinary close season for the North Island they found that one person had picked a large quantity of oysters on Kawau Island, having obtained permission from the owner of the island to take them. It was the intention of the picker to have them in Auckland for sale on the first day of the open season, but, as it was illegal to pick and have them in possession during the close season, they and the vessel which was being used to take them to Auckland were seized. The vessel was, however, returned to the owner, but the oysters, forfeited in accordance with the Act, were sold by the department. The beds in the Northern and Southern Subdivisions of the Northern Fishery were opened on the Ist April last, but owing to the large number of pickers and to the Auckland Fishery and the Middle Subdivision of the Northern Fishery being closed, the beds in the Southern Subdivision have already had so many oysters taken from them that in order to prevent their being seriously injured it has been found necessary to close them again. With a view to the beds on Moturua and Motu Maire Islands, near Eussell, being reserved for the use of the Maoris, they have been closed for the present. The Tauranga Fishery has been declared open. In view of the way in which the beds are depleted in many places soon after they are opened, the question of restricting the quantity of oysters that may be taken by each licensed picker will have to be considered at an early date, and it may also be advisable to increase the present license fee of 10s. In order to make these alterations an amendment of the law will be required. Hitherto the department has not interfered with picnickers and others taking a few oysters for their own use, but it is found that some of the beds are so stripped by these persons as to be permanently injured. It is therefore a question whether the privilege should not be withdrawn. The formation of artificial beds by private persons, for which a good many licenses have been issued, especially in the Pelorus Sound and Tory Channel, has not proved a success, and several of the holders have surrendered their licenses. One company has expended a good deal of money in endeavouring to cultivate oysters in Porirua Harbour, but the venture has proved a failure. A communication has been received through the Agent-General from Mr. E. W. Streeter, of New Bond Street, London, asking whether the Government would grant him the sole concession to fish for oysters around the islands of New Zealand, and he has been informed that such a concession could not be given to any person. Weather-reporting. —Captain Edwin continues to make and circulate weather forecasts. A further supply of barographs and thermometers, and of the International Cloud Atlas, has been ordered from England. Inspection of Machinery. —The work done during the year is fully described in the Chief Inspector's report, which is appended hereto. The provisions of " The Inspection of Machinery Act Amendment Act, 1900," requiring the drivers of stationary engines and boilers above a certain

