1914. NEW ZEALAND.

MARINE DEPARTMENT: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1913-14.

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

My Lord, — Marine Department, Wellington, 29th July, 1914. 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, G.C.M.G., M.V.0., Governor of New Zealand.

Sir, — Marine Department, Wellington, 20th May, 1914. 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, 1913. This Act has been assented to by His Majesty the King. It came into force on the Ist instant. The principal provisions of the Act are that a person holding a third-class seagoing engineer's certificate may be engineer of a steamer or mechanical-powered vessel plying within restricted limits; that Superintendents of Mercantile Marine at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin may engage seamen for ships lying at outports; that the Minister may appoint Inspectors of Seamen; that certificated cooks need not be carried by intercolonial ships; that vessels may be classified according to their construction and stability for the purpose of carrying deck cargo, that when a seaman of a ship registered in New Zealand, who was engaged in the Dominion, fails to join his ship before she sails, a Superintendent may accept from the master or may require the master to leave with him the man's wages, discharge, and effects, whereupon the man shall be deemed to be discharged from the ship; that ships of not less than 300 tons register which have been approved by the Minister as training-ships may carry a less number of able seamen than must be carried by other ships, and that the .Minister may exempt such ships from payment of light dues; that when a seaman is injured on board a ship or in connection therewith, necessitati]ig medical treatment, the master shall procure the services of a doctor, and, if the doctor so advises, send the man to a hospital; that the Governor may make regulations regarding the build, equipment, manning, inspection, licensing, and working of surf-boats; that in cases where a Superintendent declines to sue for the wages and maintenance of a sick seaman the man himself may do so; and that open launches plying for hire shall not carry cargo in the space allotted to passengers. Harbours Amendment Act, 1913. This is a short Act which was necessary to make provision for filling vacancies on Harbour Boards in cases where non-elective members cease to hold their seats before the expiration of the time for which they were appointed.

Mercantile Marine Offices. The Superintendents of Mercantile Marine and their assistants have carried out their duties in a very satisfactory manner. The tact exercised by them, especially during the recent strike, is worthy of commendation. Owing to the decision of the seamen not to engage upon any ship during the recent industrial crisis, it became necessary, in order to prevent the sea-carrying trade of the Dominion becoming completely paralyzed, to exercise the powers given by .section 57 of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909. This section gives power to the Minister to exempt any ship from any specified requirement of the Shipping and Seamen Acts, or to dispense with the observance of any such requirement, if he is satisfied that the requirement has been substantially complied with, or that compliance is unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and that the action taken or provision made is as effective as, or more effective than, actual compliance with the requirement. Under the authority of this section ships were, during the strike, exempted from the manning requirements of the Act in the case of seamen, firemen, trimmers, and greasers, when the Department was satisfied that the crews carried were as effective as the crews required by the Act. A return of these exemptions will be presented to Parliament in accordance with the requirements of the Act. A return is appended showing the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the different ports and the amount of fees received for the engagement and discharges. The number engaged was 22,330, and the number discharged 21,718. The amount of fees received was £3,015 18s. In the previous year the engagements were 20,554, the discharges 20,378, and the amount of fees received £2,801 17s. The transactions at the four principal ports were : — Engagements. Discharges. 6 g d Auckland ... ... ... 6,834 6,916 973 6 6 Wellington ... ... ... 7,751 7,159 992 19 6 Lyttelton ... ... ... 1,757 1,766 250 19 6 Dunedin and Port Chalmers ... 