1913. NE W ZEALAND.
MARINE DEPARTMENT: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1912-13.
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency
My Lord, — Marine Department, Wellington, 14th August, 1913. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Marine Department of. the Dominion for the financial year ended the 31st March last. I have, &c, F. M. B. Fisher. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, K.C.M.G., M.V.0., Governor of New Zealand. Sir, — • Marine Department, Wellington, 26th May, 1913. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March last: — Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1912. This Act has been assented to by His Majesty the King, and came into force on the Ist instant. It embodies provisions of the Imperial Maritime Conventions Act which made alterations in the law regarding liability in cases of collision and as to salvage. It also makes certain amendments in the New Zealand Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, which authorize the Secretary of the Department to permit a home-trade ship to make a voyage without a certificated second mate on his being satisfied that one cannot be obtained without unduly detaining the ship. It also provides that a sick seaman belonging to a foreign-going ship trading beyond intercolonial limits shall not be discharged until it is known that he is not well enough to rejoin the ship before she leaves the Dominion, and makes better provision for the exercise of the crews of intercolonial and hometrade ships in boat drill. Harbours Amendment Act, 1912. This Act was passed to remedy certain defects in the law as regards the election of members of Harbour Boards in view of the biennial elections taking place in April, 1913. Several other amendments in the law relating to harbours are necessary, but there was not time to deal with these last session, and it is proposed to introduce another amending Bill during the coming session.

Mercantile Marine Officers. The duties connected with these officers have 'been performed very satisfactorily, and the Superintendents and their assistants are to be commended for the skill and tact with which the)' have carried out their important and increasing duties. A return which is appended shows the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the different ports, and the amounts of fees received for the engagements and discharges. The number of men engaged was 20,554, and the number discharged 20,378. The amount of fees received was £2,801 17s. In the previous year the engagements were 21,123, the discharges 19,749, and the fees received £2,891 7s. The transactions at the four principal ports were as follows :— Engagements. Discharges. « ' , Auckland ... ... ... 5,611 5,692 775 13 0 Wellington ... ... ... 6,930 7,152 932 12 0 Lyttelton ... ... ... 2,152 1,936 296 0 6 Dunedin and Port Chalmers ... 2,879 3,021 437 13 0 During the previous year they were as follows: — Auckland ..'. ... ... 6,305 6,191 870 1 6 Wellington ... ... ... 6.520 6,623 891 1 6 Lyttelton ... ... ... 2,311 1,929 317 19 6 Dunedin and Port Chalmers ... 3,081 2,648 399 18 6 The Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, empowers the Minister to withhold the certificates of discharge of seamen who desert from or fail to join their ships at the time of sailing for such time as he sees fit, and during the time they are withheld the men cannot ship in other vessels. This power is being exercised with salutary effect, and fewer men are absent at the time fixed for vessels to sail. The Shipping and Seamen x\mendment Act, 1911, empowers a Superintendent to accept an approved security for a sick seaman's wages, maintenance, and medical expenses, instead of a deposit being made in cash, and the practice of accepting such security is working well. It saves a shipowner "having to pay the money before it is required, and of having to deposit more than it may be found on the man's recovery is wanted. A vacancy in the Dunedin office has been filled by the appointment of Mr. H. F. Tomlinson, chief officer of the s.s. " Hinemoa," and one in the Wellington office by the appointment of Mr. W. Whiteford, clref officer of the s.s. " Tutanekai." P. G. Moffatt has been appointed Superintendent of Mercantile Marine at Motueka to enable seamen to be discharged before him. Proceedings in connection with seamen were taken by the Department in connection with the following cases with the results stated, viz. : The master of the scow " May," for carrying a seaman without entering into an agreement with him, fined £1 and costs; J. Hartley, Union Company's providore at Auckland, for transferring a steward from one ship to another without his being discharged from ship he was leaving, convicted and ordered to pay costs; P. Banfield, for making a false declaration that he was entitled to ship, fined £2 and costs; P. Lemon, for altering his discharge, sentenced to three months' imprisonment; J. H. Reed, for making a false declaration that he was entitled to ship, sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment; J. Cowan, master of s.s. " Himitangi," for not keeping a sailor on deck when at anchor in a harbour, fined 10s. and costs. Masters, Mates, and Engineers. The examination of candidates has been carried out satisfactorily at the various examination ports. 422 candidates have passed and 151 failed. Of those who passed, 241 were masters, mates, and engineers of seagoing ships, 54 were masters and engineers of steamships plying within restricted limits, 9 were masters of fishing-boats and of cargo-vessels up to 25 tons register, 13 were engineers of seagoing ships propelled by oil-engines or other mechanical power than steam, and 105 were engineers of similar vessels plying within restricted limits. Under the provisions of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, two certificates of service as master of oilengine boats up to 6 tons register, and two as engineer of such vessels, were issued during the year. These with the certificates issued during the previous year make the numbers granted 792 as master and 772 as engineer. There will, however, be no more, as the time within which they can be given has expired. The following persons have been prosecuted by the Department for offences connected with certificates, viz. : W. Taupo, owner of launch, for running the boat without certificated master or engineer, fined £1 and costs; T. Wahanga, for similar offence, fined 10s. and costs; H- McCormick, for similar offence, fined £1 and costs. The report of the Chief Examiner of Masters and Mates is appended. Registration of Shipping. Returns are appended showing the vessels registered in New Zealand on the 31st December last, and the number of seamen and boys employed on them. These show that on that date there were 242 sail ; ng-ships of 34,308 registered tonnage, and 374 steamships of 121,772 tors register, as against 244 sailing-ships of 35,651 tons register, and 361 steamships of 114,973 tons register on the 31st December, 1911. The number of seamen and boys employed on board at the end of 1912 was 4,983, as compared with 5,268 at the end of the previous year.

Survey of Ships. During the year certificates were issued after survey to 337 steamers, 537 oil-engine vessels, and 119 sailing-vessels, as compared with 252 steamers, 166 oil-engine vessels, and 89 sailingvessels during the previous year. The following limits have been defined to be river and extended river limits : — Great Barrier Island : River limits for Port Abercrombie and Port Fitzroy to be ins'de a right line drawn from the outermost point of Green Island to Wellington Heads, thence to False Head; and for Port Tryphena inside a right line drawn from the outermost point of the easternmost head to the outermost point of the north-western head. The extended river limits for the island are within a radius of three nautical miles from it. Mokau : River limits, inside the bar. Tairua : River limits, inside Paku Head; and extended river limits, inside a line drawn from mainland immediately to eastward of most south-eastern points of Rabbit Island, thence to north-western point of Slipper Island, thence to most northeastern point of Shoe Island, and thence westward to the mainland. Opotiki : River limits, inside the bar; extended river limits, three miles outside the bar. Porirua : Ohau, extended river limits for fishing-vessels, between Porirua Harbour and Ohau River. Timaru: River limits, inside breakwater; extended river limits, within a radius of three miles from outer end of southern breakwater, and extended river limits for fishing-vessels within a radius of twenty miles from breakwater. Otago : Extended river limits for fishing-vessels, within a radius of thirty miles from Taiaroa Head Lighthouse. The following fire-extinguishing appliances have been approved for use on motor-boats, viz. : " Kyi Fyre," "Vanguard," and " Pyrene." Proceedings have been taken by the Department for the following breaches of the law in connection with survey certificates, viz. : I. Fletcher, master of scow " Magic," for carrying passengers without a passenger certificate, fined £1 and costs; H. S. Beer, for running his oil-launch beyond prescribed limits, fined £3 and costs; C. A. Spencer, master of s.s. " Minerva," for carrying more passengers than allowed by vessel's certificate, fined £1 7s. and costs; T. W. Hamilton, master of the s.s. " Ngapuhu," for carrying more passengers than allowed by his certificate, fined £5 and costs; W. Walker, for running his launch for hire without a survey certificate, fined £2 and costs; W. McNeil, for running .his launch without life-saving appliances, convicted but no fine imposed. Deck Cargo Regulations. The regulations have been amended to provide that the decks on which cargo may be carried are the main deck and the working-deck, provided the latter is the next deck above the main deck. J. Broadhouse, master of the s.s. " Breeze," has been fined £1 and costs for not notifying the Superintendent of the shipment of deck cargo. Wireless Telegraphy on Ships. Section 50 of the Shipping and Se.amen Amendment Act, 1909, provides that the Governor in Council nay make regulations requiring ships registered in New Zealand and carrying passengers to be provided with apparatus for transmitting messages by means of wireless telegraphy, and the necessary regulations are now being prepared. • Deceased, Seamen's Estates. The estates of thirty-three deceased seamen have been dealt with during the year. The amount received on account of them was £406 7s. 3d., and the amount paid to relatives and other claimants was £338. 17s. lOd. The sum of £49 17s. 10d., which had remained unclaimed for over six years, was paid into the Public Account. Particulars of the estates are given in the appended return. Wrecks and Casualties. During the year ninety-four inquiries into casualties to ships were held, eighty-six of them being preliminary and eight Magisterial inquiries. Tables showing the casualties reported and s.n analysis thereof are appended. Those on or near the coasts of New Zealand numbered 103, representing 45,001 tons register, as compared with 105, of 46,815 tons, in the previous year. The number of lives lost was thirty-three, as compared with two in the previous year. Included in the lives lost are twenty-five, being the master, officers, and crew of the dredge "Manchester," which left Wellington for Sydney, N.S.W., on the 6th April, 1912, and which has not since been heard of. Coastal Surreys and Dangers. Whilst the Antarctic ship " Terra Nova " was in New Zealand last year the Department arranged with Lieutenant Pennell, R.N., who was in charge of her, to make a survey of the coast between the French Pass and Jackson's Head; but want of time prevented the whole of the work being carried out. A very complete survey was, however, made in the vicinity of the French Pass and Admiralty Bay, a chart of which has been sent to the Hydrographer to the Admiralty in order that the results may be shown on the Admiralty charts. Two oil-launches were chartered by the Department, one of which was used by Lieutenant Pennell and the other by Lieutenant Renwick, R.N., of the " Terra Nova," who was associated with him in the work.