H.—ls

power to hold certificates, has considerably increased the work of the Chief Inspector's office and of the Inspectors. The increase of work from this and other causes has necessitated the appointment of an additional Inspector and the employment of additional clerical assistance. Mr. W. J. Jobson, who was one of the first Inspectors appointed after the passing of " The Inspection of Machinery Act, 1874," has retired from the service. He has been stationed in the Auckland District during the whole period of his service, and has been a valuable officer. Mr. Morrison, one of the Dunedin Inspectors, has resigned his position. Hitherto the work in Southland has been performed by one of the Inspectors stationed at Dunedin, but it is now sufficient to render it advisable to station an Inspector at Invercargill, and it has therefore been decided to make that place the headquarters of Inspector Bethune. Messrs. Dalrymple, Calvert, and Walker have been appointed Inspectors. Survey of Steamers. —The report of the Principal Engineer Surveyor is appended hereto. There has been one prosecution for a steamer carrying more passengers than allowed by her certificate, and a conviction was obtained. Examination of Masters, Mates, and Engineers. —The examinations during the year have been satisfactorily carried out. The only alterations made in the regulations have been to provide for the use of the new international code of signals, and to provide for the issue of provisional certificates to enable persons to enter and receive promotion in the Eoyal Naval Eeserve. For certificates of competency 169 persons passed their examinations, and 100 failed. Of those who passed 110 were masters, mates, and engineers of sea-going vessels, and 59 were masters and engineers of vessels plying within restricted limits. The reports of the Principal Examiners of Masters and Mates and of Engineers are appended hereto. Deck Cargo. —The necessity for the amendment of the regulations governing the carriage of deck cargo, especially as regards the carriage of timber on scows and other vessels, having become apparent, the Nautical Adviser has gone into the matter, and has drafted the amendments which he considers necessary. These are now under consideration. Convictions have been obtained against the masters of two vessels for carrying more cargo than allowed by their licenses, and against one for carrying timber on deck without a license. Engagement and Discharge of Seamen. —This work has been carried out in a satisfactory manner. Prosecutions have been instituted in some cases where masters have employed men without entering into agreement with them, and convictions secured. In one case a master has been fined for leaving port with two men short of the number of seamen required by law to be carried. It was found that some shipmasters whose vessels carried foreign articles, although trading nearly all their time on the coast, were giving their men discharges for foreign service for the whole of their time. As this practice was considered to be contrary to the regulations, instructions were issued to Superintendents that it must not be allowed, as the service to be shown in the discharges must be such as had actually been performed. At the same time, the Board of Trade was asked for its view of the matter, and the reply received confirms the action of the department. Government Steamers. —Both steamers have been kept fully employed during the year. The " Tutanekai " has been engaged in the following work —viz., repairing Cook Strait cable, laying a cable between Auckland and Motuihi Island, making a trip to the South Sea Islands, taking the Federal Contingent to Sydney for the Commonwealth celebrations, accompanying the " Britannic " with the Imperial troops round the colony, and in carrying railway rolling-stock, &c, and sleepers. The " Hinemoa " has, as usual, been principally employed in attending to the lighthouses and harbour buoys. She has also visited the Kermadec and the Southern Islands to search for castaways, and to inspect and replenish, when necessary, the provision-depots, and she has towed the Westport dredge from Onehunga to Westport. She will shortly require new decks, as the present ones are becoming worn-out. Wages and Effects of Deceased Seamen. —The estates of eleven seamen, amounting to £43 18s. 7d., were dealt with during the year. Of these, eight were new estates. The sum of £25 4s. 2d. was paid to relatives and other claimants. Wrecks and Casualties. —Tables showing the casualties to ships, and an analysis thereof, h appended hereto. Those on the coasts of the colony numbered forty-eight, representing 19,502 tons, as against forty-two, representing 10,146 tons in the previous year. The total wrecks within the colony were ten, of 1,309 tons, as against six, of 2,247 tons, in the previous year. The number of lives lost was fourteen, as against thirty-five last year. Of these, thirteen were within the colony —viz., seven from the " Wolverine " (all hands), and one each from the " Eliza Firth," " Nancy," " Eonga," " Tararawa," " Hermione," and " Grace Harwar." I have, &c, W. T. Glasgow, Secretary.

The Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates to the Secretary, Marine Department. Office of the Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates, Lambton Quay, Sir,— ' Wellington, 17th May, 1901. I have the honour to inform you that the examination of masters and mates has been carried out by the Examiners at the four principal ports in a satisfactory manner. I have the pleasure of again being able to express appreciation of the gentlemen who have been appointed as my colleagues in the examination work at the four principal ports, which I have visited during the year at different times. There has been a considerable increase in the number of candidates who have presented themselves for examination, especially at Wellington, where most of the examination work has been conducted during the last year, and during the last nine months examinations have been held here (with but few exceptions) in every week. Owing to this, and the difficulty of relieving