2.730 3,052 408 4 6 During the previous year they were — 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 Messrs. L. Flower, W. N. Poole, and W. J. White, Postmasters at Awanui, Kaiapoi, and Foxton respectively, have been appointed Superintendents of Mercantile Marine at those places, so as to give them power to deal with seamen. Proceedings for breaches of the law in regard to seamen were taken by the Department, with the following results: W. E. Wahlstrom, master of the s.s. " Putiki," for giving the cook a " V.G." discharge when such was not a true report of the man's conduct —fined £1 and costs; and G. Lang, master of the scow " Oban," for carrying seamen to sea without entering an agreement with them —convicted and ordered to pay costs. Masters, Mates, and Engineers. The examination of candidates has been carried out in a satisfactory manner by the various examiners. Four hundred and eight candidates passed and 132 failed. Of those who passed, 240 were masters, mates, and engineers of seagoing ships, 53 were masters and engineers of steamships plying within restricted limits, 5 were masters of fishing-boats and of cargo-vessels up to 25 tons register, 1 was master of a sailing-vessel plying in harbours and rivers, 22 were engineers of seagoing ships propelled by mechanical power other than steam, and 87 were engineers of similar vessels plying within restricted limits. Ihe percentage of passes in the whole number of examinations was 60J, which is a better result than last year, but in the foreign-going examinations the percentage was only 47J, which is not quite so good as fast year. This was no doubt due to the new and more difficult problems connected with the chart-work which were adopted. His Excellency the Governor has cancelled the New Zealand certificates of competency as home-trade master and foreign-going first mate held by J. M. Etheridge, in consequence of his having been convicted of theft. The following persons have been prosecuted by the Department for offences connected with certificates, viz. : W. Smith, for running launch " Sea Wolf " without certificated man in charge—fined £2 and costs; G. Reading, for similar offence—fined £1 and costs; F. Rattenbury, for running launches without certificated man in charge- -fined £2 and costs; G. Lang, for acting as master of scow "Oban" without holding proper certificate—fined £1 and costs; and Titipa Harris, for being in charge of licensed launch without holding certificate or boatman's license —charge dismissed on ground that vessel was not plying for hire. Registration of Shipping. Returns are appended showing the vessels registered in New Zealand on the 31st December last, and the number of seamen employed in them. On that date there were 225 sailing-ships, of 31.619 registered tonnage, and 391 steamships, of 127,691 tons register, as against 242 sailing-ships, of 34,308 registered tonnage, and 374 steamships, of 121,772 tons register. The number of seamen and boys on board at the end of 1913 was 5,477, as compared with 4,983 at the end of the previous year.

Survey of Ships. During the year certificates were issued to 332 steamers, 428 oil-engine vessels, and 112 sailing-vessels, as compared with 337 steamers, 537 oil-engine vessels, and 119 sailing-vessels at the end of the previous year. The following limits have been defined to be river and extended river limits : — Hicks Bay: River limits, inside bay; extended limits, between Hicks Bay and Te Araroa. Akaroa : Extended river limits, between Akaroa Head on the north, including lighthouse landing, and a point not more than a mile to the south of Iron Head. Otago Harbour : Extended river limits for pilot vessels, not beyond eight miles outside Taiaroa Head. The " Galvo " fire-extinguishing appliance has been approved for use on motor-boats. Proceedings were taken by the Department for the following breaches of the law in connection with survey certificates, viz. : Captain J. Carlton, for carrying too many passengers— fined 10s. and costs; G. Reading, for running a launch without a survey certificate—fined £1 and costs; F. Rattenbury, for running launches without survey certificates —ca.se dismissed on ground that law did not require survey. (The Department appealed against this decision, and the Supreme Court allowed the appeal. The Magistrate then convicted without imposing a fine or ordering payment of costs.) Captain J. Davies, master of s.s. " Pupuke," for carrying too many passengers —fined £2 and costs; G. hang, for running scow " Oban " without survey certificate—convicted and ordered to pay costs; Northern Steamship Company, for carrying too many passengers on certain of its steamers —fined £2 and costs on each of sixteen charges, and os. for each of the 247 passengers carried in excess of the proper number; Captain Somerville, of the " Caed Mile Failte," for not carrying proper lights—fined £2 and costs; and J. Spencer, master of cutter " Stag," for lying at anchor without anchor lights —fined £3 and costs. Deck-cargo Regulations. The deck-cargo regulations are working well, and there have been very few attempts at overloading. Inspections are made by the Surveyors before the vessels leave port, and if there is found to be more cargo on deck than allowed by a vessel's license the excess quantity has to be put below hatches or ashore. The regulations have been amended to provide that in the case of ships the whole of whose deck cargo does not consist of timber the alleyways are always to be kept clear of cargo and live-stock, and that there is to be a clear space of not less than 3 ft. wide cither on one side or the other, or part on one side and part on the other; also, that on ships the whole of whose deck cargo is timber it may be stowed from rail to rail, secured to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Mercantile Marine. Ihe fee for the inspection of a ship for a deck-cargo license has been reduced from £1 to 10s. Wireless Telegraphy on Ships. In pursuance of the provisions of section 50 