The s.s. " Hinemoa " took soundings at Mercury Bay in connection with the erection of leading-beacons, off the Western King, in connection with the proposal to moor a lightship there, and at Tauranga in connection with laying buoys. She also searched unsuccessfully for a rock reported off Clay Point. Nautical Publications. The Nautical Almanac for 1913 was issued in November last, and the large number of copies sold proves the value and popularity of the work. A large number of the ABC Azimuth Tables prepared by Captain Blackburne and issued by the Department have also been sold, as well as a very large number of Admiralty charts. These charts are imported by the Department and are kept for sale at Mercantile Marine Offices at a little over cost-price. Notices to Mariners. Appended is a return of the Notices to Mariners affecting the Dominion which have been issued by the Department during the year and distributed throughout New Zealand, to the Australian Marine authorities, the Admiralty, and foreign hydrographic offices. In addition to these notices a large number received from Great Britain, the United States, and Australia have been issued for the information of mariners. Meteorological and Weather Office. During the year the number of forecast-stations has been more than doubled, and wireless weather reports have been obtained from vessels, but they have not come up to expectations, mainly owing to the ships not being generally equipped with standard instruments. The wireless reports received from Macquarie Island have, however, proved of value in connection with forecasting the weather. The new observatory erected on the Thorndon Esplanade, Wellington, was opened by the Minister of Marine on the 6th June last. The Public Works Department is supplying a number of rain-gauges which it is distributing to places from which it desires to obtain rainfall records, and arrangements have been made that these records are to be supplied to the Meteorological Office. I attach a report by the Rev. Mr. Bates, the Director of the Meteorological Office. Government Steamers. The " Hinemoa " has carried out her usual work of attending to the lighthouses, buoys, and beacons under the control of the Department, and has performed the work very satisfactorily. She also made a special trip to Nelson with mental-asylum patients. She is now thirtyseven years old, and has been nearly all the time in use. Although she has been kept in a good state of repair, she cannot be expected to last much longer. In fact, it would not be advisable now to send her to the Southern Islands, where very bad weather is sometimes met with. It would, in my opinion, be advisable to take a vote during the coming session for part of the cost of a new steamer, so that tenders may be invited and a contract for building one may be entered into. A steamer should be designed specially for lighthouse and buoy work, with separate quarters for lightkeepers, but not much other passenger accommodation, and she should have good cargo-carrying capacity. For some time past it has been the practice to engage seamen for the " Hinemoa " at the four principal ports only, but it has been found impossible to get sufficient suitable men who are accustomed to boating at those ports. As the vessel has so much boating to do in connection with landing oil and stores at lighthouses, there is great danger of loss of life if the seamen are not men experienced in this work, and as men with the necessary experience can often be got at the smaller ports when not obtainable at the large ports, it has been decided that the master may in future obtain the most suitable men at any port at which he can get them. The Department has made a two-years agreement with the Seamen's Union, similar to the agreement which the Union has with the principal shipowners, as to the rate of wages, overtime, &c, of the crews of the s.s. "Hinemoa," " Tutanekai," and "Amokura." Under this agreement the hours of labour in port are to be eight hours a day, and on the days of arrival and departure the sea watches are to count are part of the eight hours. As the vessels are deemed to be in port when anchored off a lighthouse, the increase in the amount that has to be paid in overtime in the case of the " Hinemoa " is considerable. During last winter the training-ship "Amokura" was, as usual, moored in Wellington Harbour, and in addition to undergoing the usual training on board the boys attended instruction classes at the Technical School. As soon as she has finished attending on the battleship " New Zealand " she will be moored in the harbour for the winter for the same purposes. The Technical School classes will in future be held in the building purchased by the Department on the Thorndon Esplanade, which, being near the ship, will be much more convenient and will avoid the necessity of the boys having to walk a considerable distance through the streets to school. In addition to her ordinary training cruises the ship has made trips to the Southern Islands and to the Kermadec Islands to search for castaways and to inspect the provision depots which are maintained on those islands for shipwrecked mariners. It is clear that shipowners recognize the value of the training the boys receive on the ship, as there is no difficulty in obtaining employment for them on other vessels as soon as they have completed their training. So far as can be ascertained, most of them remain at sea. As most of the work which the " Tutanekai " has to perform is in connection with telegraphoable laying and repairing, she has been handed over to the Post and Telegraph Department.

Lighthouses. The erection of the lighthouse at Castle Point has been completed, and the light was exhibited on the 12th January last. The light is a second-order group flashing white incandescent oil light, flashing at intervals of forty-five seconds with intervals of eight seconds between each group flash. The light is a very good one indeed, and is visible in clear weather at a distance of 19_- miles. A signal-station is maintained in connection with the light, and it is connected with the telegraph system of the Dominion. An automatic acetone acetylene light has been erected on one of the Chickens Islands in the Hen and Chickens Group. It was exhibited on the 28th ultimo. It is 3,500 Hefiner candle-power white light, flashing light for one-quarter second followed by three and one-twelfth second darkness, thus showing eighteen flashes a minute. It is 480 ft. above the sea, and is visible in clear weather at a distance of twenty-seven miles. A similar light of less power is being procured for erection on Channel Islet, near Cape Colville, and the work of making a track from the landing-place up to the site and of preparing the site is now being put in hand. A similar but more powerful light than that on the Chickens has been ordered for erection on Karori Rock, in Cook Strait. Incandescent lights are now installed at sixteen lighthouses, the apparatus for two more is at the lighthouses ready to be installed as soon as the lighthouse expert is available, and apparatus for eight more is on the way out from England. These installations, besides giving a much better light than the oil-burners, soon pay for themselves by the saving in the oil used. An automatic acetone acetylene light has been installed in the Bean Rock Lighthouse in place of the watched oil light, and the lighthouse has been handed over to the Auckland Harbour Board, which is now maintaining it. * During the year I have inspected the lighthouses at Godley Head, Akaroa Head, Moeraki, Taiaroa Head, Cape Saunders, Waipapapa Point, Dog Island, Centre Island, Anglem Point, Puysegur Point, Cape Foulwind, Farewell Spit, Stephens Island, Brothers, Castle Point, Portland Island, East Cape, Cuvier Island, Ponui Passage, Tiritiri, Mokohinou, Cape Brett, Cape Maria van Diemen, and Kaipara Head, and Captain Bollons, of the s.s. " Hinemoa," has made inspections on the vessel's periodical trips round with stores and oil. I found the stations well kept and the keepers carrying out their duties satisfactorily. One Principal Keeper retired on superannuation during the year, and nine assistants resigned. One was transferred to another lighthouse owing to the installation of an automatic light in the lighthouse where he was stationed. Twelve new appointments were made to fill the vacancies and to provide keepers for the new lighthouse at Castle Point. New contracts have been let for carrying the mails between Auckland, Cuvier Island, and Mokohinou, and between the French Pass and Stephens Island. Permission has been granted to the Postal Department to erect a lineman's cottage on the lighthouse reserve at Puysegur Point. The lighthouses are now supplied with Morse lamps and flags to enable messages to be given to and received from passing vessels, and a Notice to Mariners has been issued stating that such messages can be received and despatched. On request being made to the keepers by signal from vessels, messages are wired to their destination by collect telegram from lighthouses which are connected by telephone. In order that the keepers may get proper practice in making signals it has been decided to supply each station with a second signal lamp so that they may practice at giving and receiving messages. The following works have been carried out at lighthouses : — Manukau North Head : A new road has been made. Bean Rock : An automatic light has been installed. Ponui Passage : Repairs to the tower have been carried out. Cuvier Island : A new fence has been erected. East Cape : Coppers have been put in the washhouses. Kaipara Head : The cart-shed has been shifted. Cape Campbell: The road has been improved. Akaroa Head : Fences have been erected. Moeraki : The assistant keeper's house has been reroofed and the stable and cart-shed rebuilt. Taiaroa Head : The floors of the dwellings have been renewed. Nelson : The assistant keeper's house has been repaired. Waipapapa Point: The garden fences have been renewed The amount of light dues collected during the year was £41,406-7s. 4d., as compared with £38,232 Os. lid. during the previous year. Fog-signals. The explosive fog-signals at Pencarrow Head, Godley Head, and Cuvier Island have been properly maintained, and have been of considerable value to ships. Falling pieces of rock have damaged the track which goes down the cliff to the signal at Godley Head, and as rock frequently falls on the road, making it dangerous for the men to go down to work the signal, it is proposed to make a new road down at a place where rock cannot fall on to it. Repairs have been made to the signals at Pencarrow Head and Taiaroa Head. Rarbours. The s.s. "Hinemoa" has continued to overhaul and paint the buoys and beacons in the harbours under the control of the Department, and they are all in good order. New leadingbeacons have been erected at Mercury Bay. The erection of the acetylene light at Shelly Beach, in Kaipara Harbour, has been completed, but there has since been a good deal of trouble with it, and it is not yet working satisfactorily. Steps are being taken to erect a beacon at Beacon Reach, on the Wairoa River, Kaipara, and it is intended to put a light on it.