H.—-15

Captain Smith (the Marine Superintendent and Examiner for Wellington) on examination days, 1 have myself personally conducted all the examinations in Wellington since the middle of last July, only calling on Captain Smith for relief, and to examine in the viva voce part of the examination when necessary, to save a candidate being delayed. All the examina,tion-papers used are of my own setting, and a large number of papers have been printed, so that problems could be constantly varied. All the problems are worked out afresh after the printing, either by myself or by one of my colleagues (whose work I then again check), to insure perfect accuracy and freedom from misprints. I am disappointed to find that the number of failures have again exceeded the number of those who have successfully passed their examinations, though, on the whole, the work of candidates has decidedly improved. In a few instances candidates have passed exceedingly well at first attempt. Messrs. F. A. Worsley and William Mcßride, who passed the foreign-going masters' examination, and Mr. E. H. Guy, who passed the voluntary examination for the compass syllabus deserve especial mention for the very creditable manner in which they passed their examinations. I have, &c, H. S. Blackbtjrne, Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates. The Secretary, Marine Department.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Secretary of the Marine Department. Office of the Chief Inspector of Machinery, Queen's Chambers, Sir,— Wellington, 4th April, 1901. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of the Inspection of Machinery Act of 1882 throughout New Zealand during the financial year ended the 31st March, 1901. A large amount of additional work has been added to this department through the legislation passed last session making it compulsory for land-engine drivers to hold certificates. By this new law all land-engine drivers who are in charge of land engines with cylinders over 144 circular inches, and boilers over 15-horse power have to hold certificates. Certificates are of three grades —extra first, first, and second class. Extra first and first-class certificates entitle the holder to take charge of any engine or boiler ; second-class certificates entitle the holder to take charge of any steam-boiler and of any steam-engine the cylinders of which do not exceed 200 circular inches. The extra first-class certificate is only for those who have served a proper apprenticeship as an engineer for five years, and the examination is a very rigid one, bringing out the education of the candidate in theory as well as practice, and has given great satisfaction to those who have never been to sea, as this certificate, outside the saline and propeller questions, is almost equal to a chief engineer's marine certificate. On the candidate's passing he is designated " engineer." The regulations for the new class of engine-drivers embrace also all other classes —viz., winding, traction, and locomotive —compiled in book form, and can be had at the offices of the Inspectors of Machinery in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, and at the office of the Chief Inspector of Machinery, Wellington. Until the 31st December, 1901, service certificates are granted to those who have been in charge of an engine or boiler for twelve months prior to the 31st December, 1900, of the class which requires a certificate. - The work in connection with granting these certificates—such as correspondence, perusal of applications and verification of same by testimonials, preparations for the holding of examinations, arranging papers generally, and for the Board meetings, making out and recording the certificates and distributing the same, and other incidental matters in connection with personal inquiries and general answers to inquiries as to the working of the Act—took up the whole time of three clerks and two Inspectors for nearly the first three months after the Act came into operation, and even at the present time the applications and inquiries are very numerous. Examinations for competency certificates have been held at numerous places all over the colony, and applicants have been met as far as possible with our limited staff. For the first four months nearly all the time of two Inspectors has been taken up on this work, and some of the regular inspection work has necessarily stood over. This examination work, comprising as it does no less than fourteen different classes of certificates (including marine) has now become a very big thing, and will now necessitate the constant employment of one Examiner under ordinary circumstances. The following certificates have been granted during the year: Competency certificates granted to land-engine drivers—Extra first-class stationary, 5 ; first-class stationary, 37; second-class stationary, 201 ; winding, 28; traction and locomotive, 133. Service certificates granted to land-engine drivers—first-class stationary, 794; second-class stationary, 393; winding, 2 ; traction and locomotive, 11 : making a total of certificates issued, 1,604. Boiler Inspection. —This class of work is extending all round, and some boilers are in very remote parts of the colony, necessitating long journeys at great expense for very little return. This is especially the case in Auckland, Otago, and some of the Wellington districts. The total number of inspections made, including lifts, water, gas, and oil engines for which certificates were issued, amounts to 4,238. Accidents in Connection with Boilers. —lt is with pleasure that I have again to announce that no accident arising from a boiler explosion has occurred during the financial year, which should prove to the general public not only the care with which the inspection of boilers is carried out, but the safety to the public themselves who live in the neighbourhood of steam-driven work. As manufactures and population increase in any centre, so assuredly will works of all sorts ; and were it not for the close inspection, not only of boilers but of the fencing and guarding of machinery in motion, many useful and valuable lives would be lost by accident.