of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, regulations have been made requiring New-Zealand-registered ships which are authorized by their ordinary certificates to carry 150 passengers or more at sea to be fitted with wirelesstelegraph apparatus. These regulations will come into force on the Ist July next. Deceased Seamen's Estates. The estates of twenty deceased seamen have been dealt with during the year. The amount received on account of them was £168 17s. 2d., and the amount paid to relatives and other claimants was £129 4s. 9d. The sum of £47 175., which had remained unclaimed for over six years, was paid into the Public Account. Particulars of the estates are given in a return which is appended. Wrecks and Casualties. During the year seventy-six inquiries into casualties to ships were held, seventy of them being preliminary and six Magisterial inquiries. Appended are tables showing the casualties and the analysis thereof. Those on or near the coasts of New Zealand numbered eighty-seven, representing 62,733 tons register, as compared with 103, of 45,001 tons, during the previous year. The number of lives lost was five, as compared with thirty-three in the previous year. One life was lost in the explosion which destroyed the s.s. " Moa," and four in the loss of the auxiliary fishing-cutter " Iris " at Bluff. Nautical Publications. The Nautical Almanac for 1914 was issued at the beginning of December last, and from the demand for copies it is clear that its popularity is not abating. The Department has also issued a small book, " Modern Up-to-date Navigation," prepared by Captain Blackburne, Nautical Adviser to the Department. The book is on sale at Is. 6d. a copy. A fair number of the ABC Azimuth Tables issued by the Department continue to be sold. The practice of importing Admiralty charts and selling them at Mercantile Marine Offices at a little over cost price has been continued, much to the convenience of shipmasters.

Notices to Mariners. Appended is a leturn of the Notices to Mariners relating to New Zealand matters which have been issued by the Department during the year. In addition to these notices, a large number which were received from Great Britain, Australia, and the United States of America have been published by the Department and circulated for the information of mariners. Meteorological and Weather Office. During the year new climatological stations have been established at Rakaia, the Hermitage, and at the Half-way House at Mount Egmont, and considerable increase has been made in the number of rainfall-stations, but the number of weather-reporting stations is practically the same as last year. District weather notes and a general summary of the ruling weather and storms have been published monthly in the Journal issued by the Department of Agriculture. In response to numeious requests from shipmasters, an extension has been made in the wireless forecasts which are sent out every evening, and special reports have been sent to ships whenever required. The wireless messages received from Macquarrie Island during the year proved of considerable value for forecasting purposes. Government Steamers. The " Hinemoa " has been employed on her usual work of tendering lighthouses, in overhauling, cleaning, and painting the buoys and beacons under the control of the Department, and in locating reported dangers. She has also erected a beacon on D'Urville Rock, in the Hauraki Gulf. She has now been running for thirty-eight years, and will have to be replaced by another steamer before long. Plans and specifications for a suitable vessel for the work to be carried out have been prepared, and I recommend that a vote be taken during the coming session so that a new vessel may be procured. During the strike at the end of last year the seamen and firemen of the " Hinemoa " went out at the call of their union, but no difficulty was experienced in obtaining other men. Most of the new men obtained at first were, however, inexperienced, and this made the time an arduous and anxious one for the master, deck officers, and engineers, to whom the thanks of the Department are due for the way in which they worked to enable the lighthouses, etc., to be attended to. In order to prevent a recurrence of similar trouble, all the officers and crew of the vessel have been made permanent employees of the State, and given the same privileges as regards leave of absence, superannuation rights, &c, as are enjoyed by other Civil servants. Their pay has been made a little higher than that of the crews of privately owned steamers. After completing her attendance on the battleship " New Zealand " in May last year the training-ship " Amokura " was moored in Wellington Harbour for the usual winter instruction to the boys. In addition to the usual instruction in seamenship on board during the winter, the boys attended school at the ship's schoolroom on the Thorndoii Rsplanade, where they were taught by a teacher supplied by the Technical School, the Department paying his salary. The teacher speaks well of their conduct and of the way in which the} 7 did their work in school, and the examination results at the end of the school-term were very good. Arrangements have been made with the Union Steamship Company to take some of the