During the time the Kauri Timber Company held a license to occupy a site for its sawmill a,t Kohukohu it reclaimed a piece of foreshore by the deposit of slabs and sawdust. It has now moved its mill, and as its license has expired the reclaimed land belongs to this Department. The breastwork round it is decaying and needs renewing, and as the land is valuable it is advisable that a new breastwork should be constructed and that the land should then be cut up and leased. There is also a wharf abutting on the reclamation which it would pay the Department to repair and lease. The timber breastwork which the Department constructed on the up-river side of the Kohukohu public wharf has been completed, but it needs extending a little further up, and when this is done it will not cost much to reclaim the foreshore inside the wall. In fact, I think it could be cut up into sections and leased subject to the condition that the lessees should reclaim, as the land would be valuable, being right in the business part of the township. The Department has contributed half the cost of an automatic light which the Whangarei Harbour Board has erected at the entrance to Whangarei Harbour, as the light is of benefit to small coastal vessels seeking shelter. Blumine Island, at the entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound, was made a reserve for pilot and signal-station purposes many years ago, but as it is not likely to be required for those purposes this Department has consented to the request of the Lands Department that the purpose of the reserve should be changed to one for scenery-preservation. For many years past £50 per annum has been paid to the Takaka County Council for maintaining leading-lights at Waitapu. During the year the Council satisfied the Department that this sum was not sufficient to defray the cost, and the amount has therefore been increased to £75 a year. Mr. R. C. Honore, who was paid £10 a year for acting as signalman at Marakopa, has resigned in consequence of leaving the district, and Mr. Willison has been appointed in his place at the same salary. Harbour Boards have been constituted by Act of Parliament for Tauranga and Opunake, and the Governor in Council has, under the provisions of the Counties Act, declared that the Mangonui County Council shall exercise the powers of a Board in Mangonui Harbour. These harbours, which have hitherto been administered by this Department, are therefore now under the control of the Boards. The Governor in Council disallowed a by-law made by the Auckland Harbour Board which provided that questions relating to the Board's business could only be asked upon notice being given not later than three days before any ordinary meeting of the Board. The following prosecutions for offences in connection with harbours were instituted by the Department, viz. : W. Bedding, W. Hayward, and J. Morrall, for taking shingle from the foreshore near the mouth of the Waingongoro River without a license : the first two were each fined £3 and costs, and the last-mentioned £1 and costs. W. Fraser and J. Pelly, for taking gravel from the foreshore of Waiheke Island : a fine of £5 with costs was imposed in each case. R. H. Davis, for taking sand and shell from Takapuna beach : a fine of £5 with costs was imposed. The sum of £1,786 17s. has been collected for pilotage and port charges in respect of harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £1,946 17s. lOd. during the previous year. A return showing the ports at which these charges were collected, and also the pilotage and port charges collected at ports under the control of Harbour Boards, is appended. A return of harbour-works approved by the Governor in Council and of licenses to occupy foreshores is also appended. Fisheries. The rock-oyster beds in the Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Islands were picked by the Department during last year's open season between the Ist May and the 31st October, and 7,728 sacks of oysters were taken and sold for £5,212. The cost of picking and selling, including interest and depreciation on the cost of the oil-launches used by the Inspectors of Fisheries in connection with the picking, was £4,065 2s. 10d., which left a net profit of £1,146 17s. 2d. Part of this profit was used in replanting areas on Rabbit and Long Islands, and at Kikowhakariri' and Coromandel, which became depleted of oysters by overpicking before the Department took over the picking. Of the 7,728 sacks of oysters picked, 756 were sold to persons in Russell, 6,836 to persons in Auckland, 199 in. New Plymouth, 154 in Gisborne, 82 in Napier, 37 in Wellington, 28 in Hokitika, 17 in Greymouth, 11 in Westport, 4 in Patea, 2 in Wanganui, 1 in Waitara, and 1 in Te Kopuru. Last season we were able to meet the demand for oysters during the whole season, and from the appearance of the beds, which 1 went over when in the north in February last, I have no doubt that -we shall be able to meet all demands for oysters this year. The manner in which the beds are looked after reflects great credit on the Inspectors for the Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Islands, where the principal beds are situated. Some of the beds in Hokianga Harbour have been set apart for the use of the Maoris, from which they may take oysters for food at any time of the year. A close season has been prescribed for two years for the oyster-beds between Albatross Point and Urenui Stream. The oyster-beds in Foveaux Strait yielded sufficient oysters last season to meet the demand. Of the quantity taken, 378,896 dozen,, valued at £2,984, were exported to Australia, and 1,143,237 dozen, valued at £7,700, were disposed of in New Zealand. Experience has justified the action of the Department in altering the open season, to be from the Ist March to the 31st October instead of from the Ist February to the 30th September.

The canning of the toheroa, a shell-fish, which is found in large quantities on the sandy beaches between Kaipara North Head and Mongonui Bluff, is becoming an important industry, and the question of leasing the right to take them on sections of the foreshores and of making a close season for the time the fish are out of condition at spawning-time is under consideration. The report of the Chief Inspector, Mr. Ayson, which gives detailed information regarding the fisheries, and a return of prosecutions for breaches of the law regarding fish, are appended. Whaling. During the year a great many whaling-vessels, principally Norwegian, came to the Dominion tor the purpose of whaling, but apparently they did not meet with the success expected, as most ot them have left for other countries. During last session of Parliament an Act was passed to enable regulations to govern the industry to be made, and to grant licenses for the establishment at shore factories. The necessary regulations under the Act are now being prepared. Seals. The close season for seals has been extended until the 30th June, 1913. The Governments of Great Britain, the United States, Japan, and Russia having entered into a Convention in regard to the killing, hunting, and taking of seals in the seas within such part of the Pacific Ocean as is north of the thirtieth parallel of north latitude, including the seas of Behring, Kamchatka, and Japan, the Imperial Parliament passed an Act in 1912 to enable effect to be given to the Convention. Section 3 of this Act provides penalties for using any port within the United Kingdom for fitting out ships for illegally taking seals in any prohibited area in the seas mentioned, and for the seizure of ships that are being fitted out for the purpose, and the seizure of the skins of seals illegally taken. The Act also provides that His Majesty may by Order in Council extend the provisions of sections 3 and 4 to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Newfoundland, on the Governor in Council consenting to such extension being made. The Governor in Council has consented to the extension of the provisions referred to being made to New Zealand, and the Secretary of State for the Colonies has been notified of this. Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery. Mr. Anderton, curator of this hatchery, was sent to England last August to bring out a shipment of herring-ova and some live fish, lobsters, and crabs; the lobsters and crabs being to renew the breeding-stock at the hatchery, and during the time he was away his assistant, Mr. W. Adams, took charge of the hatchery. Mr. Anderton left England with 60,000 herringova, 300 live turbot, 43 lobsters, and 50 crabs, and he landed at Port Chalmers 200 turbot, 41 lobsters, and 43 crabs, which are doing well at the hatchery. Unfortunately, the attempt to introduce the herring was not successful, but this was through no fault of Mr. Anderton, who did all that could be done to ensure success. The failure of the attempt should not, in my opinion, deter the Department from making another attempt at some future time. 1 append a very full and interesting report by Mr. Anderton on the shipment. Reports on the hatchery by Mr. G. M. Thomson, Chairman of the Board which manages it, and by Mr. Anderton, curator, are appended. Fishery Regulations. The following alterations have been made in the Fishery Regulations during the year, viz. : Prescribing that whitebait-nets with an opening of not more than 8 square feet may be used in the Motueka and Moutere Rivers and in the rivers and streams in Hawke's Bay, such nets to be stiffened with wire hoops fixed on poles; prescribing the period from the Ist'November in one year to the 31st August in the following year to be a close season for whitebait in the Waikato River and its tributaries; prescribing a three-years close season for oysters on the west coast of the North Island between Albatross Point and the mouth of the Uranui Stream; providing that licenses to net trout in the New River estuary shall be issued to bona fide fishermen only; and providing that it shall be illegal to take blue-cod of a less length than 10J in. in the natural state or not less than 9 in. when properly headed. The Chief Inspector has been out in fishing-boats to obtain information as to the decrease or otherwise of blue-cod and as to the best way of preventing undersized fish being taken and destroyed. He is now preparing a report on the subject. The taking of kingfish by rod and line is becoming quite common sport in the north, many persons coming to the Dominion for the purpose. There have been unusually large shoals of maumau in the north during the past summer, and fine catches have been made. The following persons have been appointed Inspectors of Sea-fishing, viz. : F. J. Flinn, H. T. Leydon, J. M. Irwin, and three members of the Police Force. Salmon. It is now two years since the last shipment of Atlantic salmon-ova was obtained from England, and I think it is advisable that another shipment should be procured next season. The fry from two shipments already made were liberated in Lake Te Anau for the purpose of stocking the Waiau River, but it is yet too soon for the fish to return from the sea, and therefore there is no evidence whether the attempt to introduce them has been successful. The only way to ensure success is to liberate the fry from several shipments of ova, as was done in the case of the quinnat salmon liberated in the Waitaki River, Last season 237,000 quinnat-ova were

collected in the tributaries of the Waitaki, of which 190,000 were hatched in the Hokitika River, 27,500 were sent to Tasmania, 12,000 were lost during hatching, and the fry from 7,500 were kept in the ponds at the Hakataramea Station. In December, 1901, the Department obtained a shipment of sockeye salmon-ova from Canada, and the fry from them were liberated in Lake Ohau. On the manager of the salmon-station at Hakataramea visiting this lake on the 29th March last he found, in a small spring creek which flows into the lake near the mouth of the Maitland Creek, between twenty and thirty spawning fish, which he identified as sockeye salmon, and the next day he found in a spring creek flowing into the Dobson River about thirty more of these fish. All the fish had finished spawning. They were covered with fungus, and were in a dying condition. They ranged in size from 8 in. to 10 in., and in weight from half to three-quarters of a pound. This is one of the most valuable of the salmon, and it is very satisfactory to find that the attempt to introduce it intc the Dominion has been successful. Marine Engineer. The report of Mr. 11. W. Holmes, Marine Engineer, on matters dealt with during the year is appended. I have, &c, The Hon. Minister of Marine, Wellington. George Allport, Secretary. The Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates to the Secretary, Marine Department. Office of the Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates, Sir, — Customhouse, Wellington, 13th May, 1913. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the examination of masters and mates in New Zealand for the year ended on 31st March last. The work, as usual, has been carried out by the Examiners at the four principal ports in a satisfactory manner. I visited the Lyttelton and Dunedin examination-rooms during the year and found everything in very satisfactory order. There has been only a slight increase during the last twelve months in the number of candidates who have presented themselves for examination for masters and mates, and there was a very marked falling-off in the number of applicants after January of this year, when some new and more difficult forms of questions in connection with the problems given in the chart examination-work were brought in for the first time. There has, however, been an increase this year of 26 per cent, in the number of successful passes. The candidates in all grades have done better this year, and instead of 50 per cent, of failures in the whole number of examinations, as was the case in the previous year, this year the failures were only 40f per cent, on the whole, and 51| per cent, for the foreign-going candidates against 64J per cent, of the previous year. The few foreign-going candidates who have gone up since the beginning of this year have managed the new chart-work problems very well. One candidate only presented himself for examination for extra master and failed. The majority of candidates now voluntarily take the higher standard of form-vision, which will come into force for all candidates when passing their first examination after the Ist January, 1914, and so far the candidates appear to have passed this test successfully. I have, &c, H. S. Blackburne, Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates. The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. The Director, Meteorological Office, to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir,— Wellington, 13th May, 1913. The usual 9 a.m. meteorological observations taken throughout the Dominion are now reported in Wellington in time for the issue of the telegraphic weather report at 10 a.m. This is then immediately telegraphed to most of the principal ports in the country. This promptitude on the part of the Telegraph Office has been maintained with wonderful regularity throughout the year. The reports can be delivered at £1 per annum by application to the Secretary of the General Post Office, and shipping people and others are now availing themselves of this privilege. During the year the number of weather-forecast stations has been more than doubled, and the present number of places supplied with the morning forecast is 101 in the North Island and ninety-nine in the South, and one to Stewart Island. A new code, comprised of words of four letters, was compiled to changes of wind, weather, barometer, seas, tides, &c. This has proved highly satisfactory, and it is hoped shortly to have it somewhat extended and printed. The copies hitherto in use were typewritten and reproduced by duplication on a " Gestetner " in the office.

