INSPECTION OF MACHINERY (ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT) FOR 1912-13.

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

The Hon. the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department to His Excellency the Governor. My Lord, — Inspection of Machinery Department, Wellington, 4th July, 1913. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Inspection of Machinery Department of the Dominion for the financial year ended the 31st March last. I have, &c, F. M. B. Fisher, Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department. His Excellency the Hon. Lord Liverpool, Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand. The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Hon. the Minister in Charge of the Inspection of Machinery Department. Inspection of Machinery Department, Sir,- — Customhouse Buildings, Wellington, 7th May, 1913. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations of the Inspection of Machinery Department during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1913. Boilers inspected. A good year's work has been done in this branch of the service, and, with one or two exceptions, the whole of the districts are up to date. Drawings of some unusual types of boilers were submitted to the Department as follows : (1) A water-tube locomotive boiler with vertical water-tubes ; (2) a water-tube boiler similar to the well-known boiler of the Babcock and Wilcox pattern, except that each header receives two tubes only ; (3) a water-tube portable boiler ; (4) a vertical cross-tube boiler with shell-crown corrugated to give additional strength ; (5) a motor-car vertical tubular boiler with thin shell-plate bound with steel wire of very high tensile strength (the pressure desired for this boiler was 500 lb. per square inch) ; (6) drawings of other vessels to carry steam-pressure of designs of unusual construction, which were to be used for sterilizers, vulcanizers, &c. Several firms outside of New Zealand submitted for approval standard drawings of boilers which they propose to place on the New Zealand market. Inquiries were received from abroad with reference to the scantlings of boilers and the interpretation of the standard rules of the Department. Several new boilers were not granted the working-pressure for which they were built, owing to faulty workmanship in some cases and to insufficiency of scantlings in others. The United States Consul wrote making inquiries as to boiler-inspection in New Zealand. Some large boilers have been built in the Dominion during the year. Several circulars have been issued to the Inspectore during the year giving rules for construction in connection with boilers and

vessels carrying pressure. Altogether 587 plans have been submitted for the Department's ruling. Many of these required alterations and additions. The practice now adopted of submitting plans for approval prior to construction has done much to secure uniformity throughout the Dominion. This is recognized as a step in the right direction, as it avoids alterations after the work has been commenced. Altogether 7,011 boilers have been inspected. Certificates have been issued for these. The fees for these inspections amount to £7,969. Government Boilers and Machinery. During the year 210 Government boilers and machinery were examined. Of this number, 129 were boilers, 14 lifts, 23 oil-engines, 10 gas-engines, 31 electric motors, and 3 turbines. Repairs were made to several of them, and certificates were issued for each inspection. Defective Boilers and Fittings. Quite a number of defects in boilers and their fittings are set out in Return No. 2. The total defects discovered number 1,239. Of this number, 33 were very dangerous. Several of these defects are due to shortness of water in the boiler. Glass-tube gauges are now generally used to ascertain the water-level in boilers, and, as much depends on them, care should be taken to provide good and reliable fittings, and to keep them in good working-order. Accidents through shortness of water in boilers would be reduced in number if the attendants, instead of merely opening the drain-cocks of water-gauges, were to test them several times daily in the following manner to ensure that both the steam and the water passages were perfectly clear : (1) Shut top cock ; (2) open drain-cock (a full blow of water shows that the water-passage is clear) ; (3) shut bottom cock ; (4) open top cock (a full blow of steam shows that the steam-passage is clear) ; (5) shut the drain-cock; (6) open the bottom cock (the water should not be sluggish in returning to the glass). These operations involve a certain amount of trouble, but they ensure that the glasses will indicate the water-level correctly, and also that the cocks are workable should a glass break. To prevent accidents from bursting glasses they should be of good quality, the fittings should be in line, and each glass should have a suitable protector. The renewal of glasses every six months, instead of waiting till they break, is very good practice. New Boilers. During the year 587 new boilers have been registered and added to the books of the Department. Their total horse-power amounts to 6,649. Of the total number, 356 were built in the Dominion and 231 imported. The following table shows the number and horse-power of the new boilers and the districts to which they have gone :—

Gas-, Water-, and Electric-driven Machinery.—Lifts and Machinery Inspections. The total number of inspections made during the year was 8,185. Of this number, 1,531 were gas-engines, 2,794 oil-engines, 3,802 lifts and motors (which include water and electric motors), and 58 steam machinery. Fencing of Machinery. The guarding of machinery in motion for the protection of those who have to work at or near it has been attended to where required. Attention has been necessary, particularly in the case of oilengines which have been installed at many places during the year, and which are usually in the hands of those unused to machinery in motion. Return No. 4 gives full particulars of the guarding done,

Examination of Land Engineers and Engine-drivers. Examinations have been held during the year at—Alexandra South,* Auckland,* Blenheim, Christchurch,* Collingwood, Cromwell,* Dunedin,* Eltham, G-isborne,* Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Hawera, Invercargill,* Karamea, Mangarakau, Masterton, Napier,*, Nelson,* Pahiatua, Palmerston North,*, Timaru,* Waihi, Waitara, Wanganui,* Waverley, Wellington,* Westport,* and Whangarei. The examinations held were for extra first-class engineers, first-class engine-drivers, second-class engine-drivers, winding-engine drivers (for steam, air, and water), and locomotive and traction engine drivers. The total number of those who sat for these examinations was 653. Of this number, 448 were successful in passing, and 205 failed. Returns Nos. 7 to 13 give full particulars of those who passed these examinations, together with the different grades and classes of examination. Reciprocal certificates were issued to applicants who held certificates from Commonwealth States as follows : New South Wales, 2 ; Queensland, 3 ; Tasmania, 3 ; Victoria, 5 : total, 13. Regulations for the examination of applicants who wish to be examined for electric-winding certificates were gazetted on the 27th March, 1913, and examinations will take place shortly. Electricity as a motive power is being introduced at some of the mines, and will replace steam. Provision has been made in the regulations to enable those possessing steam-winding certificates to be examined without further service. Examination of Electric-tram Drivers. During the year 105 candidates sat for this examination, and of this number 88 passed and 17 failed. The Department has been indebted to the different Corporations and tramway officials for placing cars at the disposal of the Examiners to test the applicants' practical knowledge in car-manipulation. Great difficulty has been experienced in getting sufficient certificated men to fill the vacant posts at Invercargill during the year, and this will always be the case unless the qualifying service is altered to embrace service outside the Dominion. One prosecution took place during the year, when an uncertificated motorman had been employed to drive cars. Returns Nos. 14 and 15 give full particulars of those to whom certificates have been issued during the year. Boabd of Examiners. The Board of Examiners met for the conduct of business on ten occasions. A large amount of new business was dealt with, notably in connection with the issue of motormen's certificates for electric tramways. Mr. C. R. Vickerman, Superintending Engineer of the Public Works Department, who had been a member of the Board since the 11th July, 1907, retired from its membership during the year, when he severed his connection with the Government. During the whole of the time he was connected with the Board he was an honoured member of it, and his judgment in all matters proved to be sound and of great service. I trust that he will enjoy his retirement for many years. Accidents. No boiler explosion has taken place during the year in the Dominion, and there has been no accident or injury to any one working at or with boilers. The Department is proud of this result, and I trust this record will be maintained. With machinery in motion, however, I have to record a number of accidents. Several of these proved fatal, and, as is usual, quite a number occurred to those working with woodworking machinery. There were several accidents with lifts. This class of machinery is installed in nearly all the lofty buildings recently erected in the large centres. A lift is a most useful and handy appliance for goods and for passengers, but its control should be in the hands only of. those who thoroughly understand its use. The fencing and guarding of the cages of lifts, and the wells of lifts at staircases and landings in buildings, are inspected by the Department's Inspectors so as to eliminate the danger to inexperienced persons who frequent buildings containing lifts. The safety-appliance gears are tried from time to time to test their readiness to act should the ropes break that support the cage. So far very few accidents have occurred, but the owner cannot be too strongly impressed with the need to see that the person placed in charge of the lift should frequently examine the cage and its connections and immediately report any defect that he thinks may exist to the owner or to the Department. Returns Nos. 5 and 6 give full particulars of accidents reported to the Department. Postal and Police Departments. The Department is very much indebted to the officers both of the Postal and Police Departments for valuable assistance rendered during the year. The inspection fees have been collected by the Postal officials, and returns of same sent to this Department. This has enabled the Department to deal with defaulters. The officers of the Police Department have assisted in a great many prosecutions, not only in case of default in lifting certificates, but also in cases where owners have employed enginedrivers without the necessary certificates, and against engine-drivers themselves who have accepted positions without holding the necessary certificates. Action has also been taken in cases where sellers and purchasers of machinery and boilers subject to inspection have failed to notify the Department of these transactions.