best of the boys on board the s.s. " Aparima " without payment or premium, for the purpose of training them as officers, the only concession given to the company for this being the exemption of the ship from payment of light dues in New Zealand. Under this arrangement six boys joined the "Aparima" in September last, and four will join each year in future. Those who joined in September were C. G. Cullen and S. Richter, who came from Eltham; H. A. Brockett, from Gore; C. Gandy, from Wellington; R. A. K. Lovett, from Bluff; and W. A. Neale, from Waikaremoana. With few exceptions the boys have behaved well. In the case of those whoso behaviour has not been good they were boys whose parents had evidently sent them to the ship because they needed discipline, and fh such cases they soon found discipline irksome. The health of all on board has been good. During the spring months and early summer last year the vessel visited Queen Charlotte Sound, Otago, Bluff, Preservation Inlet, Stewart Island, Picton, Port Underwood, Nelson, and the Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes, and Bounty Islands. After the midsummer holidays she visited the Kcrniadec Islands, Russell, and Auckland, and in March last she made another visit to the southern islands and also called at Akaroa and Oamaru. Her visits to the outlying islands were made for the purpose of searching for castaways and examining the depots of clothing and provisions which are maintained on those islands. An evaporator and distiller have been installed in the ship, lhey work well, and enable sufficient water to be distilled to meet all requirements on board when the ship is cruising. Lighthouses. The Department has had under consideration the questions as to the erection of a lighthouse on the Three Kings, but it has not yet been able to solve the question as to the best way of marking these islands. Owing to the precipitous nature of the Western King it would be a very difficult and expensive matter to erect a light on it, and if erected it would be very expensive to maintain, as owing to there being not many days in a year when a landing can be effected it would be necessary to obtain and maintain a special steamer to attend to it. Moreover, the island is rather high for a light, being 600 ft. in height.

Auckland shipmasters have urged that a light should he erected on the top of the Big King, but as this is 995 ft. high, and five miles from the danger, a light there would be enveloped in fog whenever it was foggy and would therefore l>e of no use when most wanted. A design for a lighted buoy to be moored off the Western King iias been submitted to the Department by the Acetone Illuminating and Welding Company (Limited), and this is under consideration. There is also a proposal to instal a wireless apparatus on the Big King to indicate to a ship her position by means of a wireless compass on board. Full information regarding the use and utility of this instrument is now being obtained. The Marine Engineer has just visited the Western King, but his report is not yet to hand. The tower for a new light on Karori Rook, in Cook Strait, is now in course of construction, but the work is very glow owing to frequent and continued southerly seas which impede the work. The lantern and acetone-acetylene apparatus have been procured, but one ease has gone astray in the course of shipment from Sweden. Steps have been taken to get the missing part duplicated, and it is anticipated that it will be here by the time the tower is completed. A track has been constructed from the landing-place to the site for the proposed light on Channel Island at the southern entrance to the Hauraki Gulf, and the site prepared; the necessary iron tower has been built in Auckland, and the automata acetone-acetylene apparatus has been procured. It is proposed to erect the tower and install the light at an early date. A light on Flat Rook, in the Hauraki Gulf, would be of considerable value to shipping, and it is proposed to make the necessary provision on this year's estimates. Incandescent apparatus for eight more lighthouses has been procured from England, and eight of the lights whioh at present have oil-burners will be converted into incandescent lights as soon as the Department's expert, who is now engaged on the erection of the Karori Rock Lighthouse, can be spared from that work. Steps are being taken to obtain automatic acetone-acetylene lights for Nelson and Ponui Passage Lighthouses. When these are installed there will be better lights, and the salaries of three keepers will be saved. During the year I have inspected the lighthouses at Castle Point, Portland Island, East Cape, Cuvier Island, Ponui Passage, liritiri, Mokohinou, (ape Brett, Cape Maria van Diemeii. Kaipara, Godley Head, Akaroa Head, Moeraki, Taiaroa Head, Cape Saunders, .Nugget Point, Waipapapa Point, Dog Island, Centre Island, Puysegui , Point, Cape Foulwind, and the Brothers. These stations were found to be in good order, but new dwellinghouses are required at Tiritiri, as the present ones are very old. During the year one Principal Keeper retired on superannuation, two Principals died, one Principal and five assistant keepers resigned; one assistant was transferred to the s.s. " Hinemoa," one to the Railway