The morning forecast is the principal one issued, but afternoon weather reports from twentyfour stations are issued as the basis of a move general forecast for the benefit of readers of the morning papers. The observations are taken at 4 p.m., and arc usually al! in about 5 o'clock. This report is handed freely to the New Zealand Times and the Dominion newspapers, but it is telegraphed daily at the expense of other papers —viz., the Auckland Herald, Napier Herald, Christehurch Press, Lyttelton Times, Otago Daily Times, and the Southland Times. Summaries and forecasts are also sent daily, except on Saturdays, Sundays evenings, and Government holidays, to the following journals:' Herald, Auckland; Times, Gisborne; Herald, Napier; News, New Plymouth; Chronicle, Wanganui; Times, Palmerston North; Age, Masterton; Colonist, Nelson; News, Westport; Argus, Greymouth; Times, Hokitika; Times, Christchurch; Press, Christehurch; Herald, Timaru; Times, Oamaru; Times, Dunedin; Times, Invercargill: and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to the Mail, Ashburton, and the Times, Waimate. These reports, summaries, and forecasts go at press rates through the Press Association of New Zealand. . The new Wellington Observatory was opened on the Gtli June, 1912, on ground rented from the Wellington City Council at os. per annum, and the grass and paths are to be kept in order at a further charge of £1. The site is a very good one, but, though protected as far as possible, the fence has not proved insuperable to mischievous persons, who have on more than one occasion spoiled the records of the exposed instruments. The equipment of the observatory is fairly complete but an instrument to record wind-directions has not yet arrived, though ordered some time ago m Melbourne. The records of the automatic instruments have proved most useful, and have been referred to on several occasions to decide matters in dispute Ihe Dine s anemometer established at the new wireless station on Mount Etako has furnished very interesting results, showing nearly double velocity at that height above the city. The office equipment has also been improved by the addition of a comptometer and a Gestetner dunhcating-mac q hine. The work of the office during the past few years has grown so much that on£ experlnce and constant effort upon the part of each member of the staff enables the work to be kept up satisfactorily. .

Q Dim , tor The Chief Inspector of Fisheries to the Secretary, Marine Department. Wellington, 25th April, 1913. " IR ' I have the honour to supply the following report on the fisheries for the year ending 31st March. Durine the year 1 visited the fisheries at Bay of Islands, Kaipara, Whangarei Great Barrier, Hauraki Gulf Hawke's Bay, Wellington District, Marlborough Sounds, Nelson, Canterbury District Otaeo District Southland, and Stewart Island. I inspected and reported on the Taupo and Rotorua trout-fisheries at the request of the Minister for the Department of Internal Affairs. I also held the following inquiries : one at Christehurch, in connection with the question of nettmglimits in Lake Ellesmere; one at Invercargill, along with the Collector of Customs, m connection with the netting of trout in the New River estuary; and one at Bluff, with the Commissioner of Crown Lands for Southland, with regard to the size-limit for blue cod. During the year I paid several visits to the Portobello Marine Station; and also the salmon-station at Hakataramea, where I assisted with the collection of salmon and trout eggs last spawning season,

With regard to the sea-fisheries : Commencing in the far North, the Inspector at Russell reports that all kinds of marketable fish have been plentiful, especially mullet. Mr. Walker, the proprietor of the mullet-cannery at Awanui, states that these fish have been more plentiful this year than any time during the past twenty years. The whaling season has been a fairly successful one for the two firms engaged in it at Bay of Islands. Messrs. Cook and Jagger captured twenty-seven humpback whales at their Whangamumu station, and the New Zealand Whaling Company (Norwegian) finished up their operations at Bay of Islands, the total number of whales of all kinds taken by them both south and north being 133. The number of fishing-boats licensed at Russell for the year ending 31st December last, including five Norwegian whalers, was fifty-five, with a total crew of 207. The oyster-beds are in good condition. Last season the picking continued for five months, the beds yielding a total of 3,430 sacks. Hokianga. —The number of fishing-boats licensed for the year was fourteen. The Inspector reports fish fairly plentiful and in good condition. All fish caught at the present time are sold locally. Kaipara. —Mullet, schnapper, flounder, and trevalli are the principal fish caught, and the Inspector reports that these fish have been plentiful during the year. There are two mulletcanneries in the district, but most of the fish is sent to the Auckland market. He thinks the rock-oyster beds are in about the same condition as they were last year. A good deal of attention is now being given to the toheroa. The demand for this shell-fish, of which there is a large supply along the west coast, is increasing every year. Two canning-factories are now operating near the beach at the back of Aratapu and Te Kopuru, and the output from these meets with a ready sale. > Manukau. —Forty-two fishing-boats were licensed last year. The take of fish for the twelve months was about the average of what has been obtained from this fishery during the last two or three years. Hauraki Gulf and Thames. —lnspector Bennett reports as follows : Schnapper, which is the principal market fish, have been fairly plentiful. Flounders also fairly plentiful, but fishermen at the Thames have suffered considerable loss through jellyfish blocking their nets : at times they were so plentiful that netting was impossible. Mullet he reports as being very scarce; trevalli very plentiful outside a line from Cape Colville to Kawau and up the coast past Whangaruru and the Poor Knights. On the whole the Auckland market has been well supplied with fish during the year; any scarcity which may have prevailed at times was due to unfavourable weather-conditions. In Auckland there are eight fish-curing establishments, and canning and bottling mussels is now carried on at Tapu, Waimate Island, and Coromandel. At the latter place a well-equipped canning-factory has been started during the year by Messrs. A. R. McNiel and Co. A system of long-lining for schnapper and other hook-and-line fish has now been adopted by a number of the Hauraki Gulf fishermen, and it is a great improvement on the single handlines generally used. The oyster-beds are steadily improving all over the gulf. Last season the beds picked were those on the islands and reefs off Kawau Island, Mahurangi, Waiwera Island, and Whangaparaoa. These beds supplied all the oysters required for market, and kept the pickers employed for the six months' season. The quantity picked was 4,298 sacks. Gisborne. —The Collector of Customs reports that thirteen boats were-licensed to fish during the year, and the supply of fish brought in from the local grounds was not quite up to that of the previous year. Hawke's Bay. —Eight vessels over 5 tons register and sixty under 5 tons were licensed to fish during the year. Trawlers and net fishermen report flat fish as scarce, but round fish, such as schnapper, tarakihi, moki, &c, as plentiful. The Collector at Napier gives tho total value of fish brought in at £22,000. The weather-conditions during the year have been favourable, and on the whole those employed in connection with the industry have had a successful year. The estimated value of the fish cured at the two curing establishments is £500. Kaikoura. —The local Inspector reports that fishing during the year has been very satisfactory. Hapuku, trumpeter, tarakihi, butterfish, moki, crayfish, .vc, have been plentiful, and very good catches have been made. Wellington and District. —The report from the Inspector at Foxton is to the effect that all kinds of fish usually caught in the tideway have been scarce this season. The whitebait season was a very short one, and fishermen state that it has been the worst for several years. Flounders have also been scarce, and only about half the quantity has. been caught as compared with last year. In the opinion of fishermen the reason of the decrease is the extra amount of wash from the flax-mills which has been discharged into the river owing to the mills working night and day. Good catches of schnapper and cod have been made during the summer by boats which have worked outside. During the year the catches from the local fishing-grounds have, on the whole, been fairly good. When the weather-conditions were favourable good catches of hapuku and other line fish have been made in the Strait and other grounds. Fishermen find that along the edges of the deep depressions which exist in Cook Strait fish are to be had in abundance, and with favourable weather and tide-conditions they seldom fail to make good catches,