Examination of Marine Engineers. Examinations for certificates of competency during the year have been conducted at Auckland,* Awanui, Christchurch,* Dunedin,* Gisborne, G-reymouth,* Hamilton,* Invercargill,* Kohukohu,* Napier,* Nelson,* New Plymouth, Opomii, Palmerston North,* Russell, Tauranga, Timaru, Wanganui,* Waitara, Wellington,* Westport,* and Whitianga. The candidates who sat for examination during the year total 349. Of this number, 292 were successful and 57 failed. The different grades for examination were : First-class marine engineer, second-class marine engineer, third-class marine engineer, river engineer, marine engine-driver, firstclass engineer of auxiliary sea-going powered vessels, second-class engineer of auxiliary sea-going powered vessels, and restricted-limits engineer of auxiliary-powered vessels. New regulations are under consideration at the present time which will bring the examinations into line with the British Board of Trade's recently issued regulations, and will embrace many new items. The fees for these examinations amount to £287 10s. Return No. 16 gives the names of the successful candidates, the various grades for which they passed, the total number of applicants, fees payable, and the number of candidates who failed to pass such examinations. , Explosives. At the Port of Wellington 212 permits were granted for the carriage of explosives on passenger and cargo vessels. Annual Survey of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. This department of our work has now grown to large dimensions, and requires the undivided attention of several of the Inspectors and Surveyors ; and, as this class of work is considered very onerous and important, the senior Surveyors are principally intrusted with it. The oil-driven launches plying for hire and subject to survey are very numerous in most of the principal harbours and rivers throughout New Zealand, and it is difficult in many cases to get them on the beach for hull examination. The necessity for the periodical examination of the hulls of these launches has been apparent at many of these surveys, and owners should appreciate the practical hints given at such times, which may, and often do, save them a great deal of delay and expense later on. The equipment and the special appliances for dealing with fire have received close attention. It is well known that the oil used for generating-power purposes in these launches is very inflammable, and the great point is to be able to promptly quench it in its incipient stage. A chemical fire-extinguisher which acts quickly has been placed on board each vessel surveyed, and in the larger boats two of them have been insisted on. A great many tests of suitable appliances for this purpose have been made by my officers, and a complete list of those passed is available. The powder type of extinguisher is not passed as suitable. The survey of steamships is practically completed and up to date, and in many cases, especially in connection with the surveys of the older vessels, a great many defects were made good. To cope with the repairs of ships, one company in New Zealand has erected adjacent to their wharves complete and up-to-date workshops fitted with good lifting-appliances and replete with modern machinery. Such conveniences make for efficiency and quick despatch in the carrying-out of repairs. Several new vessels have been completed during the year, and amongst them a new Government vessel for service on Lake Wakatipu. A photograph of this vessel is attached to the report. Both the hull and the machinery were built in the Dominion, and under the supervision of this Department's Inspectors. At the trial she proved herself capable of attaining the desired speed on a certain draft, and has run successfully ever since. Plans and specifications of each new vessel built have been submitted and passed before the work of building was begun. For this service fees are charged as provided for by statute. Sixty-eight of the vessels surveyed were fitted with new propeller-shafts, 15 had new propellers fitted, 9 had new blades fitted to their propellers, 1 had a new boss to the propeller, 15 had new engines fitted, 3 had new cylinders fitted, 3 had new main boilers installed, and 1 had a new donkey boiler installed. The number of surveys made during the year total 734. The fees for these surveys amounted to £3,808. A great many marine excursions on special occasions were made all over the Dominion, and without serious mishap. The detailed fittings and equipments were supervised in each case by the departmental officers before permission was granted. Special care has been bestowed on life-saving appliances during the year, and an amendment of the regulations to bring them into line with new regulations issued by the British Board of Trade is contemplated. Return No. 17 gives the total number of steamers and of auxiliary-powered vessels surveyed by the Surveyors of this Department during the year. It also gives the names and registered tonnage of each vessel, the nominal horse-power and indicated horse-power of steam-vessels, the brake horsepower of auxiliary-powered vessels, and the nature of machinery and propeller. The following is a brief description of the work involved in some of the most important surveys made during the year:— S.s. " Akaroa." —The following repairs to this vessel were found necessary, and were effected at the annual survey : Hull —A new shoe was riveted on to the bar keel under propeller aperture, and