Department, and one to the service of the Auckland Harbour Board, the lights under his charge being transferred to the Board at the same time. Four assistant keepers were promoted to be Principals, and twelve new appointments of assistant keepers were made to fill the vacancies caused by the promotion and retirement of assistants. The necessary additions, repairs, &c, have been made at lighthouse-stations as usual. Marine Store. A contract lias been let for the erection of a new store for the Department on the new reclaimed land near the King's Wharf, and the building is, in fact, nearly completed. As soon as it is finished one of the present stores on the site near the railway-line will lie moved to the site where the new store is being erected, as the Railway Department requires the land on which the stores at present stand. Fog-signals. The explosive fog-signals at Pencarrow Head, Godley Head, and Cuvier Island have been kept in good working-order. As it became dang< runs to go down and up the old track to the signal at Godley Head owing to falling pieces of rock, it was decided to make a new track. This has been done, ami a shorter as well as a safer track has been provided. In 1911 this Department provided and erected a fog-signal at Patiti Point, Timaru, the Timaru Harbour Board undertaking to maintain it. Its use by the Board was discontinued on the 31st December last, and the signal has been handed back to the Department, which proposes to erect it at Stephen's Island. The amount of light dins collected during the year was £41,745 12s. 4d., as eumpared with £41,406 7s. 4d. during the previous year. Harbours. The work of cleaning and painting the buoys in the harbours under the control of this Department, and overhauling their moorings and renewing them when necessary, has been done by the s.s. " Hinemoa." On the 9th January last the beacon which carried the Wigham light in the Helensville River, Kaipara Harbour, was knocked over through the s.s. " Wairua " colliding with it. It was then found that the piles had been riddled by the teredo. A new beacon lias been erected, and the light has been replaced on it. Steps arc being taken to place a lighted buoy at Beacon Beach, on the Wairoa River. A contract for the necessary buoj was recently let, and the required light apparatus is being procured. In Hokianga Harbour a new landing-stage and a horse-landing have been constructed at Kohukohu; obstructions are being removed from the Taheke River; sunken logs have been removed from the Waihou River; and the work of constructing a proper breastwork round the

reclamation which was made by the Kauri Timber Company by the deposit ot sawdust and slabs lias been put in hand by this Department, to which the land belongs. When the work is completed it is intended to cut the land up into suitable sections, road it, and then lease it. The breastwork which the Department constructed on the up-river side of the Kohukohu wharf requires to be extended a little further up, and i recommend that provision to enable this to be done be made in this year's estimates. Application having been made by several persons for licenses to occupy sites for buildings on the foreshore at Rawene, it has beeu decided to cut the available foreshore up into sections and lease them. A light is required on a dangerous rock in the Narrows, and a landing-stage is needed at the Kawene wharf. It is proposed to make provision for these in the current year's estimates. A sum of £124 18s. 6d. has been expended in improving the channel at Waitapu. In consequence of the small shipping trade to Okarito the services of the Harbourmaster as a permanent officer have been discontinued, and an arrangement has been made with him to guide vessels in and out of the river at £5 a trip. If a vessel calls off the bar but does not enter he is to receive half the above amount. He is also allowed to reside in the Department's house on condition that he executes any necessary repairs. The Whangape Timber Company has been prosecuted for depositing sawmill refuse in Herekino Harbour. A fine of £2 and costs was imposed. The sum of £1,440 13s. 4d. was collected for pilotage and port charges in respect <>i harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £1,786 17s. during the previous year. A return of the amounts collected at the various ports, and also the amounts collected at ports under the control of Harbour Boards, is appended. A return of the harbour-works approved by the Governor in Council and of licenses to occupy foreshores is also appended. Mr. G. T. Shoebridge has been appointed Harbourmaster at Ngunguru, and Mr. J. Harrison has been appointed to look after the light at the entrance to Whangaparapara Harbour, in place of Mr. G. Cunis. resigned. The Department has continued to issue licenses to persons to take shingle and sand from various beaches in the Hauraki Gulf and other places. There is a large demand in Auckland for the material for building purposes, and the Inspector of Beaches has to be very vigilant to prevent its being illegally taken. A contract has been let for the survey of a reserve 29J miles round the Coromandel and Thames foreshores. It is considered that it would be advisable to make such a reserve to prevent any damage being done to private land