Defects in Boilers and Fittings. —Four hundred and twenty defects in boilers and their fittings were discovered, of which forty-eight were dangerous. Some of these might have caused a serious accident, involving loss of life and property. New Boilers. —There were 402 new boilers started during the year, representing a total horsepower of 5,877 ; of these 127 were made in the colony and 275 were imported, including the following classes : Portable, semi-portable, traction, locomotive, Cornish, Cornish tubular, vertical cross-tube, vertical tubular, multitubular, Lancashire tubular, water tubular, and marine. Lifts and Water-driven Machinery. —There were 135 hydraulic lifts, twenty-eight lifts driven by gas, steam, electricity, &c, eight gas "and hydraulic hoists and motors, 169 water-driven machinery, 238 gas engines, and twenty-four oil engines inspected during the year. In sixteen instances new ropes were ordered for lifts, two new chains, and in twenty-one cases the chains were ordered to be annealed. With reference to the water-driven machinery, gas- and oil-engines, 135 notices were given to fence and guard machinery. Prosecutions. —A number of prosecutions has taken place during the year, which includes owners for working steam-boilers without having the proper certificate, and engine-drivers for driving and taking charge of an engine and boiler without having the proper certificate. In connection with the boiler-inspection fees, a month is given to the owner within which to take up his certificate, and an inducement is offered to him in the form of a rebate if taken up within the month, so that he not only saves money by prompt payment, but also avoids the chance of prosecution later on. Postal and Police Authorities. —This department is greatly indebted to the postal and police authorities for the very valuable assistance rendered by the former in promptly returning schedules ,of fees, showing whether owners had paid or not, thus enabling us to deal at once with defaulters ; and to the latter for their work, more especially connected with the non-lifting of boiler certificates, and prosecutions arising therefrom, and of persons driving engines or in charge of boilers without holding the proper certificates. In connection with the latter, I would call attention to the penalty incurred by all those who drive engines or have charge of boilers for which certificates are necessary, without holding certificates, and to the owners of such engines or boilers who employ noncertificated drivers for engines or boilers requiring certificated men to be in charge. By clause 12 of " The Inspection of Machinery Act Amendment Act, 1900," any person who, after the Ist January, 1901, acts in the capacity of engine-driver of any steam stationary engine the cylinders of which exceed 144 circular inches, or of a steam-boiler over 15-horse power, without a proper certificate, and every person who employs an uncertificated driver, are liable to a penalty not exceeding £5 for every day or part of a day during which such uncertificated driver so acts. Accidents in Connection with Machinery. —l regret to have to report some accidents (fatal and non-fatal) to persons employed about machinery, a detailed account of which is given in returns numbered. 6 and 7 attached. Districts and Inspectors. —Several changes have taken place with regard to districts and Inspectors during the year. Mr. Jobson, who had for the long period of twenty-six years been an Inspector in the Auckland District, retired from the service on the 15th January, 1901. During all this long term of public service he bore an excellent character for impartiality, fairness, and courtesy, combined with firmness. No faulty boiler inspection or defective steamer survey can be laid to his account, and during my term as Chief Inspector I can bear testimony to the correctness of his returns and to that carefulness in detail which characterized his work all through. Altogether his loss to the department has been a great one. His place has been filled by Mr. S. Dalrymple. Mr. A. McVicar has been transferred from the Wellington District and permanently appointed to the Canterbury District. Mr. A. Morrison retired from the service in Otago, and was succeeded by Mr. A. W. Bethune, lately of the Canterbury District. Mr. A. Walker was appointed an additional Inspector in the Otago District, and Mr. A. Calvert was appointed to the Wellington District, to fill the place of Mr. McVicar. Altogether three new appointments were made, two to fill vacancies caused by Inspectors retiring from the service, and the third as an addition to the staff. Returns. —Appended are the returns in detail, numbered from 1 to 16. (1.) Number and class of boilers inspected and fees payable on these, the machinery inspected and the fees payable thereon, and the classes and numbers of engine-drivers' certificates issued and the fees payable therefor. (2.) The different classes of work for which the boilers and machinery are used, showing the motive-power also used. (With reference to this return it should be stated that where there are more boilers than one used in the same class of work at the same works the total number of boilers is returned as one; thus, the large meat companies have, say, six boilers and six digesters boiling down—they are returned as one class only, and in the same way with other works). (3.) Eeturn of defects found on inspection of boilers. (4.) Eeturn of notices given to repair boilers. (5.) Eeturn of notices given to fence dangerous parts of machinery. (6.) Eeturn of accidents which were not fatal. (7.) Eeturn of accident which was fatal. (8.), (9.), (10.), (11.), (12), (13), (14.), (15), and (16.)