a new small bracket was riveted on to the end of the keel for carrying the bottom pintle of the rudder. The rudder was taken out for examination of the head in the trunk, and two new iron hinge-bands were riveted on to the rudder-post for the rudder-pintles. Two new frames, reverse frames, and floorplates were put in bottom of hold. Two new angle-irons were riveted to the ends of the under deckframes on the port and starboard sides of hatch, and new deck-planks were fitted round the hatch and also over the boiler. The main boiler was thoroughly examined, and, owing to wasting on the outside of the boiler-bottom, the working-pressure was reduced 10 lb. The tail-shaft was drawn for examination, and the engines received a general overhaul. S.s. " Albatross." —In order to reduce the vibration of this vessel, several girder and T plates have been fitted in the fore and after holds. Two new planks have been fitted in the keel at fore and after ends. The main steam-pipes were annealed and tested by hydraulic pressure, and both tailshafts were drawn for examination. Two new deckhouses with open ends have been erected on the top deck as shelter for passengers, and the top deck amidships has been sheathed with 6 in. by 1 in. planking. Dredge " Canterbury." —This dredge was built in Renfrew, Scotland, and steamed out to Lyttelton, at which port she if engaged in dredging. She is of the patent twin-screw trailing suction cutter hopper type of dredge, and has suction and self-discharging pumps capable of raising and discharging 2,000 tons of material per hour. The leading dimensions of the vessel are : Gross tonnage, 1,113 ; register tonnage, 521 ; length, 204-2 ft. ; breadth, 38-15 ft. ; depth, 16-8 ft. There are four sets of compound engines. Two sets have cylinders each 13 in. and 26 in. diameter by 15 in. stroke, and are arranged to work on one line of shafting when the vessel is moving from place to place, but when the vessel is dredging they are disconnected, one set of engines propelling the dredge and one set driving the pumps. Steam is supplied at a working-pressure of 130 lb. per square inch by two marine multitubular boilers 13 ft. diameter and 10 ft. long. S.s. " Ghelmsford." —A new rudder-trunk and both bands for the rudder have been fitted. A new floor has been put in ladies' cabin. Six 6 in. by 3 in. channel iron frames have been put across hold and extended up about 5 ft. on each side of keelson, and spaced 4 ft. to 4 ft. 6 in., and bolted to sister keelsons. The boilers, machinery, and equipments were carefully surveyed. The whole length of the main steam-pipe was disconnected and tested by hydraulic pressure. P.s. " Clyde." —The different compartments of the hull of this paddle steamer received repairs as follows : No. 1 compartment —Several of the floors and the bulkhead were repaired, and two floors were cut out and straightened. No. 2—Gusset-plates were fitted on two floors to the frames. No. 3 — Seven floors were cut out, straightened, and reriveted ; diagonal and upright bracings were refastened. No. 4 —Seven floors were cut out and straightened, a steel plate 10 ft. by 10 in. by was fitted on bottom under derrick. No. s—Bulkhead5 —Bulkhead was repaired and the defective rivets were renewed. Kngine-room —A patch was put on the bottom, and defective floors and the bracings were re-riveted. All the repaired floors were strengthened with \ in. steel plates and 2 in. angle reverse bars. 180 ft. of 7 in. by 3 in. ironbark belting was fitted between 2 in. angles. A steel shoe 2 ft. 5 in. by § in. was fitted on the keel near the rudder. S.s. " Corinna." —Extensive repairs were made to this vessel's main boilers, and a new donkeyboiler was placed on board. The principal repairs to the main boiler, which had to be turned round for the purpose, were : Two large doubling patches fitted on the bottom of the shell, and two patches fitted on the bottom of the boiler-fronts and welded to old parts ; four compensating-rings fitted at bottom doors over the welded parts ; two patches fitted on the front ends of the centre furnaces at bottom ; a new bottom fitted in centre of combustion-chambers ; three corner patches fitted at saddles of centre furnaces ; all the cracks on the landings welded, and eight leaky rivets renewed. The main and auxiliary engines had a general overhaul, and the main pipes were tested by hydraulic pressure. The donkey-boiler, which is of the vertical cross-tube type and is 5 ft. 6 in. diameter and 11 ft. 4 in. high, was made in New Zealand from steel plates of approved brand. The plan and specification ot the boiler was submitted to the Department, and when some additional strength to the staying was made to the firebox and shell crowns it was approved for the required working-pressure. A Surveyor of Ships supervised the construction of the boiler and witnessed the test by hydraulic pressure to double the working steam-pressure. O.E.V. " Dawn." —This vessel was placed on a slip, and a new bottom put in the hull. All wormeaten planks were replaced by new ones, and new ceilings were fitted to hold. The engines were taken out of the vessel, and before being replaced they were thoroughly overhauled. S.s. " Eamslaw." —This steel twin-screw steamer was built by a Dunedin engineering firm for the New Zealand Government. She is engaged carrying passengers and cargo on Lake Wakatipu. She has a promenade deck running the full length of hull, and accommodation is provided for 1,072 passengers and about 40 tons of cargo. The plans of the hull and boilers were submitted to the Department before their construction was commenced, and after some alterations had been made were finally approved. The vessel's hull and boilers have scantlings of the highest standard. The principal dimensions of the vessel are : Length, 160 ft. ; beam, 24 ft. ; depth, 9 ft. There are two sets of triple-expansion jet condensing-engines with cylinders 12|-in., 20|in., and 34 in. diameter by 18 in. stroke, indicating about 500 horse-power for each engine. Two locomotive type of boilers have been installed to work at a pressure of 180 lb. per square inch. Superheater and forced draught are fitted to the boilers. The barrel of each boiler is 6 ft. diameter and 7 ft. 8 in. long, and the heating-surface of each boiler is 1,420 square feet. On the trial trip the vessel attained a maximum speed of 16-36 knots. This vessel was first erected in Dunedin, and re-erected at Kingston before being launched there. The propelling machinery and all other machinery details were made in Dunedin. The vessel during the whole period of construction was closely supervised by an Inspector of Machinery, in his capacity as a Surveyor of Ships.

Main boilers —All the plain tubes and one stay-tube were renewed. A small patch was fitted round the stay-hole in the back of the starboard combustion-chamber, and one new screwed stay was fitted. The donkey-boiler shell was patched under the safety-valve with a fin. plate 2 ft. 4 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. Machinery—New M.P. piston-rings were fitted. The M.P. slidevalve was planed up and fitted to the cylinder-face. The thrust-shaft bearings and couplings were trued up, and new feed and bilge-pump plungers and new circulating-pump rod were fitted. The steering-gear was overhauled, and the quadrant was straightened, rebored, and a new angle-iron fitted. The propeller-shaft was examined. The windlass was repaired, and new blocks were put in cablecompressors. Two new bower anchors, one kedge-anchor, and 105 fathoms of new cable-chain were placed on board. Equipments —New fore and main rigging and back stays, new main topmast, and main stays were fitted. New davits for the surf-boat and a new lifeboat and boat-falls were supplied. S.s. " Kestrel." —Between the tops of the forward and after deckhouses on the upper deck of this vessel a new shelter-deck has been fitted. Both tail-shafts were drawn for survey, and one new sternbush at stern end was fitted. One of the propeller-blades was renewed. A new crank-pin was shrunk in H.P. crank, and the crank-shaft was turned up. The main steam-pipes were annealed and tested by hydraulic pressure. Several rivets were renewed in the combustion-chamber of the main boiler. S.s. " Kanieri." —Extensive repairs were made to the hull of this vessel. On the starboard side one new plate, 11 ft. 9 in. by 3 ft. 3 in. by J in., was put in, and a 3 ft. 3 in. by 1 ft. by Jin. patch put on the bow just under the water-line. On the port side new plates of the following dimensions were fitted : two each 6 ft. by 3 ft. 3 in., one 4 ft. by 2 ft. 9 in., one strake 19 ft. 4 in. by 3 ft. 3in., all J in. thick. To the keel 18 ft. of new plate was fitted. Some ordinary frames and reverse frames in the holds and the top half of the collision bulkhead were renewed. The thickness of the hull-plates was tested by drilling holes in them. The tail-shaft was drawn for inspection during the year, and a new stern-bush was fitted. S.s. " Karamu." —This is a steel, screw, cargo-steamer, surveyed in New Zealand for the first time during the year. The registered particulars are : Length, 205 ft. ; breadth, 32-1 ft. ; depth, 15-7 ft. ; gross tonnage, 934 ; register tonnage, 452. The vessel has a raised quarter-deck, bridge-deck, long well forward, and topgallant forecastle. Accommodation for officers is amidships, under the bridge. The vessel and her machinery were built in Scotland. The propelling-machinery consists of one set of triple-expansion surface condensing engines, with cylinders 17 in., 27 in., and 45 in. diameter by 33 in. stroke, supplied with steam from two boilers 13 ft. 9 in. diameter and 10 ft. 6 in. long, at a pressure of 180 lb. per square inch. S.s. " Kotiti." —When this vessel was docked for survey the keelson under the boiler was strengthened with heavy channel steel bars about 15 ft. long, and the floors under the boiler were backed up by new three-quarter-length floors, bolted together and through bottom of ship. New deck-planking was fitted in the captain's cabin, the port alleyway, and the fore deck. A new rudderstock was fitted. In the boiler a short length at the back end of the furnace was cut out, and a new length with one corrugated ring was fitted. Several new tubes were fitted, and the boiler and main steam-pipes were tested by hydraulic pressure. A new lignum-vitse stern-bush was made and fitted, and the spare tail-shaft was shipped. S.s. " Kotuhu." —The principal repairs at the annual survey were to the tanks and to the floors under boiler-seats. All the tanks were tested, and at No. 3 tank, on the starboard side, the floors under boiler-seats were each sheathed with two plates 2 ft. 3 in. by 1 ft. 6 in. by § in., and strengthened with two angle-irons 2 ft. 2 in. long. Four floors were sheathed with plates each 2 ft. 3 in. by 1 ft. 5 in. by Yβ in. On the port side the floors under boiler-seats were each sheathed with two plates 2 ft. 3 in. by 1 ft. 5 in. by f in., and strengthened with two angles. This vessel was, shortly after survey, wrecked at the north tiphead, Greymouth. S.s. " Mahua." —This vessel is best described by her original name, " 80-ton floating crane." She was built in England, taken adrift and re-erected in Auckland. The crane can lift 80 tons weight at a radius of 62 ft. from the centre of crane-seating, and provision is made for lifting weights up to 10 tons at a radius of 74 ft. 6 in. with a separate set of hoisting-gear. For propelling purposes the crane has two engines of the vertical compound surface condensing type, with cylinders ll|in. and 22| in. diameters by 16 in. stroke. Steam is supplied at a pressure of 130 lb. per square inch from two multitubular marine boilers 14 ft. in diameter and 10 ft. long. The crane is engaged in work connected with the Auckland Harbour-works. S.s. " Maitai." —Several test holes were drilled in the hull-plating of this vessel at various parts. Several reverse frames were renewed in the bunkers and elsewhere. Several new ordinary tubes were fitted to the after starboard boiler. The dog-stays in the starboard furnace combustion-chamber of the main after-port boiler and in the donkey-boiler were refitted. The bottom half of the after tubeplate of the main condenser was patched, and several of the tubes were renewed. The condenser was afterwards tested. All the holding-down bolts of the main engine bed-plate were tightened, and a number of them renewed. O.e.v. " May Howard." —This is a wooden vessel, and she received a thorough overhaul at the annual survey. Twelve of the top timbers on the port side and one top plank amidships on the port side were renewed. All the sheet copper was stripped off, and the hull and the bottom were refastened, caulked, felted, and coppered. Six strakes of lining on the port side and one on the star-