by licensed persons taking shingle and sand from the beaches. The following proceedings have been taken by the Department against persons for illegally taking shingle, &c., viz. : S. Clare, master of the cutter " Kiwi " —fined £5 and costs; W. Carsen, master of cutter " Nellie Mason " —fined £10 and costs. Fisheries. The question as to the conservation and improvement of the New Zealand fisheries is one of very great importance to the Dominion, and in order that the best advice might be obtained arrangements were made with the Government of Canada to allow Professor Prince, the Canadian Commissioner of Fisheries, who has a world-wide reputation in connection with fish and fisheries, to" visit New Zealand for the purpose of examining and reporting on our fisheries. He arrived in Auckland on the 7th ultimo, and is now examining the fishing-grounds. The rock-oyster beds in the Hauraki Gulk and the Bay of Islands were picked by the Department last season, and. they yielded sufficient oysters to meet all demands —in fact, more could have been picked had they been wanted. Considering the bad state most of the beds were in when the Department took over the picking in 1908, it shows what proper conservation and proper picking can do. Departmental control and picking have wonderfully improved the beds, and enabled the public to obtain oysters at a reasonable price, whereas for some time before the Department took over the working of the beds oysters were dear, and the beds were becoming so rapidly depleted that-it would not have been long before they were worked out. In past seasons the smallest quantity of oysters sold by the Department in one lot has been one sack, which has compelled a person who wanted a smaller quantity to either combine with others to purchase and divide a sack, or else to buy from dealers at, in many cases, a considerably increased price. So as to extend the privilege of buying at a reasonable price to persons who require only small quantities, it has been decided to sell them at the depot at Auckland this season in quantities of not less than five dozen at Is. for that quantity, or 3s. for a kerosenetin full, a tin containing about eighteen dozen. During last year's open season —that is, from the Ist May to the 31st October—9,o69 sacks of oysters were taken, and sold for £6,167 14s. The cost of picking and selling, including interest and depreciation on the cost of the oillaunches used by the Inspectors, was £4,797 14s. Bd., giving a net profit of £1,359 19s. 4d. Part of this profit was used in replanting depleted areas at Rabbit and Long Islands and the coast between Kikowhakariri Bay and Coromandel Harbour; also at Port Fitzroy. Great Barrier, and in continuation of the practice of replanting depleted areas in tin , Hauraki Gulf, planting has this season been done on the foreshore between Kirita Bay and Tapu. and a 1 Manaia and Te Kuma Bays and adjacent islands. The oysters on the areas replanted in previous years are looking well. Of the oysters picked, 335 sacks were sold at Russell, 7,962 at Auckland. 277 at New Plymouth, 217 at Gisborne, 96 at Napier, 64 at Wellington, 18 at Hokitika, 33 at Greymouth, 19 at Nelson, 19 at Westport, 12 at Patea, 4 at Wanganui, 4 at Waitara, and 9 at Christchurch.

I went over some of the beds in the Hauraki Gulf, at the Bay of Islands, in January last, and found them ill first-class condition. In the Bay of Islands, besides growing on the rocks in the usual way, large quantities of oysters are growing on small stones which form shinglebeaches in some of the bays, the flouting spat having adhered to the stones. In Hokianga Harbour, where the beds have been closed for some time, the oysters are still small, although quantities of them are mature, and it would, I think, be wise to pick some of them, as those on top are only smothering those underneath. The Kaipara beds are in fail- condition, and if necessary a quantity of oysters can be got from them this season. The beds on the foreshore of that part of Kaipara Harbour, Kiakia Bay, Otamatea, for a distance of 50 chains from Te Kopua Point, have been set aside as an oyster-fishery from which Maoris may take oysters for their own food at all times. The oysters taken from the Foveaux Strait beds last season met all requirements. Of those taken last year 361,225 dozen, valued at £2,984, were exported to Australia, and during the season about 1,674,680 dozen, valued at about £7,790, were disposed of in New Zealand. Toheroa. —The canning of toheroas is carried on in the Kaipara district, and in order to preserve some of the beds for the use of the public who take them for their own use, the taking of this shell-fish for the purpose of canning or otherwise preserving, or for selling fresh, has been prohibited within half a mile on either side of Glink's Gap. The following is the purport of the reports of the local Inspectors of Fisheries : — Chatham /slant/x. —The fishing during the past year has been fairly successful, but the catcli has not been quite so good as during the previous year. During the year about a thousand cases of flounders caught in the Te Whanga Lagoon were shipped to New Zealand. These fish were in rather poor condition, owing apparently to the lagoon being overstocked. Blue cod and groper are as