The trawler "Energy" has fished for the greater part of the year from Wellington, principally in Cloudy Bay. The steam trawlers "Nora Niven " and "Countess" have lately come down from Napier and have fished the grounds in Palliser Bay, Tasman and Golden Bays, and off Kapiti Island. Wellington Municipal Fish-market. —The market was opened on the 4th October last, and since that date about 40 tons of fish, consisting of all the principal market varieties, has been received and disposed of. The object of the market is to allow the fishermen to deal directly with the consumer. The manager states, however, that so far it has not received the support of the small fishermen that it deserves. The Municipality merely receives, and sells the fish sent in, charging 10 per cent, commission on sales. It does not purchase any fish, and accepts no responsibility. The uncertainty of the supply of fish which has so far come forward has no doubt prevented the public from patronizing the market as well as they otherwise would have done. Nelson. —The fishing during the past year has been better than for several previous seasons, the supply obtained during the winter months being particularly good. After supplying the local requirement most of the surplus fish is sent down the west coast to Westport, Greymouth, and Hokitika. Westport. —The run of whitebait in the Buller River last season is reported to have been particularly good, but the catches of other market fish have shown a considerable falling-off. Marlborough Sounds and South Coast of Cook Strait. —These fisheries continue to supply a large quantity of the fish required for the Wellington market. During the past twelve months fair catches have been made, and the total quantity shipped to Wellington has been rather better than during the two previous seasons. Fishermen complain of the decrease of fish in certain parts of the Sounds, and most of the fish is now caught out in the Strait. The principal fish caught are blue cod, hapuku, moki, garfish, tarakihi, butterfish, warehou, flounders, and herrings. Some very good catches of blue cod have been made, and the fish all the season have been in excellent condition. Canterbury District. —Owing to frequent floods in the Waiinakariri- River, the run of whitebait was unusually poor last season. On the other hand, in the smaller rivers which are not snow-fed the run was exceptionally good. The supply of sea-fish from the local grounds has been unsteady, caused, no doubt, by the frequent gales which have been experienced during the year. The fish-supply at the Christehurch market has in the aggregate been equal to the previous years, but it has been unsteady, no doubt due to the unfavourable weather, which prevented fishermen, sometimes for more than a week at a time, from going out. A large quantity of the fish-supply for the Christehurch market is now obtained from Timaru. The quantity brought into this port during the year has shown a steady increase. There are now eighteen large oil-launches and one steam trawler working from Timaru. Several of the larger launches are fitted with the Otter trawling-gear and are able to work successfully on the same ground as the steam trawler. Hapuku, flounders, soles, tarakihi, ling, kingfish, and red cod are the principal fish taken. Otago District. —From information received from fishermen at the various fishing-places along the coast, the quantity of fish landed during the year ended 31st March last has been quite equal to what was marketed in 1910-11. The information I got from fishermen at Oamaru was to the effect that the season had been noted for strong winds and stormy weather, but, notwithstanding this, the total quantity of fish brought in was about the average for this port. At Moeraki fair catches were made of all kinds of fish when the weather-conditions were favourable. During the winter some exceptional'hauls of hapuku were made well off shore in from 50 to 90 fathoms. On the whole the season has been an average one. Here as well as at Oamaru fishermen complain of the high price of benzene, which has increased the cost of running their boats, and prevents them taking any risk in looking for new fishing-grounds. During the year the Dunedin market has been well supplied with flat fish, and a fair supply of all other kinds has come forward. Most of the fish-salesmen, however, state that the supply all round has not been equal to the demand. At Nugget Bay the fishermen report that fishing on the inshore grounds has been rather poor, but further off in the deeper water the catches were quite equal to other years. Hapuku is the principal fish taken. The boat-landing at this bay is considered by fishermen to be anything but a safe one, and boats caught out in an east, north-east, or northerly gale have to take great risks in getting in. An extension of the groyne or breakwater to the outer reef would undoubtedly effect a great improvement and make it as safe as it is possible to be, and I would recommend that an estimate of the cost of making this extension should be obtained, with a view to having this work done. Chatham Islands.--'The two Wellington fishing companies have continued operations during the year. The bad weather which prevailed throughout the year very much hindered the fishing, and on that account it has not been nearly as profitable for the fishermen and the companies as it otherwise would have been. Whenever the weather was favourable very good catches of blue cod and other fish were made. Southland District. —During the year it may be said that blue cod have been plentiful, and in fine weather some exceptional catches have been made. The fish, too, have been in excellent condition. In February I visited Stewart Island and went out with a party of fishermen on to the fishing-grounds in Foveaux Strait. The weather was fine and good catches were made by all the boats, and I was very pleased with the quantity and quality of fish caught.
H.—lG
During the greater part of the season of 1912 the quality of the oysters was poor. This season, however, from the opening on the Ist March, they have been exceptionally good. The local Inspector reports that this season most of the oysters are being taken from a bed which has not been worked for nearly twenty years. Information has been received to the effect that the supply on some of the old beds which have been persistently worked for a good many years is giving out. Some inquiries have been made, but the information received has not been quite satisfactory, and I would recommend that the matter should be carefully inquired into and, if considered necessary, a survey of these beds made. These beds are a most valuable asset for the Dominion, and every care must be taken to preserve them. The quantity of oysters exported from the Bluff during the year was 378,896 dozen, valued at £2,984, and the quantity of fish exported was 5,908_ cwt., valued at £8,660. The Inspector reports that the Norwegian Whaling Company, which lias been operating to the west of Stewart Island and Foveaux Strait during the lust eleven months, has been successful in capturing forty-five whales (principally sperm), yielding 159 tons of oil, valued at £2,350, and from a large sperm whale ambergris to the value of £32,000 was obtained. There exists from Waikawa westward to Preservation Inlet and round Stewart Island one of the most important and extensive fisheries in the Dominion. It includes our most extensive bluecod fishery, and all the other varieties of South Island market fishes are abundant in its waters. With the exception of blue cod, this fishery has not been made use of to any extent for supplying the market with other varieties. The principal reasons for this have been the inadequate steamer communication with Stewart Island, and lack of railway facilities for getting fish to the Dunedin and Christehurch markets in quick time, so as to ensure its arrival in good condition. When these disabilities are removed and more interest is taken in marketing these fish by the Bluff fish-merchants this fishery will undoubtedly supply large quantities regularly to Dunedin and Christehurch, and at certain seasons to the Wellington market. By instructions from the Minister of Marine an inquiry was held at the Bluff in September last by Mr. McClure, Chief Commissioner" of Crown Lands for Southland, and myself into the question of tin.' size-limit at which blue cod should be allowed to be taken. Very full evidence was given by the fishermen's representatives from Stewart Island and other parts. As a result of the evidence given it was recommended in the report furnished to the Department that the sizelimit approved by the fishermen should be adopted.—viz., 10J m. in length for whole fish and 9 in. when headed. An inquiry was also held at Invercargill in September by myself and Mr. Anderson, ActingCollector of Customs, into the question of the netting and sale of trout in the New River estuary. The representatives of the local acclimatization society, Anglers' Club, and others interested gave very full evidence against netting being allowed; and evidence was given by fishermen, fish-dealers, and others in favour of the netting and sale of trout. After the inquiry was finished the area where netting has been allowed was inspected and tested. As a result of the inquiry it was recommended that the netting (within the present limits) and sale of trout should be allowed for the present, but that trout-netting licenses should only be granted to professional fishermen. Rock-oyster Beds. —hast picking season was a most successful one —it extended the full six months; and with the exception of the usual rush during the first few weeks, the market all the rest of the season was fully supplied. The total quantity picked was 7,728 sacks, 3,430 being taken from the Bay of Island beds and 4,298 from the Hauraki Gulf. As an indication of the great improvement which has taken place in the condition of the oyster-beds in the Hauraki Gulf it may be stated that only about half the available beds were picked last season, and these supplied all the oysters required; the rest of the beds, although ready to pick, were not required, and will yield a very large supply of oysters of -the finest quality this season. I made a detailed inspection of all the beds in December last, and found a steady improvement in their condition everywhere. The replanting done by the Department ou the Coromandel coast and islands in the Thames Gulf is already effecting an improvement in the beds in these places. Where the first planting was done large numbers of young oysters can now be seen along the rocks, the result of the spawn from the brood oysters planted. The steady improvement in the beds can undoubtedly be taken as clear evidence that the system of picking and protecting the beds which has now been adopted by the Government is the right one. Whaling. —Three foreign whaling.firms commenced operations during the year, but two of these have left the Dominion for other countries where they are confident better results will be obtained. Messrs. Cook and J agger, and the whalers in Tory Channel, express themselves as well satisfied with the season's operations. Atlantic Salmon. —As the importation of herring-ova and other sea-fish was taken in hand last season no importation of salmon-eggs was made. The success of the acclimatization of the quinnat salmon was, I consider, due to the systematic effort made, and it is to be hoped that a similar effort will be made with these fish. If this is done lam sanguine that we will be equally successful in establishing them, and I would strongly recommend that the importation of not less than a million eggs should be made this coming season. Quinnat Salmon. —In point of numbers the run of this salmon, which spawned in the Waitaki River and its tributaries last season, was quite equal to any of the previous years. The average size of the fish was, however, larger, and a peculiarity of the run was the very large percentage of male salmon which were captured. In other seasons the fish taken were about equal sexes, but last season nearly twice as many male fish were taken as females. Had the percentage, of
12
13
H.—ls,
females been equal to other seasons nearly double the quantity of eggs would have been collected. The total quantity of eggs taken was 237,000, and these were disposed of as follows: 27,500 were supplied to the Tasmanian Government; 190,000 sent to the west coast; 7,500 retained at the Hakataramea Hatchery: 12,000, the loss during incubation. The salmon-eggs sent to the west coast hatched out very well, and the young fish were planted in tributaries of the Hokitika River. It is interesting to note that a number of the young fish were taken in whitebait-nets in the tideway of the river during the early summer, showing that they maintain in this country the same characteristics of going to sea at an early stage of their existence as they do in their native country. 3 The attached list gives the total number of salmon over a year old liberated from the Hakataramea salmon-station during the year, and also the number retained at the station. The following fish were liberated from the station in October, 1912 : Quinnat salmon, three years old, 503; two years old, 567. Rhine salmon, three and a half years old, 73. Atlantic salmon, three and a half years old, 69. The following fish were retained in the ponds on the 31st March, 1913 : Quinnat salmon, three years old, 70; two years old, 982; one year old, 17,924. Rhine salmon, four and a half years old, 20. Atlantic salmon, four and a half years old, 20. Collection of Trout-eggs. —The season was the most successful one experienced since the Hakataramea station was established. The weather conditions were favourable all through the time the men were at work on the rivers, the result being that all the eggs required were taken in less than a. month. The total quantity collected was 960,000; of this number 810,000 was supplied to different acclimatization societies, and the balance was hatched out and the young fish planted in the Hakataramea River and its tributary creeks. Taupo and Rotorua Fisheries. —At the request of the Minister for the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department sent me in August last to make an inspection and furnish a report on these fisheries. I made a careful inspection of all the rivers and streams flowing into Taupo Lake, and also the fish there and at Rotorua and other lakes, and furnished a report as instructed, with recommendations for the future working of these fisheries. 1 have, &c., L. F. Ayson, The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Fisheries. The Chairman, Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery Board, to the Secretary, Marine Department. Dear Sir, — Dunedin, 21st May, 1913. I beg to forward the report of work done at the Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery during the past year, as submitted to tho Board by Mr. Thomas Anderton, the Curator. You already have received from Mr. Anderton direct the report of his trip to the Old Country and the successful introduction of turbot into New Zealand, together with a fine new stock of lobsters and crabs; also a full account of his attempt to introduce the ova of the herring, and the reasons for the failure of this attempt. The Board is of opinion that this attempt should not be renewed, at any rate, for the present. Under existing conditions the risks of failure are too great to justify a renewal of the shipment. In forwarding this report the Board wishes to record its great satisfaction with the services rendered both by Mr. Anderton and the assistant curator, Mr. W. Adams. To the former's unceasing vigilance and care, both before and during the voyage out, is due the success of the last shipment of fish and Crustacea; and during Mr. Anderton's absence the work of the station was carried on single-handed by Mr. Adams, everything being kept in first-class order. The success of the station is mainly due to the zeal and untiring industry of these two officers. 1 am, &c, The Secretary, Marine Department. Geo. M. Thomson. Gentlemen, — Marine Fish-hatchery and Biological Station, Portobello, 17th May, 1913. 1 have the honour to present the following (the seventh) annual report of operations at the Marine Fish-hatchery from the date of the last report, 4th May, 1912, to the present date. I have already forwarded to Mr. Allport a full account of the recent large shipment of lobsters, crabs, and turbot, and of the attempt to import the ova of the herring from England, and it will not be necessary to refer to it again except as to its effect on the past season's work, and with reference to the progress of the stock since their arrival on the Ist March. During my absence from the 3rd August, 1912, to the Ist March, 1913, the station was worked single-handed by Mr. W. Adams, with the exception of a little occasional assistance. As a consequence of this no flat fish ova were collected from the trawlers this season. The lobsters were examined on the 7th November, and eight out of fifteen females were found to be still carrying practically full bunches of well-developed eggs. They were removed to the smaller ponds on this date, the three carrying the most advanced eggs being placed in the glass tanks for hatching. The first larvae appeared on the 23rd November, a fortnight earlier than
H.—is
14
last season. From these three 9,387 larva? were hatched, the average produced for each adult being 3,129. The other five females were allowed to hatch their broods in the ponds, and the larvae were allowed to escape in the usual manner through the pond-valves on the first of the flood. Many of the larvas were again liberated to the east of Quarry Point. The total production of lobster-larvae for the season is estimated at about 25,000. A large percentage of these were hatched from eggs that were shed by the adults whilst in the glass tanks by means of the McDonald hatching-jars. The first moult after spawning was observed on the 18th January. Five other males and four females are known to have cast between this date and the 18th February. Several of the females are again bearing eggs. The younger of the two lobsterlings died during the act of moulting, but the older one is still thriving and is now three and a half years old. The two surviving crabs died before the arrival of the new shipment. During my absence the paths at the new cottage were asphalted; the large pond was deepened by from 12 in. to 18 in.; new shelters and screens were made for the ponds, the pump-engine was overhauled, and everything was in perfect order on the arrival of the shipment on the Ist March. The new stock consists of forty-three crabs, forty-one lobsters, and 200 turbot (Rhombus maximus). The disposition of the crabs and lobsters in the various ponds has just about brought these up to their full carrying-capacity. The young turbot are being kept in five of the large glass tanks, and have not been handled since their arrival. Although the average daily rate of mortality during the voyage—even to the day of arrival —was two per day, only two have died during the past ten weeks, and these two were sickly on arrival. They are fed once a day on minced fish, chiefly ling, on account of the firmness of the flesh. At feeding-time they all rise towards the surface and seize the particles of food before they reach the bottom of the tank. Feeding is continued until the fish appear satisfied and particles arc allowed to settle on the bottom. Feeding is then discontinued, and every particle of uneaten food, manure, and sand is removed from the floor of the tanks by means of syphons. A liberal sprinkling of clean sand is thrown in the tank after this, and the young turbot soon " sand " themselves and become half-buried in this, and remain so for the most part until feeding-time comes round again. They have increased in size enormously since arrival; many of them already exceed 6 in. in length and are proportionately thicker. Provision is being made for their rapid increase in size byerecting one of the large wooden tanks, previously used for conveying lobsters on board steamer, in the hatchery. A sudden fall in the temperature of the water-supply to 5° C. on the Ist Maycaused them to become somewhat sluggish and to take very little food. They have, however, been subjected to slightly lower temperatures since then, and have fed as usual and have apparently been unaffected in any way. During spells of exceptionally severe weather the temperature of the supply water has occasionally fallen as low as 1° C. in previous seasons. On several occasions large numbers of sole and . flounder ova have been destroyed by this. To avoid further losses through this cause, and also to avoid the risk of exposing the turbot to these low temperatures, a small but effective heating-apparatus has been installed. A small lean-to has been added at the rear of the hatchery building and in this has been placed an "Ideal" boiler. The 2 in. supply-pipe has been coupled up so as to allow the water to circulate through the water-jacket surrounding the furnace. By means of three valves all or only a part of the water may be made to pass through this jacket, and it is now possible to have complete control of the temperature during the severe spells. The boat and launch have been regularly slipped for cleaning and painting. The whole of the ponds, plant, and buildings are in a very satisfactory state of repair. The whole of the fish-tanks, ova-boxes, and cooling-apparatus was received from the s.s. " Waimana " whilst in Dunedin, and have been brought to the hatchery for storage. The cooling-coils have been removed from the cylinders, painted, and replaced to avoid rust. I am, &c, T. Andehton. REPORT ON IMPORTATION OF LOBSTERS, ETC., AND TRIAL SHIPMENT OF ENGLISH HERRING-OVA.. Sir,— Portobello, 30th March, 1913. I have the honour to present the following report of the recent shipment of lobsters, crabs, and turbot, with a small experimental shipment of herring-ova, by the s.s. "Waimana," which arrived in Port Chalmers on Saturday, Ist March. My instructions from you before leaving were to visit the British, and if necessary the Continental, biological stations; to arrange for the collection, storage, and transport to this country of a number of crabs and lobsters and 60,000 herring-ova; and also to arrange, if possible, for a trial shipment of one or more species of the finest of the English food fishes. Smaller consignments of lobsters and crabs have previously been carried very successfully by Captain Holmes and Mr. Finlayson on board the s.s. " Karamea," and have withstood a considerably higher temperature than that at which they were carried this voyage, and it will not be necessary to refer at any great length to the details of their management. It is, however, the first time that an attempt has been made to transport the young turbot to this country, and the first time that a really serious attempt has been made with regard to the transport of the herringova, and it will be necessary and advisable to refer at greater length to the collection and storage of these, and to give fuller particulars of the details of construction of the boxes, tanks, filters, cooler apparatus, &c. I beg to enclose table of dates, positions, and temperatures during the voyage.