board side were removed for examination of the timbers. A new false keel and five chain-plates and fastenings were fitted. S.s. " Moana." —On the starboard side of the hull a patch 15 in. by 12 in. by \ in. was fitted in the way of the engine-room bilges. In the bilges under port boiler, four floor-plates and one intercostal plate were sheathed. Two new |- in. angles were fitted to keelson, one 4 ft. by 4in. by 4in. and one 6ft. sin. by 3| in. by 3 in. Two 3f in. by 3J in. by \ in. angles, 4 ft. long, were fitted under one of the boiler-seats, and a patch 15 in. by 12 in. by § in. over the margin-plate on the forward starboard side of No. 1 tank. All tanks were tested to the deck-level. New piston-rods were fitted to H.P. and M.P. cylinders, and a number of tubes in the condenser were renewed. New wood was fitted to the stern-bush, a new feather was fitted into the tail-shaft, and the propeller-boss was refitted.

Several bunker bulkheads, after peak bulkhead, and tank-top under boilers were sheathed. Some of the holding-down bolts in main engine bed-plate were renewed. A new propeller-boss was fitted to the tail-shaft, which was drawn for examination. The auxiliary steam-pipes, which, owing to being of brazed copper, were due for testing, were tested by hydraulic pressure. Surveys op Ships for Seaworthiness. As soon as the notice of a mishap affecting the seaworthiness of a vessel had been made known to the local Surveyor of Ships, steps were taken to investigate its nature. In many cases several days were thus occupied before the repairs were completed and the vessel declared seaworthy. The causes which necessitated these surveys include collisions between vessels and with wharves, snags, <fee, strandings, defects in hull through bad weather, defective steam-pipes and fittings, leaky combustionchambers in main boilers, accidents in engine-room, breaking of shafting of propelling machinery, loss of propeller-blades, and fires in holds. The number of seaworthiness surveys made total seventy-four, and the fees amounted to £170. Return No. 19 gives a full description of each survey made. Government Steamers. The Government steamers surveyed during the year numbered ten, as follows : S.s. " Amokura," s.s. " Antrim," s.s. " Ben Lomond," s.s. " Earnslaw," s.s. " Hinemoa," s.s. " Janie Seddon," s.s.

Sailing-ships. At no period has so much care and time been bestowed on the survey and equipment of sailingvessels as has been done during the last year. The survey of sailing-vessels over a certain tonnage being now compulsory, the complete survey of most of these vessels has taken place during the year. The hulls of all the vessels dealt with have been examined very carefully to see that there were no defects due to natural decay, worms, or wear-and-tear. Great difficulty has been experienced in getting suitable places to sight the hulls externally, especially in Auckland, owing to the lack of slips and dock-accommodation for such a purpose, and in consequence delay in completing some of the surveys took place. The repairs necessary were fairly extensive in some cases, and, as most of these vessels have now been through the Surveyors' hands and have been practically reclassed, the surveys next year should be completed in less time, unless accidents occur in the meantime to materially damage the vessels. The total number of surveys of sailing-vessels carried out during the year was 109. Return No. 18 gives the names of these vessels, their gross and registered tonnage measurements, class of vessel, and the number of times surveyed. The total fees for the survey of these sailing-vessels amounted to £340 ss. Some of the principal surveys of sailing-ships during the year are as follows : — Scow " Arrah-na-Pogue." —This scow was built in Auckland last year under the supervision of a Surveyor of Ships. The vessel, which is built of kauri and sheathed with totara, has a gross tonnage of 187, and register tonnage of 100 ; length, 116 ft. ; breadth, 33-2 ft. ; depth, 7-4 ft. The scantlings of the hull were set out in a plan and specification which were approved by the Department. Ketch " Coronation." —The donkey-boiler on board this vessel was found in very bad condition at landings of shell and bottom of firebox. A new donkey-boiler of the vertical cross-tube type has been placed on board, and new steam and exhaust pipes for winch fitted. The hull of the vessel was cleaned and painted and sheathed where required, and some new cable and a new kedge-anchor were placed on board. Schooner " Eliza Firth." —This wooden sailing-vessel has been twice surveyed during the year. Six planks on the starboard side of the hull were taken out and renewed, and fourteen new timbers were put in. The covering-boards were renewed for 18 ft. on the starboard side and for 16 ft. on the port side. The inner skin in the hold was renewed where required. The steering-gear was thoroughly overhauled, and new wheel-chains fitted. Schooner " Era." —The hull of this vessel has been thoroughly overhauled on the slip. Several broken planks on the bottom and top sides were replaced by new ones ; all deck-beams and decking from scuttle forward to deckhouse aft have been renewed. Ballast-tanks have been fitted. Donkeyboiler, winch, and windlass have all been thoroughly overhauled. Scow " Ida." —This wooden scow, which is twenty-nine years old, had her hull well overhauled. Several new planks were put in the bottom of vessel, nearly the whole of the port-side planking was renewed, and also a portion of that on the starboard side, which was refastened along the edge, and sheathed with totara. Two new planks were fitted in the top of the cabin. Thirty fathoms of new cable, and new foremast, rigging, lanyards, sails, &c, were shipped. Schooner " Lady of the Lake." —The repairs to this vessel consisted of the renewing of nearly the whole of the bow, also several planks on the bottom, and some sheathing. Schooner " Lizzie Taylor." —On the port side of the hull four planks and six timbers were renewed. Thirty fathoms of new cable were placed on board. A new Oregon-pine mainmast 58 ft. long, also new main topmast, main boom, jib-boom, several stays, and halyards were fitted. Schooner " Moa." —The hull of this vessel was examined in dock, and repaired where required. The firebox of the donkey-boiler was removed, and a new uptake fitted. The firebox was badly pitted, and before being replaced was cement-washed. Compensating-rings were riveted round all sludgeholes.