The Chief Examiner of Engineers to the Secretary of the Marine Department. Office of Chief Examiner of Engineers, Queen's Chambers, Sir,— Wellington, 4th April, 1901. I beg leave to submit my annual report for the year ended the 31st March, 1901. During the year 137 candidates applied to be examined, and fees amounting to £137 were received. The following classes of applicants applied : Chief engineers, second engineers, third engineers, river engineers, marine-engine drivers. General. —A considerable number of failures have taken place during the year, but on the whole I have to bear testimony to the many excellent examinations passed, and it is my opinion that we have just as good material here as is to be found anywhere in the engineering profession. I trust that after passing these examinations the applicants will not lay back on their freshly won laurels, but will continue to improve themselves, for the " plums " in life later on will be for those who very largely combine theory with every-day practice. Examinations away from Centres. —A number of examinations have been held away from the centres during the year, to save candidates' expenses in travelling, when Examiners were on their annual rounds of inspection of machinery work in the different districts. Examination-papers. —All the examinations are now uniform throughout. All examinationpapers are issued from my office in Wellington. This saves the Examiners' time, and leads to the better carrying-out of the work. Disputes. —No disputes or trouble of any kind have arisen during the year between either the department, Examiner, or candidate. And I can bear testimony to the zeal the ten Examiners throughout New Zealand have displayed in carrying-out the law to the letter. I have, &c, Eobert Duncan, Chief Examiner of Engineers. 2—H. 15.

The Principal Engineer-Surveyor of Steamers to the Secretary of the Marine Department. Principal Engineer Surveyor's Office, Queen's Chambers, Sir,— Wellington, 4th April, 1901. I have the honour to submit my annual report for the financial year ended 31st March, 1901. General. —During the year just closed a large amount of survey work has been overtaken, and the usual amount of repairs and defects discovered. In Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin all the time of one surveyor at each of these ports is taken up with this work alone. In Auckland considerable relief has been afforded by having non-condensing boats surveyed once a year instead of twice, as was the custom. Mishaps. —Several mishaps have occurred during the year to vessels in New Zealand waters, the principal being the total loss of s.s. "Taupo" on Greymouth Bar. The crew, however, were all saved. Broken stern-shafts and other minor defects in the engine-room have shown up, but nothing so serious as to detain vessels under repairs for any lengthened time. Instructions. —Specific instructions have been issued from time to time to all the surveyors re alteration and improvement in methods of survey, and the latest Board of Trade requirements are adopted, so that nothing may be wanting to make our system of providing for the public safety as complete as possible. Special attention is paid to the periodical withdrawal of stern-shafts and the testing of main steam-pipes. The usual yearly survey of steamers is a very thorough one, and our efforts are ably assisted by the officers of the various vessels by their having all obstacles removed, and all parts, as far as possible, thoroughly clean and dry. Shipping. —The steam shipping has increased during the year, and the improvements in speed and outfit have been very marked in recent arrivals. Government Steamers. —Considerable structural additions and repairs have been made to several of our Government steamers. A new boat deck has been fitted with patent detaching gear for boats for the C.G.S. " Hinemoa," which has facilitated the work of transport at the different stations very largely. A launch has been supplied to this vessel, and also to the C.G.S " Tutaneki." The steamers, torpedo-boats, &c, belonging to the Defence Department, have all been attended to, the work connected with these surveys alone is considerable, and is all unremunerative work to this department. Government Transports. —Several Government transports have been surveyed, their boats, distilling apparatus, machinery, and equipments being specially seen to. Excursions. —Excursion steamers have carried their passengers without mishap during the year, and the deep-sea boats have nearly all carried their full complement. The following table shows the number of steamers engaged in the respective trades, their tonnage, horse-power, and fees payable for survey :—

Appended is a table giving returns of steamers to which certificates of survey were issued in New Zealand during the year ended 31st March, 1901, including the names of steamers, tons register, horse-power, nature of machinery and propeller, also trade in which employed. I have, &c, Eobert Duncan, Principal Engineer Surveyor. The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington.