I arrived at Plymouth by the. R.M.S. " lonic "on the 18th September, and at once consulted Dr. Allen as to collections and storage of the stock for shipment, and as to the most important station to visit. I then proceeded to London, and was able to make all necessary preliminary arrangements for a vessel, sailing in January, with the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company. I then visited the Marine Biological Stations at Port Erin, Isle of Man, Pial Island, Barrow, and Bay of Nigg, Aberdeen. At the latter station I was enabled to see the apparatus that had been used by Dr. Williamson for retarding the development of the herring-ova, and arranged with him to supervise the collection and shipment at Plymouth. No hatching was in progress at this season at any of these places, but I was able to inspect all their plant and to have a long conversation with the curators and scientific superintendents. Copious notes were made of all that might prove useful, and I obtained from Dr. Allen a copy of Professor Kofold's " Biological Stations of Europe." This work contains all information relating to sizes of tanks, ponds, piping, pumps, filters, &c., in use at all the European stations, and may be referred to at any time. The Continental stations were at this time closed down, and as their appliances are practically the same as those in use in the British Isles I considered it unnecessary on the score of economy of time and expense to visit them. Lobsters and Crabs. These are fairly plentiful around Plymouth, and a stock was not secured until early in. December. They were placed in two of the large aquarium tanks. The large claws were securely tied, and few deaths occurred. Owing to the reduced size of the fish-chamber on board the vessel provision was only made to carry twenty-four each of lobsters and crabs. A much larger number was stored at Plymouth to allow for possible deaths, and the whole of the surviving stock, consisting of forty-three lobsters (twenty-eight female and fifteen male) and fifty crabs (thirty-three female and seventeen male) were brought on board. The crabs were in some instances placed two and three in a division originally intended for one, and the compartments allotted to the lobsters were again divided in the case of the smaller ones, and in spite of their greatly reduced quarters only two lobsters and seven crabs died during the voyage; the majority of deaths took place soon after leaving Plymouth. They were brought on board in ordinary fish-baskets, from six to a dozen in each basket. The large claws of all were bound when brought on board, and were not cut until each was confined in a separate compartment. Several crabs that were placed two or three in one division managed to get rid of their lashings and were not retied, but did not in any way injure each other. During the voyage they were fed sparingly and somewhat irregularly on frozen hake; a piece about 1 in. square was supplied to each on an average every second day. All unconsumed food was removed from the compartments two or three hours after being supplied, and every particle of fish-rust, &c, was removed by means of a siphon once or twice every day. Only once during the voyage were they handled to permit the tanks to be thoroughly scrubbed out. Nine of the crabs spawned during the voyage, but, as usual in very close confinement, the eggs were shed and lost. Several of the lobsters bore eggs when shipped and still retained them on arrival. Turbot (Rhombus maximus). The reasons in favour of making a trial shipment of turbot were many. The chief of these were —their high commercial value, the large size to which they attain, and their dissimilarity to any of the indigenous flat fishes. In addition to these reasons, Dr. Williamson had already, at the request of the New Zealand Government, proved them capable of withstanding sufficiently low temperatures for the hatchery ponds, and Dr. Allen has reared the young ones with grleat success in the small tanks, and the large adults thrive particularly well in the large aquarium tanks at Plymouth. Dr. Allen assured me also that if the work was put in hand at once (September) it would be possible to secure a few hundred of a suitable size for shipment. The young turbot were captured by Messrs. Smith and Orton and others of the staff by means of fine-mesh nets in the surf at Whitsand Bay. They were fairly plentiful at the end of September, but as many died from the effects of bruises, &c, it became necessary to continue to make up for losses right on to December, by which time they were very scarce. Some seven hundred odd were caught in all, but these were reduced to about three hundred by the time of shipment. They were transported from Whitsand Bay to the tanks at Plymouth in small jars placed in baskets. Their removal occupied from two to three hours—a long journey by brake, ferry-boat, train, and on foot—during which time the water was changed once. During their confinement in the tanks they were fed once a day on minced worms and squid, and a quantity of each was frozen for a time and then fed to them as a test for a supply of food for the voyage. This appeared quite satisfactory. At one time they were dying off so rapidly that it was considered advisable to get in a stock of plaice to ship in their stead. Some hundred and fifty plaice were captured and stocked in readiness, but as the mortality amongst the turbot steadily decreased they were not needed. About three hundred young turbot from 2 in. to 3 in. in length were brought off to the vessel in large zinc tubs, and were placed in the three tanks provided for them, a hundred in each tank. The measurement of each tank was 4 ft. by 2 ft. 6 in. by 18 in. deep, and they were made of l\ in. yellow-pine. Each tank was fitted with an easily removable lid fastened down by means of thumbscrews, and with a rubber joint. In the centre of each lid an opening was left 3 ft. longby 12 in. wide; this was formed into a. trunkway by being fitted with sides extending 9 in. above the lid of the tank. During heavy weather these covers were screwed down to minimize the splash of the water from side to side. The lower overflow was plugged up, and the water was allowed to rise and escape through a pipe 5 in. from the top of the trunkway. The surface area of the tanks was thus narrowed down very considerably, and the movement of the whole body of water was greatly reduced.