Schooner " Ngaru." —Six new planks were put in the port bow where the worm was in evidence, and two new planks were put in the starboard bow where they had been fractured by the anchor. Seven pairs of angle-irons were fitted and bolted from the deck-beams under the deck where they were fractured. They were tied together with 9 in. by 4 in. timber, and bolted. All struts on the sides were replaced by new ones where required. The centreboard was refastened, and new sheaves and bolts for the hoisting-gear were fitted. New hoisting-gear was supplied for the after end. Scow " Onerahi." —This is a wooden vessel, built in New Zealand, launched during the year, and of the following dimensions : length, 73-2 ft.; breadth, 21-5 ft. ; depth, 445 ft. The tonnage is 47 gross and 25 register. The drawings and specifications of the hull were submitted for approval and passed by the Department. The material of the hull is all heart of kauri. The vessel is engaged carrying cargo in the home trade. Schooner " Rangi." —When the sheathing was removed from the stern under the starboard quarter several worm-eaten planks were taken out. New planks have been put in, caulked, and pitted, and covered with new totara sheathing. New totara sheathing has also been placed on about one-fourth of the bottom of the vessel. The donkey-boiler was cleaned out, and the mountings overhauled. A new pressure-gauge was fitted. • Gutter " The Lee." —This cutter has been surveyed twice during the year, and has had extensive repairs to her hull. A new iron bark false keel, 7 in. by 3 in., has been fitted to whole length of keel, and other renewals are : keelson, 9 in. by 7 in., several planks in bottom, port side, five bottom frames, ceiling of hold and stiffening timbers on each side fore and aft at turn of bilge. Several repairs were made to the rudder, and the tiller has been replaced by a new steering-wheel, spindle, blocks, ropes, &c. The windlass was also overhauled. Districts and Inspectors. Mr. Philip J. Carman, who filled the position of Senior Inspector of Machinery and Senior Surveyor of Ships in the Canterbury District, retired from the service on the 31st December, 1912, having reached the age-limit. He had been connected with the Department since the Ist April, 1893. He was attached to the Wellington District until the Ist April, 1895, and ever since then he has been in the Canterbury District. During the whole of his service he displayed great tact and judgment in dealing with both the inspection of machinery and the survey of ships, and has always had the entire confidence of the Department, shipowners, and machinery-owners. I trust that he will be long spared to enjoy his well-earned retirement. Mr. Bethune was transferred from Otago to fill the position vacated by Mr. Carman in the Canterbury District; Mr. Williamson was transferred from Timaru to take up the senior position as Inspector of Machinery and Surveyor of Ships in Otago vacated by Mr. Bethune ; and Mr. A. McKenzie, who had been stationed at Christchurch for some years, was transferred to Timaru to succeed Mr. Williamson ; Mr. Knowles, of the Otago District, was transferred to Christchurch to take up Mr. McKenzie's duties ; and Mr. Cooper, of the Head Office staff, was transferred to Dunedin to succeed Mr. Knowles. The following additions to the technical staff have been made during the year : Mr. John H. Knowles, appointed to Otago District on the 24th April, 1912 ; Mr. A. C. Reid, appointed to the Auckland District on the 31st July, 1912 ; and Mr. J. W. Townsend, appointed to the Head Office staff, Wellington, on the 24th October, 1912. Eeturns.

Auckland During the trip of this vessel from Ohiwa to Auckland, on the 22nd January, 1912, the crank-shaft of the main engines broke. The vessel was towed to Auckland by the s.s. " Aupouri," where a new crank-shaft was made and fitted. On the 17th February, 1912, this vessel was steaming between Kaiapoi and Lyttelton, when it was noticed that a patch on the port furnace and several tubes at the combustionchamber end were leaking. The leaks were due to scale accumulating between the tubes and on the furnaces next to the tube-plate. On arrival at Lyttelton the plain tubes were drawn and renewed and the boiler cleaned out. One patch was renewed, and another was enlarged and refitted. Both of the furnaces at the back end were re-riveted on the top. The boiler was then tested by hydraulic pressure and found to be tight. r e b. 17 S.s. Wootton Lyttelton

Vixen Auckland As this vessel was crossing the Matata bar on a trip to Auckland, on the 28th February, 1912, the top gudgeon of the rudder broke and the bottom rudder-pintle carried away. The vessel returned to Matata, where temporary repairs were effected enabling her to complete her trip to Auckland. A new steel bottom rudder-pintle was made, and straps fitted to both gudgeons. On the 20th March, 1912, when off Cape Egmont on a voyage from Kaipara to Dunedin, this vessel was struck by a heavy sea which washed away the galley and a boat and stove in the port bulwarks. The vessel put into Lyttelton for repairs, where a new galley was fitted, a new boat put on board, and the bulwarks repaired.. The vessel then continued on her voyage to Dunedin. This vessel was proceeding down Otago Harbour on a trip from Dunedin to Lyttelton, on the 29th March, 1912, when she grounded. She remained aground from 2.50 p.m. till 10.40 p.m., when she got off by means of her own machinery and proceeded on her voyage. On arrival at Lyttelton a survey was made, when it was found that no damage had been done to the vessel. When off Cape Campbell on the 29th March, 1912, proceeding from Wellington to Lyttelton, a stud in the intermediate piston broke, causing a fracture of the junk-ring. On arrival at Lyttelton a new junk-ring was made and fitted. Whilst lying at Lyttelton Wharf this vessel bumped against a projecting bolt in a pile, which made a hole in the hullplating, causing a leak. A covering patch was fitted over the hole. On the 23rd April, 1912, this vessel was proceeding from Lyttelton to Akaroa when the h.p. piston broke. Through the breaking of the piston the piston and connectingrod were bent, and the bolts in the bottom end of the connecting-rod were fractured. The vessel returned to Lyttelton, where a new piston, new end on the piston-rod, and new bottom end-bolts were fitted, and the connectingrod straightened. On the 20th April, 1912, when crossing Cook Strait on a voyage from Wellington to Picton, a slight leak was discovered in the neck of the starboard main steam-pipe. It was, however, decided to continue the voyage to the West Coast and back to Wellington. The pipe was repaired and afterwards tested to 360 lb. hydraulic pressure before being placed on board. This vessel was going from Tairua to Auckland via Mercury Bay on the 27th April, 1912, when the intermediate shaft of the main engines broke close to the oast-iron coupling. The tug " Pelican " towed the vessel into Mercury Bay, where temporary repairs were effected. The vessel proceeded to Auckland, where a new intermediate shaft was fitted. When proceeding down Otago Harbour on the 4th May, 1912, this vessel was forced against a beacon by a wave and a strong ebb tide. Upon examination of the hull it was found there were two cracks in the plating in the strake below the sheer-strake in way of bunkers on the starboard side. A butt strap was fitted over the cracks, and bosom-pieces were fitted to two of the frames. On the 9th February, 1912, this vessel was crossing the Bay of Biscay in rough weather, on a voyage from Liverpool to New Zealand, when a leak was discovered on the port side of vessel in way of No. 3 hold. On examination it was found that the plates were dented, and it is supposed the damage was done when the vessel bumped against a pile entering a lock in the Manchester Canal. On arrival at Port Chalmers the damage was repaired. The twelfth plate in H strake in way of No. 3 hold on the port side was taken off and re-riveted. The plate forward of this was riveted as far as the bulkhead, and five loose rivets were renewed in the fore peak. On the 17th April, 1912, when this vessel was half-way on her voyage from Port Chalmers to Australia, the first length of the tunnel shafting broke. Before the engines could be stopped four of the covers of the tunnel-bearings were broken, the thrust-shaft bent, the stools for bearings buckled, and the bulkhead stuffing-box broken. Temporary repairs were effected which enabled the vessel to get to Wellington, where the following repairs were effected : One new length of tunnel shafting was fitted; one length of tunnel shafting was skimmed up in lathe on journals and couplings; the thrust-shaft was straightened ; the collars, bearings, and couplings were skimmed up in the lathe, and the thrust-bearing was relined ; new covers were fitted to the tunnel-bearings ; the stools were repaired, the lower half of the bulkhead stuffing-box was renewed, and three new plates were fitted in the top of tunnel. tar. 28 Joseph Sims (schooner) Lyttelton far. 30 S.s.