Nov. 3 (about) Wolverine, new vessel Schooner 42 9,000 ft. sawn timber Capsized; total loss 7; all hands Supposed off Cape Saunders, on voyage from Whangaroa to Bluff S.W. Heavy gale Vessel left Whangaroa on 21st October for Bluff, and, having met with heavy weather, put into Akaroa for water and stores. She was last seen off Cape Saunders on 3rd November, on evening of which day a heavy S.W. gale sprang up, and it is supposed that the vessel was struck by a squall, and that her cargo shifted owing to loose stowing, which would prevent her righting in a sea. On 28th December the s.s. "Nairnshire" came upon her as a derelict in lat. 43° 27' S., long. 177° 55' E., lying on her port side, both masts standing, no spars lost, and submerged from bows to main, having her after - rail about 20 ft. above water.

Strong gale Vessel's mooring-lines parted while moored to Petone Wharf, and she drifted on to adjacent beach Vessel was moored to wharf when gale came on. Moorings parted, and she could not get away from wharf, which was exposed to full force of wind and sea Casualty caused through vessel being unhandy to steer, and being taken on starboard quarter by ground swell while entering Patea River, slightly touching bar, and refusing to answer helm. No blame attached to master The vessels' courses were at right angles, and, being both small vessels, could not see, one another until they cleared the wharf, which was between them, when it was too late to avert collision Casualty caused through striking piles, which are out of original position owing to scour by recent floods Casualty caused by crooked channel on bar, and vessel not answering her helm quick enough The death of A.B. Sydney A. Cormack arose through deceased accidentally falling from the maintopsail-yard, and not through any defect in the rigging, tackle, or appliances of the ship, and that no blame is attached to any person in respect thereof Vessel encountered heavy weather, when her bulwarks were damaged and vessel strained.

Casualty caused through the windlass breaking. No blame attached to master, officers, or crew Heavy sea broke on board while attempting to cross bar off Mokau River, and water getting into the stokehold and engine-room lowered steam - pressure from 701b. to 501b., and rendered her unable to contend against seas rolling in. A coir tow rope washed overboard, also fouled the propeller. No blame to any one on board When getting under weigh the vessel did not wear as smartly as anticipated, and when nearing the beach-side of channel the anchor, which was not hove high enough, caught the ground, and the ebb tide shot the vessel up the beach Casualty caused through vessel not answering her helm, or helm not being put hard a-star-board by man at the wheel when the order was given Casualty solely attributable to error of judgment on part of second officer in keeping too far to the westward after passing the snout, having been deceived by the shadow. All certificates returned, and costs of inquiry, £2 14s., ordered to be paid by second officer, Frederick William Baron The master fell overboard while intoxicated, and was drowned Charles Brophy. 30 Douglas, s.s., 18 years Ketch .. 60 5 4 Coal ..

No blame attachable to master, officers, or crew, and recommend that new survey of locality should be made The "Karamea" incoming up to the wharf ran into the "Elingamite," which was berthed at the wharf; but the Court could not say how the accident occurred, and could not, therefore, attach blame to any one in the matter Master committed error of judgment in overestimating distance from lighthouse. The lead should have been used when heading in for the land Master committed grave error of judgment in not letting go anchor when vessel was drifting on to Spit, and he was ordered to pay half costs of inquiry Fire supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion of scoured wool shipped in a damp state. Vessel put into Port Chalmers for assistance Master guilty of grave error of judgment in not wearing his ship a mile or two sooner than he did.