Worms in pint and half-pint tins, and squid and shelled mussels in small boxes, were frozen and kept in cold storage to serve as food during the voyage. The worms turned out, from some cause or other, to be little better than a mass of slime, and were altogether useless for food purposes. The turbot did not take very well to the mussels, but an excellent substitute was found in minced hake, and this with a little minced squid formed their food throughout the voyage. None were seen to eat for the first five days. They were fed daily, with an occasional day's starving. At feeding-time during the voyage it was necessary to remove the tank-lid and to hold a portable electric light over the tanks. The turbot seized the food whilst descending through the water; any particles that were not thus seized remained on the bottom of the tank until cleared out. Such was not the case previous to shipment, and is not the case at present whilst receiving natural light, and I think this peculiarity must be attributed to a great extent to the effects of the electric light. All unconsumed particles of food, castings, and sand were removed by siphon immediately after feeding, and a light sprinkling of sand was strewn over the bottom of the tank. One hundred died during the voyage, the death-rate thus averaging about two per day. The majority of those that died showed distinct signs of bruises, mostly on the under side. A great many had eaten nothing for many days; the intestines were quite empty, and the whole abdominal cavity was much distended and full of a semi-transparent fluid; the anus in most cases was inflamed. The three tanks were placed fore and aft in the vessel, each tank received a separate supply of water, but as call were connected and the outlet for all was in the after end of the after tank, the second tank received double and the third tank treble the amount of water that it was possible to supply to the first tank. During the hottest part of the voyage the mortality in the first tank was much greater than in the other two, and when the fish were counted out on arrival it was found that about fifty had died in the first, thirty in the second, and only twenty in the third tank. The aeration of the supply-water was very greatly increased by allowing a fall of about 3 ft. Half-inch glass tubing, drawn out to a needle point and broken off to allow of any desired flow, was secured into the end of the rubber hose leading into each tank, and this, with the cocks left full open, allowed the water to be forced through with the full pressure of the main pumps and to carry a great quantity of ox3'gen with it. Up to the date of writing (19th April) only two deaths have occurred since their arrival seven weeks .ago, and these two died the day after arrival. They are still being kept in the glass tanks, but at their present rate of growth it will soon be necessary either to liberate a number or to place them in one of the large ponds. Many of them have already attained a length of in. and are proportionately thicker. They are fed entirely on minced fish, chiefly ling. Herring-ova. The herring-fishing at Plymouth is very uncertain. On examining the statistics for the last eight years it was fond that, as a rule, few herrings were taken during November, but that the greatest quantities were caught in December and early in January. This season's herring-fishing has been a failure throughout owing to the scarcity of herrings. Dr. Williamson and I journeyed to Plymouth on Sunday, sth January. Mr. T. Dance, agent for Messrs. Peacock and Co., of Lowestoft (to whom I had previously written), has most kindly made all arrangements for us to accompany the steam drifters. About eight thousand ova were secured the following night on board a steam drifter. On account of heavy weather this was the only vessel to proceed to sea that day, and none were able to do so until Friday, the 10th January. During the week every effort was made to secure ripe herrings within the harbour by means of set-nets, drift-nets, and seine nets, but no ripe herrings were taken. The weather moderated a little on Friday, and the masters of the steam drifters were persuaded to endeavour to bring in a number of live herrings in their large net-tanning casks. A large number of ripe herrings were brought in by the various vessels, and from these Dr. Williamson was enabled to secure the full consignment of sixty thousand ova. Immediately afterwards the weather became worse, and but for this brief lull no ova could have been secured. The herring-egg is, roughly, about | in. in diameter, and is adhesive. A quantity of milt was expressed from a male and allowed to mix with the water, and the ova were, stripped from the herrings in the usual manner (the herring being held under water) on to twenty-four glass plates, each measuring 9 in. by 7 in. These plates were placed in boxes at the aquarium, and the circulating water was cooled by means of a grill improvised out of half-inch iron piping and rubber hose, upon which rested a large cake of ice. They were brought off to the vessel in the shelved boxes that had been made for this purpose, the temperature of the water being about 39° F. The accompanying tables show the maximum, minimum, and average daily temperatures throughout the voyage. On account of the varying ocean temperatures, but more so on account of the varying pressure of the pumps, it was necessary to keep a constant watch on the coolers, and the ova were rarely left unattended, and never for more than half an hour. A description of the coolers will be found under that heading. All piping between the supply-tank and the coolers was of black iron. The water was led from the bottom of the cooler to the filters by 1 in. rubber hose, and connected up by means of ordinary brass couplings. The filter-boxes were made of I__ in. yellowpine, with watertight lids easily removed. These and all other boxes and tanks were painted with bitumastic solution. The water entered at the bottom of the filter and passed upwards through three trays of thick flannel, and was led by two brass taps and rubber hoses into the first and fourth compartments of the ova-boxes. A second filter was cleared out in readiness, and the charging- of the filters did not occupy more than a few minutes. At times, such as when on one or two occasions the supply-tank had run empty, or whilst in port, an enormous amount of both fine and solid matter was found on the flannels and on the bottom of the filters, and even whilst at sea about a teacupful of matter could be scraped off
17
H.—ls
the flannels with a knife. In appearance and consistency this substance much resembled yellow ochre just as it is pressed out of a tube of oil colours, and probably consisted of rust-grease from the pump and a large amount of organic matter. Calculated on a temperature-unit basis, a temperature of 355° F. would retard the development for the necessary fifty days. This temperature was maintained with little variation throughout. The maximum and minjmuin thermometers registered 40° and 32° F. Two streams were laid on, each supplying three compartments. This means that compartments 1 and 4 were of equal temperatures, but that (whilst proceeding through the tropics) Nos. 2 and 5 and 3 and 6 became slightly warmer through contact with the atmosphere, which at times reached 63° F. This difference never exceeded lj 0 F., but even with this a considerable difference of development could be soon in the ova from the different boxes. The ova were still fairly clean on crossing the Equator on the 24th January, and the outline of the embryo could be easily distinguished. In the ova from the warmest box the tail of the embryo reached better than half-way to the head. Very few dead eggs were discerned up to this time. The water at Cape Town was somewhat dirty, and the ova received an extra coating of sediment. This was removed by means of a long-haired camel-hair brush, and the compartments were scrubbed out separately soon after leaving Cape Town. By this time tho ova were assuming a slightly reddish tint, and more appeared to be dead, especially on'those plates upon which the ova were spread thickly. Nevertheless the majority were developing very nicely for some time after this, the tail of the embryo having reached past the head, and the chord and eyes were visible in all the live eggs. No diatoms, algae, or fungus at any time appeared, and I was not able to detect the presence of any of the crystals mentioned in Dr. 'Williamson's reports. All the compartments were thoroughly cleaned out on the 6th February, the plates were still in very fair condition, and a number from each box was examined and notes of their condition were made. Up to this time there appeared to be every prospect of a large number being successfully oariied through. This cleaning, which had occupied eight hours, was nicely completed when from some cause or another the supply tank ran dry. When the water returned it came with such tremendous pressure as to force itself through the joints of the coolers and filters, and brought with it such an amount of rust and sediment that had collected in the bottom of the supply-tanks that in a moment the water became as thick as soup. My time for the next few hours was fully occupied in getting the fish and lobster tanks in order again, and by the time I was able to give my attention to the ova they had received a very heavy coating, and the water in the boxes was so thick that one could not see an inch below the surface. For the next few days the water continued fairly thick, and when a number of eggs were examined on the 12th most of them were seen to contain dead embryos. The experiment was abandoned on the 14th February in latitude 47° 26' S., longitude 104° 57' E. The ova at this time were impregnated through and through with rust, &c.; no trace of a live embryo could be seen in any of the eggs, but where the capsule was sufficiently clear the opaque dead embryo was seen. The ova were fertilized at Plymouth on the 10th January. By far the majority contained live embryos on the 6th February, twenty-seven days after fertilization, and some still contained live embryos on the 12th February, thirty-three days after being fertilized. None of the ova hatched out : the steady low temperature at which they were maintained precluded the possibility of any hatching up to the thirty-third day. From 30 to 50 gallons of water passed through the boxes per hour. I attribute the failure to convey the ova to New Zealand to be due to a very great extent to the tremendous amount of matter in suspension in the water taken from the ship's main sanitary service. The boxes and frames containing the ova, ,and the rotary motion produced by means of the water-wheel, worked perfectly, and could hardly be improved upon, excepting if it were possible by supplying each compartment with a separate water-supply. If the experiment should at any time be repeated it would be advisable to have an independent water-supply, not necessarily from the sea, but to avoid the large amount of cooling and filtering that would be required for a large shipment. By providing two large wooden tanks, one above and one below the fish-chamber, it would be possible to use the same cooled and filtered water over and over again to a great extent. A small electrically driven pump and aerating plant would be required for this purpose, and this would allow the control of the water-service to remain entirely in the hands of the responsible attendants. In my preliminary report I expressed a strong conviction that the " scheme " was impracticable. I did not mean by this that I considered it would be impossible to retard the development of the ova on board ship for a sufficient period to allow of a number hatching out after reaching these waters, especially by a direct steamer making the passage in about forty-two days. An independent water-supply as described above would go a long way towards remedying the defects that have been pointed out by this small shipment. My reasons for expressing an adverse opinion against the scheme of attempting to acclimatize the herring into New Zealand waters by means of bringing out shipments of ova are on account of the delicacy of the undertaking and the heavy recurring expenditure involved, and, summarized, are as follows : — (1.) The retardation of the herring-ova from, about nine to fifty days, of itself a very delicate experiment even when conducted on a small scale in a well-equipped marine laboratory. (2.) Dr. Williamson only succeeded in one out of three experiments in retarding development for fifty days, and even in this one only one larvae hatched out of every six thousand ova. (3.) During these experiments the water used stood at about 42° F., and therefore contained more oxygen than when suddenly cooled from higher temperatures during the voyage.
3—H. 15.
H.—ls