Wairau Wanganui When steaming between Mokau and Waitara, on the 21st May, 1912, a fracture was detected in the main steampipe. On arrival in port the pipe was taken off and a patch brazed over the crack. After repairs the pipe was tested to 280 lb. hydraulic pressure. On the 6th May, 1912, this vessel left Kawhia under sail, and just after passing the Heads the wind failed and she drifted ashore on a sandy bottom. She remained, fast until the 14th, and was then hove off by the use of the kedge-anchors and the hand-windlass. The vessel fouled her anchor and it penetrated the hull on the starboard bow below the water-line. She was towed back to Kawhia and beached, when the damage caused by the anchor was repaired. This vessel left Wellington for Patea on the 1st June, 1912, and when passing the north end of Kapiti Island it was discovered that she was leaking considerably. It was decided to return to Wellington, and on arrival she was placed on the slip. The oakum had come out of part of the seam of the garboard-strake on the starboard side in the way of foremast. The defective seam was recanlked, and all the soft places in the hull were hardened up. On the 8th June, 1912, through the anchor fouling a pile whilst lying at the Lyttelton Wharf, the hawse-pipe was broken, and two plates in the bow were damaged. A new hawse-pipe was made and fitted, the two plates were renewed, and two of the frames were straightened. On the 15th June, 1912, a collision occurred off Point Jerningham, Wellington Harbour, between the s.s. " Opouri," inward bound from Lyttelton, and the s.s. " Kamona," leaving for Westport. There were severe rain-squalls at the time of the mishap. The damage to the vessel consisted of a dent in the top edge of the plating on the port bow ; the waterway was crushed in and a small crack was made in the plating just below the moulding ; the forecastle-head deck-planking was started from the stem to the windlass, and the plate under the deck was buckled at hawse-pipes. Temporary repairs were effected in Wellington. Permanent repairs were made on the vessel's arrival in Lyttelton. One plate on the bow was cut out and renewed, the waterway was cut out and renewed, and the deck and covering-board were renewed where [ay 28, 29 .. iy 28, 29 ..

The rudder was unshipped and a new piece welded into it, about 4 ft. long and a little larger than the original size. Two straps were also riveted round the stock and rudder to strengthen them. When lying at anchor in the Gisborne roadstead on the 2nd July, 1912, a crack was detected in the neck of the flange of one length of her main steam-pipe. The pipe was forwarded to Wellington for repairs, where a new piece about 9 in. long was fitted. The pipe was afterwards tested to 360 lb. hydraulic pressure. On the 14th July, 1912, on her ordinary trip from Auckland to Stanley Bay, she went ashore on a rocky bottom near Stanley Point. She soon floated off, but on examination it was found that about 10 ft. of the deadwood and keel had been damaged, and that all the blades had been stripped off the propeller. The damaged portions of the keel and the deadwood were renewed, and a new bow rudder and four new propeller-blades were fitted. On the 29th July, 1912, this vessel was lying at Lyttelton Wharf, when a fracture was discovered in the thrust-shaft. A new shaft was made and fitted in position. This vessel was bound from Whakatane to Whitianga on the 20th June, 1912. She was trying to beat to an anchorage under Whale Island during a.northerly gale when the mainsail carried away and the foresail split in three places. On account of this damage the vessel drifted on the beach six miles west of Whakatane River. She was got off on the 23rd June, and proceeded to Tauranga for repairs. New deadwood was fitted aft and a new stern-post provided. The rudder was repaired, some new sheathing was put on hull, and the vessel was caulked where required. This ferry-steamer left the Victoria Wharf during a fog at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 22nd July, 1912, and was going half-speed when she collided with the ferry-boat " Kestrel." The following repairs were found to be necessary : About 12 ft. of the belting, a number of the stanchions, and several deck-planks were renewed, and the bulwarks were repaired.

Anglo Saxon Dunedin On the 31st July, 1912, whilst proceeding up Otago Harbour to the Dunedin Wharf, this vessel touched the ground in the channel. On arrival at the wharf a survey was made, when it was found she had received no damage. This vessel was surveyed afloat on the 17th August, 1912, at Auckland, to enable her to proceed to Sydney, when everything was found in good order and condition. On the 19th August, 1912, this vessel was lying at the Jervois Quay Wharf, Wellington, when she was run into by the s.s. "John." The bulwarks and the belting round the stern were cut into and the planking under the counter was slightly started. About 6 ft. of the bulwarks and 10 ft. of the rail were renewed, and the planking under the counter was caulked. This vessel was proceeding from Auckland to Paeroa on the 11th August, 1912, and when rounding one of the bends in the Ohinemuri River near Paeroa she struck a snag which was projecting straight out from the bank. A hole about 3 ft. 6 in. long by 6 in. wide was made in the vessel's hull on the starboard side aft, allowing the water to rush in in sufficient quantity to sink her. A patch was put over the hole, the water was pumped out, and the vessel was floated on the 15th August, and towed back to Auckland for repairs. Three new angle-iron frames, a new stringer, and new gusset-plates were fitted. New hull-planking was fitted where required. This vessel was proceeding from Stewart Island to Oamaru on the 17th August, 1912, when the propeller-shaft broke forward of the stern-gland. Temporary repairs were effected, which enabled the vessel to proceed slowly. She was picked up by the s.s. " Maitai " and towed into Bluff Harbour. On a trip from Auckland to Paeroa, on the 21st August, 1912, this vessel's rudder was carried away through striking a snag in Thames River. The vessel was towed to Auckland, where a new rudder was fitted. This vessel was crossing the Patea bar on the 22nd August, 1912, bound for Wellington, when she grounded and remained fast for half an hour. She was got off by means of her own machinery, and proceeded to Wellington. She was found to be leaking, and on arrival at Wellington was placed on the Patent Slip for examination. It was found that the transom-timber, the after-deck beam, one side of the stern-post at stern-tube, and the after part of the keel were cracked. A number of the planks in the after part of the hull and deck were started. A new transom-timber and new deck-beam, a new rudder-trunk, and one new plank under starboard quarter were fitted. The new gunmetal shoe under aperture was extended 2 ft. forward to strengthen the after end of the keel; two gun-metal plates were fitted, one on each side of stern-post at boss, and were riveted through, above, and below the boss; a number of butts in hull-planking were refastened, as was also the after part of deck-planking. The hull topsides from midship aft were recaulked, the after rails were repaired, and about 6 ft. of the hull at the after end was rocoppered. On the 15th September, 1912, this vessel met with very bad weather on a voyage from Auckland to Suva, which caused her to roll heavily. The circulating-pump of the main engines lost its water through the heavy rolling, and as the vessel righted again the pump became overcharged and the bottom was knocked out of it. Temporary repairs were effected which enabled the vessel to' return under easy steam to Auckland, where a new brassjbottom was made and fitted. This vessel was going from Gisborne to Auckland, via Tolaga Bay, on the 18th September, 1912, when she touched some submerged object off Spring Island. She was docked at Auckland for examination, and the following repairs carried out: One plate was taken out of bottom under starboard bow, straightened, replaced, and re-riveted ; new ends wore fitted on two of the floor-plates; three floor-plates and frames were taken out of port quarter, straightened, replaced, and re-riveted, and 8 ft. of the keel-plate aft was renewed ; 7 ft. of plating in A strake on port quarter was renewed, and one new frame was fitted ; four rudderpintles were turned up and new bushes were fitted. While crossing the Bay of Plenty, on the 27th September, 1912, on a voyage from Wairoa, Hawke's Bay, to Auckland, this vessel sprung her rudder.

Auckland On the 30th September, 1912, this vessel, when bound from Kaipara Harbour to Auckland, broke her propeller-shaft. The vessel continued her voyage under sail, and on arrival in Auckland a new propeller-shaft was fitted. This vessel struck a rock off Jackson's Head on the 11th October, 1912. She continued her voyage to Nelson and Wellington. An examination of the vessel was made at Wellington, when she was found to have sustained no damage. This vessel was coal-laden bound from Westport to Foxton, and on 30th September, 1912, she grounded at the North Spit at the entrance to the Manawatu River. After discharging part of her cargo she came off on the 3rd October, apparently undamaged. While proceeding up the river to Foxton she commenced to leak in the forehold to such an extent that the fore part of the vessel grounded in the river. Temporary repairs were effected, and the water was pumped out, enabling the vessel to proceed to Wellington. She was placed on the slip, where sheatbingplates were riveted over the damaged part of the hull. The rudder-shank was also straightened. On the 17th October, 1912, this vessel was coming alongside the Wool Wharf in Wellington Harbour when she struck H.M.S. " Pioneer's " boat-davits. Two of the hull-plates well above the water-line were cut through. These were repaired by having bolted patches fitted over them. On the 22nd October, 1912, during the trip from Wellington to Lyttelton, this vessel lost a blade from the starboard propeller. On arrival at Lyttelton the vessel was docked and a new blade fitted. On the 22nd October, 1912, when berthing at No. 7 wharf, Lyttelton, during a strong south-west gale, this vessel was blown out of her course up against the wharf. Two of the hull-plates on the starboard bow were fractured at the landings of the second and third strakes below the sheerstrake, 2 ft. from the stem. A sheathing-plate 3 ft. by 3 ft. by f in. was fitted over the damaged portion. During the latter part of October this vessel encountered a strong southerly gale between Newcastle and Auckland. During the gale she shipped a considerable amount of water which carried away the poop-ladder, damaged the ventilator, broke the spare propeller-lashings, and strained the poop-deck so badly that it commenced to leak. A new poop-ladder and new ventilator were fitted. The poopdeck was caulked where necessary. On the 29th October, 1912, this vessel was lying at the Taranaki Street Wharf, Wellington. When the s.s. " Ngatoro " was going alongside the " Surrey " the fluke of her anchor pierced the hull-plating of the " Surrey." A sheathing-plate 30 in. by 18 in. by f in. was riveted over the hole. About two miles south of Rocks Point, on a trip from Wanganui to Westport, on the 2nd November, 1912, this vessel's rudder-stock broke. She put into Nelson, where a new end of a larger diameter than the old one was welded on. Oct. 14 S.s. Pateena .. Wellington Oct. 14, 16 S.s. Gertie .. Wellington Oct. 17,18 S.s.

Temporary repairs were effected at sea, which kept the pipe in position until the vessel made Wellington. A new pope-joint was fitted, and the pipe annealed and tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure before being placed on board. This vessel was lying at the Westport Wharf, on the 9th November, 1912, when the s.s. " Waipori" collided with her, denting the starboard bow-plating and loosening a number of rivets. The defective rivets were renewed and one gusset-plate was straightened. On the 28th May, 1912, when loading at New York for New Zealand, this vessel's bottom touched the ground. She was docked at Port Chalmers, when the following repairs were effected : Eleven of the floor-plates on the starboard side were renewed, seven of the floor-plates were straightened in position, and eleven hull-plates were cut out, straightened, and re-riveted in position ; three suctionpipes of the deck-pumps were renewed. After the above repairs were completed the ballast-tanks were tested by water-pressure. This vessel was proceeding from Lyttelton to Greymouth, on the 17th November, 1912, when the circulating-pump rod and foot-valve broke, and the pump-chamber cracked. The broken parts were taken out of the chamber, a blank flange was put over the stuffing-box on the cover, and the ballast donkey-pump was used for circulating purposes. The vessel then put into Wellington for repairs. A new chamber, foot-valve, and rod were made and fitted. S.s. Putiki Wellington Nov. 14, 15 Oct. 21; Nov. 7,14 S.s. Waltraute .. Port Chalmers ..