(4.) It is quite possible (as witness the narrow margin on the last occasion) that a shipment of ova might be unprocurable when required after fitting up the plant on board of a certain vessel. (5.) I was assured by the refrigerating engineer that the refrigerating-engines were run more during this voyage to cool the supply of water than when carrying a full cargo of mutton, and that the cost would amount to £3 a day. Of this the ova water took half. (6.) The fry cannot be reared in confinement, and any that hatched would have to be liberated in the ocean at once. (7.) The Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company most kindly, on the last occasion, gave the space required, allowed the vessel to call into Plymouth, and made no charge for the water-supply or cooling. In order to have any reasonable prospects of success it would be necessary to make a large shipment year by year, and the charges for the above obligations would greatly increase the cost of each shipment. The cost of transferring the plant from one vessel to another would be considerable, as it is very rarely that the same vessel would come direct to Port Chalmers on two successive trips at the right season of the year. (8.) The acclimatization of the herring presents an entirely different aspect to that of the turbot, lobster, and crab, inasmuch as it would be necessary to establish them around the coasts in such vast numbers as to create an altogether different class of fishing (drift-net) to any at present practised. The Voyage. As I had only returned from Plymouth the previous evening I did not join the " Waimana " until a little before sailing and whilst lying in the river off Gravesend. Owing to my absence since the previous Saturday I had been unable to supervise the final portion of the fitting-up of the fish-chamber. Everything was, however, in very satisfactory order. The "Waimana" left Gravesend at 3.30 p.m. on Saturday, the 11th January, and arrived off Plymouth at 6 p.m. next evening. During the passage down the Channel all tanks were thoroughly scrubbed out and the heavy deposit of Thames silt was got rid of. The coolers were tested, and the water for the herring-ova was brought down to 40° F. The shipment of lobsters, crabs, turbot, and ova were brought off by tender, and the "Waimana" left at 9 p.m. The temperature of the sea-water rose steadily, and by consistent watching no difficulty was experienced in keeping the ova and fishes at the desired degree. The fish and lobster water was allowed to rise to 63°. F. for two days only, but as many of the crabs were somewhat distressed it was reduced to 56° F. and maintained at that throughout the voyage. The highest sea-temperature, 84° F., was reached in latitude 5° 47' N., and from this it steadily fell until reaching Cape Town on the Ist February. The water in the harbour was 57°. On leaving Cape Town the sea-water fell to 53° F. at 4.30 a.m., and rose to 61° at 9 a.m. and 71° at noon. For the next few days whilst passing through the Aghulas current the temperature was constantly varying and ranged between 72° and 62°. The water was somewhat cloudy at Cape Town. Before leaving the Aghulas current the temperature of the fish-water was reduced to 53°, a little below the usual 56°, so as not to cause too great a reduction on meeting the colder currents. The lowest ocean temperature was recorded on. the 13th February in latitude 47° 9' S., 96° 29' E. The experiment with the herring-ova was abandoned on the 14th February. The temperature gradually rose to 62° off the New South Wales coast, and then suddenly to 75° outside Sydney Heads. The vessel was detained in Sydney from the Friday evening to Tuesday morning. Captain Holmes and Mr. Arthur, Chief Engineer, had most kindly provided against this by filling two large clean ballast-tanks with sea-water. The sanitary pumps were changed over on to this supply on reaching the inner harbour, but on three occasions on the Saturday the pump lost its water and the supply-tanks became empty. The return of the water brought with it a deluge of rust and sediment each time, and it was decided to open the sea-cock slightly so as to keep the pump primed. The mortality whilst in the harbour was not excessive, but just before leaving all the stock was in a very low state; even many of the lobsters were lying over on their sides and backs and were quite limp. All soon recovered on receiving a liberal supply of sea-water. The ocean temperature gradually fell, and when the coolers were shut off in Foveaux Strait the sea-water stood at 565° F. This was also the temperature of the water at Port Chalmers. The "Waimana" made fast to the wharf at Port Chalmers at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Ist March, after a prolonged passage of forty-nine days, and was met on arrival by Mr. G. M. Thomson, M.P., Mr. L. F. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, and others. The large claws of the crabs and lobsters had already been secured, and they were at once conveyed to the ponds at the hatchery by the station launch, packed in the same baskets in which they were brought on board. The turbot were removed from the large tanks by means of small muslin nets, and transferred in large tubs to the tanks at the hatchery by the s.s. " Tarewai." The cooling plant was designed and constructed by Messrs. J. and F. Hall, of Dartford, Kent. This consisted of two upright iron cylinders, each 4 ft. 6 in. high by 20 in. diameter. Each of these contained two coils of \\ in. black-iron pipes. The sea-water was led into these at the top and escaped at the bottom, where a self-registering Kew-tested thermometer was fitted to show the temperature of the water. Each cylinder had two separate three-way cocks for the control of the flow of brine, and these were so arranged that the flow of brine could be reversed in the. event of the water nearest the intake becoming frozen; it was, however, never necessary to do so. Mr. H. J. Ward, the manager of Messrs. Hall Limited, took a great interest in the experiment, and allowed one of his staff to accompany the vessel to Plymouth so as to see the plant in working-order. The brine system was so arranged that it could be turned on to the chamber itself if necessary, but this was not resorted to, as it was found that by keeping the door closed the temperature inside the room rarely exceeded 56° to 60° F. The plant proved as effective as
19
H.—ls
it was neat and simple, and would suffice for a still larger flow of water. A Muntz-metal disc was made during the voyage and fixed with an indicator over each inlet brine cock, and this greatly facilitated the task of maintaining a steady temperature during times of sudden variations! Throughout the voyage I was most kindly allowed the services of Mr. T. J. Harrison, a former second refrigerating engineer of the vessel, whose assistance proved of the utmost value. In conclusion, I need hardly express my own keen disappointment with regard to the loss of the herring-ova when success was almost within sight. The expenditure on the expedition has been more than justified by the large increase in the breeding-stock of lobsters and crabs — from twenty-seven to 111 —and by having demonstrated that it is possible to carry them in about one-half the space that was formerly allowed. It has also proved the possibility of transporting one of the finest of the European flat fishes to this country, and has resulted in the introduction of two hundred turbot to form a breeding-stock from which it is considerably hoped to establish this valuable fish into these waters. The thanks of the Department are due to the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company for the free use of the required space, pumping and cooling of the water, and for allowing the vessel to call into Plymouth for the shipment; to Captain Noal, Mr. McCallum, and Mr. Adams, superintendents of the compairy; to Captain Burville Holmes, and Mr. Arthur, Chief Engineer of the " Waimana " ; to Dr. Allen and his staff for collecting and storing the fish, &c.; to Mr. T. Dance and Messrs. Peacock and Co., of Lowestoft, for providing facilities for securing the herring-ova; and to Dr. H. C. Williamson for collecting and supervising the shipment of herring-ova. I have, &c, The Secretary, Marine Department. T. Anderton.

The Marine Engineer to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir,— Wellington, 7th July, 1913. 1 have the honour to report as follows on the various works dealt with during the yearended 31st March, 1913. Tuahine Lighthouse. —During the past year some difficulty was experienced through the advent of sand-flies into the interior of the lantern, which caused the extinction of the pilot light. This has been rectified by placing gauze screens over apertures through which they obtained entrance. Hokianga. —Kohukohu breastwork : The timber breastwork for the protection of reclamation in front of the township has been completed. It has also been extended about 20 ft. at one end to connect with the wharf. .. Cattle-landing : The construction of a cattle and horse landing close to the wharf is now in hand. This is necessary owing to the muddy nature of the foreshore preventing animals beinglanded from boats unless a causeway is made. Launch-landing : The development of the motor-launch has resulted in the employment of a very large number on the Hokianga and its tributaries. Owing to the considerable range of tide it has been found necessary, for the safety of passengers and easy landing or shipping of light goods, that a landing-stage be constructed. This is now in hand. It consists of a floating pontoon connected with the wharf by a movable gangway. Timber Company's breastwork : Owing to the small extent of flat land available, the Kauri Timber Company found it necessary to carry out a small extent of reclamation in order to provide a site for their mill. In order to protect this reclamation from the action of the harbour water it was necessary to construct a breastwork, which was duly carried out in timber. This having fallen into decay, and as the mill has been closed, an examination of the breastwork was made and a report prepared on repairs necessary to put it into good order. Awanui. —Several applicants for leases of foreshore in the same place not being able to agree amongst themselves as to the division of the foreshore into suitable lots, the place was examined and a report prepared with recommendations. Cape Brett. —Some slight differences in the coast-line and its position as shown on the Admiralty chart having been discovered, an amended chart of the coast in the vicinity of Cape Brett has been prepared for the information of the Admiralty. Recent surveys in connection with the new lighthouse-site enabled this to be done accurately. Mangakahia River. —This river was inspected during the past summer, and a report prepared on the positions of snags and bars which proved obstructions to navigation. River. —This river was also examined and a report prepared, as in the case of the preceding river. Kaipara and Northern Wairoa.— Shelly Beach beacon : The erection of this structure was completed during the year, a light apparatus installed and the light duly shown. Considerable difficulty has, however, been experienced in connection with tins apparatus, which generates acetylene gas direct from the carbide. The question of its replacement by a light on the Aga principle is now under consideration. Beacon Beach beacon: A survey is in hand of the site of this beacon, which will be of similar construction to that recently erected on Shelly Beach. Jack's Point: The removal of rocks in the Northern Wairoa River at this place has been reported on, and the erection of a lighted leading-beacon through the channel has been recommended, as entailing far less cost than removing rocks. Mititai : The deepening of the river opposite the Mititai Wharf, where some silting has occurred, has been reported on and recommendations made. Whakapirau Wharf.— This structure has been examined, and a report prepared on repairs necessary to put it into good order. Wade River.— Some dredging carried out by local authority by virtue of a grant made by the Marine Department has been completed, and the work examined and duly reported on Matakana Harbour .—Some dredging- in this harbour to improve the approach to the wharf is now being carried out by the Marine Department. Whangapoua Wharf.— This structure was examined and necessary repairs duly reported on. Tairua Wharves. —These also were examined and reported on. Chicken Island Light.— At the date of the last annual report the site and the access tracks had been completed. Since the iron pedestal to receive the light apparatus and shelter the gascontainers haB_ been completed by the contractors, it, together with the apparatus, have been snipped to the island, and their erection is now in hand. Ponui Lighthouse.— During the past year a scow came into collision with the lighthouse structure, smashing one of the cast-iron piles and supports, Repairs are now being carried out in reinforced concrete. Channel Island Light (Watchman).—A report has been prepared in connection with the installation of a light on this island, and an estimate supplied of the cost tothfrr!nr;7f? le +l d^d?i i n^u laV i n8 ; beel 7 de P° Sited Whi ° h al e alle S ed to ™USe «> obstruction to the approach to the Leigh Wharf, the position has been examined and a report prepared

Auxiliary schooner 662 22 Stranded ; total loss Whilst proceeding down the river the steering- ! gear jammed, causing the vessel to deflect I from her course and strike the north tip-head-She afterwards backed out, crossed the river full speed astern, struck the south trainingwall and stripped her propeller. Being thus rendered helpless, and having either carried away her anchors or stripped the flukes, she drifted across the bar and stranded on the north tip-head. The Court considered that the master, in proceeding full speed from the wharf to the position where the steering-gear jammed, did not act with due prudence, and was guilty of negligent navigation; that after the vessel struck on the north tip-head the master broke down and collapsed; that the mate, James Edward Carrick, then took charge, and in the opinion of the Court the subsequent striking of the vessel on the south training-wall and becoming a total wreck was mainly due to his want of coolness and judgment When approaching the wharf the engines failed to stop the vessel in time to avoid a collision John Christian. j I i . : .

The engine stopped after anchor was weighed; the anchor was again dropped, but failed to hold, and the launch drifted, struck a rock, and sank When beating to an anchorage under Whale Island the mainsail blew out and the foresail split, causing the vessel to drift ashore. She got off a few days later The vessel rounded the point into St. Helier's too soon and ran ashore, but got off when tide rose The vessel was anchored in the Gisborne roadstead when a fierce southerly squall came up and caused her to drag her anchors and go ashore. The Court absolved the master and others concerned from all blame in the matter When coming up the river the master left the helm to a cattle-drover, who put it to starboard instead of port, and the vessel ran into a fishing- boat which was lying on the ground alongside the jetty Caught by heavy sea when crossing the bar and capsized Went aground in a dense fog, damaging the rudder and deadwood, and stripping the propeller H.