On arrival at Auckland the vessel was docked for survey and the following repairs effected : Several of the'floor-plates and several new reverse bars were fitted in the bottom under the after hold ; the stokehold bulkhead was renewed right across the bottom about 3 ft. up, and the plates forming the recess for the donkey-boiler were re-riveted along the bottom ; one new butt strap was fitted on top of keelson, and also one on the side; four rivets in the bottom of the hull were renewed, and the cement in the bottom was renewed where necessary. This vessel was making a trip from Napier to East Coast when on the 23rd October, 1912, in thick weather, she ran aground on the sandy beach near Makaramau. The vessel was refloated on the 10th November, and returned to Napier. She was placed on the slip, when six rivets were renewed in the port side of bottom and a small sheatbingpatch was riveted on seam between C and D strakes. On the starboard side 14 ft. of new angle-iron was fitted to the bottom of port belting, and 13 ft. of new belting and 12 ft. of new rail were fitted on port side. Bottom gudgeon of rudder was relined with magnolia metal. The rudder-blade of this vessel was carried away on the 11th November, 1912, during heavy weather, while the vessel was on a voyage from Tauranga to Auckland. A jury rudder was fitted, which enabled her to reach Port Charles. She was afterwards towed by the s.s. " Doto " to Auckland, when a new rudder was bolted to the stock and part of the rudder-trunk was renewed. On the 20th November, 1912, this vessel was crossing the bar of the Aorere River bound from Collingwood to Nelson. The propeller struck the bottom, the blow shearing the feather on the propeller-shaft. On arrival in Nelson a spare propeller-shaft and new propeller were fitted. This vessel was proceeding from Picton to Nelson, on the 25th November, 1912, when she touched Blarnine Island, Queen Charlotte Sound. She completed the trip to Nelson and back to Wellington, where a survey of the hull was made internally. A diver was engaged to examine the outside of the hull. She was found to have received no damage. This vessel was on a voyage from Wanganui to Sydney on the 20th September, 1912, and when sixty - five miles west by south from Wanganui she was dismasted. She was taken in tow by the s.s. "Arapawa" on the 21st September and towed into Wellington and refitted as follows: A kauri fore lower mast, 16J in. diameter, out of the " Pelotas " was fitted; new main and mizzen lower mast, 18 in. diameter, new kauri fore, main, and mizzen topmasts, fore and main top-gallant and royal masts were fitted; a new topsail, topgallant and royal yards, and a kauri bowsprit and jib-boom were also fitted; all standing rigging, stays, and guys were refitted, and a complete new set of sails with all runninggear complete was provided. When lying alongside the Glasgow Wharf, Wellington, on the 29th November, 1912, a crack was discovered in the main stop-valve chest of the centre after boiler. A new stop-valve chest was made, fitted, and tested to 360 lb. hydraulic pressure. On the 3rd December, 1912, when this vessel was lying at the wharf, Port Chalmers, a fire was discovered in the port side of cross-bunker. After the removal of the coal it was found that the lead suction-pipes for the ballast-tanks, which pass through the bulkhead, were melted. New pipes were fitted, and a patch riveted on the bulkhead where the pipes were jointed. On the 7th December, 1912, this vessel was towing a raft of logs between Tairua and Auckland when the port tailshaft broke off at the after end of brass liner. She proceeded to Auckland with her starboard engine. On arrival she was docked and a new propeller-shaft fitted. The outer stern-bush was relined with lignum-vitse. This vessel was making a voyage from Waitapu to Nelson on the 12th December, 1912, when a web of crank-shaft broke. On arrival in Nelson repairs were made. During the voyage of this vessel from Gisborne to Wellington, on the 18th December, 1912, she ran ashore off the mouth of the Tukituki River. She remained fast from 2.30 a.m. to 10 a.m., when she was towed off by the s.s. " Tangaroa," assisted by her own engines. The vessel resumed her trip to Wellington.

Dunedin On the 21st October, 1912, this vesseljbumped on the Southeast Spit, Maiden Island, through the buoy-rope carrying away. The vessel came off the same day unassisted. On arrival at Port Chalmers the vessel was docked, when the following repairs were found necessary : Sixty-eight rivets were renewed in the keel and rudder-post, a new bottom pintle was made for rudder, the centre pintle was re-riveted, and the bearings for the steering-gear screw were renewed. When this vessel was off Godley Head on the 14th January, 1913, between Kaiapoi and Lyttelton, the boiler commenced to leak. On examination it was found that the crown of combustion-chamber had in-between the girders, causing the stays to leak. On arrival at Lyttelton repairs were made by rejointing the nuts on all combustion-chamber stays. The boiler was tested to 160 lb. hydraulic pressure after repairs were completed. This vessel was on a trip from Blenheim to Wellington on the 12th January, 1913, when, owing to shortness of water in the main boiler, the combustion-chamber crown came down £ in. in four spaces between the girders. On arrival at Wellington the bulged portion of the crown was put back in position, six new stays were fitted in girders, the two top rows of tubes were expanded and the landings were caulked. When the steam was turned on to the main engines of this vessel on the 23rd January, 1913, at the wharf, Wellington, the main stop-valve chest was found to be fractured. A new stop-valve chest was made, tested by hydraulic pressure to double the steam-pressure, and afterwards fitted in position. On the 26th January, 1913, while this vessel was lying at Wellington wharf, a fire broke out in the coal-bunker on the port side. After the fire was extinguished an examination was made and the damage was found to be very slight. A little of the sheathing on the bulkhead had to be renewed. When lying alongside the Gladstone Pier, Lyttelton, on the 21st January, 1913, the vessel commenced to leak. Twelve rivets were renewed in the hull on port side, and the slack bolts in the belting were rejointed. During the voyage of this vessel from London to New Zealand a heavy head sea was met with, and the port anchor, not having been hauled tight in the hawse-pipe, worked about during the heavy weather. The hawse-pipe, which was getting thin with wear, was cracked by the movement of the anchor. The old hawse-pipe was cut out, and a new one weighing 3 tons 8 cwt. was made and fitted. This vessel was arriving at Greymouth from Gisborne on the 9th February, 1913, when she went ashore, the steeringwheel having been put over the wrong way. The forepeak tank and No. 1 ballast-tank were pumped out, and on the engines being put astern she came off after being aground forty-five minutes. On examination three dents were found in the bottom plating and the cement was broken in nine spaces. On the 21st February, 1913, when this vessel was lying at the wharf at Wellington, a crack was discovered in the main steam-pipe at one of the flanges. A new piece 9 in. long and a new flange were fitted to the pipe, and it was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure before being placed on board. This vessel was steaming between Wellington and Nelson, on the 26th February, 1913, when she took the ground at the French Pass. She remained aground for five hours, and floated off as the tide rose. On arrival at Nelson an examination was made, but no damage was found. On the 25th February, 1913, when at the Timaru Wharf, a fire broke out in the lower 'tween-decks of No. 5 hold of this vessel. After the fire was extinguished an examination was made and it was then found that several deck-plates were buckled, the sparring burnt, and the insulation damaged by water. The sparring on the starboard side of the 'tween-decks was renewed. On the 28th February, 1913, this vessel was being moved in Wellington Harbour from No. 16 wharf to the Eailway Wharf.

Bate of Survey. Name of Vessel. Where surveyed. Nature of Casualty, &a. 1913. Mar. 5 S.s. Waikana ;Dunedin This vessel was making a trip from Dunedin to the Kaik on the 1st March, 1913, when she grounded. An hour later, as the tide rose, with the use of her own engines the vessel came off. On examination it was found that the rudder-stock was twisted half a turn. The rudder was unshipped and the stock was straightened. On the 8th March, 1913, about 3.40 a.m., this vessel during foggy weather ran ashore in Ohariu Bay on the voyage from Wanganui to Wellington. She remained ashore until 7.45 a.m., and on arrival in Wellington a survey was made. Several dents were discovered in hull-plating on the bottom of vessel on the starboard and port sides. The vessel was placed on the slip, and about forty rivets were renewed. This vessel was steaming from Dunedin to Oamaru on the 12th March, 1913. When near Taiaroa Heads she was driven on the Mole by a heavy north-east gale, and remained fast until next day. The vessel was towed off by a tug and a dredge, and was taken to Port Chalmers, where she was docked. The following repairs were made : A fractured plate 17 ft. by 4 ft. 6 in. by f in. on the starboard side in the way of stokehold was cut out and renewed ; one floor-plate was straightened; 10 ft. of bulb-angle framing and 12 ft. of stringer angles were renewed; a number of rivets were renewed in the forward part of the stern-frame ; 110 rivets were renewed in the bottom of the hull under No. 1 tank, and sixty rivets were renewed in the margin angles forward; all the broken cement was renewed ; a new electric engine and dynamo were fitted. On the voyage from St. John's, Canada, to Port Chalmers, heavy weather was met with, during which the stern-post was fractured. On arrival at Port Chalmers the vessel was docked and the following repairs effected : Two straps, 6 ft. 9 in. by 9 in. by 3 in., were riveted over the cracked portions of the stern-post between the third and fourth rudder-pintles; the rudder-pintles were turned up and the gudgeons were bushed ; the propeller-shaft was drawn, and the stern-bush relined with lignum-vitse; the stoke-hold-casing was also repaired where necessary.