plentiful as ever. There was a shortage of competent fishermen. Bay of Islands. —The principal fish taken during the year were schnapper, mullet, flounders, maumau, kahawai, kingfish, and crayfish. These were very plentiful, and in some instances the fishermen had some difficulty in selling their catches at anything like remunerative prices. There are two mullet-canneries in the district —one at Purerua, in the Bay of Islands, and the other at Awanui. At the former place 545 cases and at the latter 174 cases were canned, the approximate value of which was £1 a case. The mullet arc very plentiful, whereas a few years ago they were scarce, lliere are four smokehouses at which schnapper, maumau, and mullet are smoked. The number of fishing-boats registered at the port is fifty-five, whose crews total 129 persons, of whom eighty-nine are Europeans and forty Maoris. The humpback-whaling carried on by Messrs. Jagger and Cook during the season was fairly successful, fifty-six whales, which produced 270 tons of oil and 60 tons of bonedust, having been taken. Last season 5,558 bags of oysters were picked, and the beds look well for the coming season. Hokianga. —The oysters on the beds are not large, but they are fairly plentiful. The principal fish caught were schnapper, mullet, kahawai, rock-cod, herring, moki, and terakihi. The condition of the fish was good, and schnapper and mullet were very plentiful, especially the latter. Mussels, pipis, cockles, escallops, and crayfish abound on the coast. There are several smokehouses in the district. Eighteen fishing-boats, were licensed from March to December, 1913, and eight from January to March, 1914 Kaipara. —Fish have been caught in fair quantities. Mullet and schnapper have been plentiful. Flounders have been plentiful, but trevalli and gurnet have not been caught in huge quantities. Auckland. —There are about a hundred boats, employing approximately two hundred and fifty men, engaged in fishing in this district, and there are in Auckland four fish-curing establishments employing fifty men. There is also one such establishment at Kawau, one at the Great Barrier, and one at Mahurungi, besides which Tapu and Coromandel each have a mussel curing and canning factory. Fish of all kinds except mullet have been fairly plentiful. Mullet are very scarce, and a close season extending over a term of years is recommended. The oyster-beds in the Hauraki Gi;lf are looking well, and it is estimated that about 4,200 sacks of oysters can be taken from them this year. Thames ■ —There are about forty boats, employing approximately a hundred men, engaged in fishing in the Thames district, most of them being employed in net fishing. The supply of fish has been considerably lessened during the last two or three years owing to the large quantities of jellyfish which fill the nets, and make it very difficult to work them. Flounders have been very plentiful. Schnapper were very scarce last winter, but they have been very plentiful during the last six months. Napier. —The fishing during the year was good on the whole. The supply of flat fish was very good. Besides flat fish the principal fish taken were trevalli, gurnet, schnapper, moki, terakihi, and kingfish; but there was a perceptible falling-off in the quantities of all these fish, except kingfish, as compared with former years. Hand trawling from the beaches was not so good as in former years, the weather-conditions not having been suitable. Two steam-trawlers have been added to the trawling fleet, and there has been an average number of eleven I ravlers employed during the year. Picton. —The principal fish taken were rock-cod, hapuka, butterfish, moki, terakihi, warehou, trumpeter, and flounders; but the fishing has not been good, and it has been necessary for the fishing-boats to work well out in Cook Strait. Wellington.— During the year the catches from the local fishing-grounds have been fairly good, although the supply of hapuku has fallen off slightly, owing, it is stated, to the discovery

of several new fishing-grounds for other fish nearer to the city which have been frequented by the fishermen. Hake have been caught in increasing quantities. The principal fish caught have been cod, hapuku, butterfiah, and hake. Municipal Fish-market. —There has been a good increase in the patronage by the public of the local fish-market, and good supplies have come to hand, the market having received better support from the small fishermen. Good prices have been obtained for the supplies, while the public has been able to obtain the fish ;it reasonable figures. Foxton. —The fishing industry during the year has been in a very satisfactory condition. Whitebait were plentiful during the season, and some good catches were made. Flounders and schnapper have also been plentiful, but the fishermen's boats are not suitable for going over the bar, where the schnapper-grounds are, in bad weather. Kahawai have not been so plentiful as last season, but occasionally some large catches were made. Mnnukau. —There has been considerable improvement in the fishing industry, and there are foity-one licensed boats engaged in fishing in the harbour. Schnapper, mullet, and flounders have been fairly plentiful. New Brighton. —With the exception of whitebait, fish have not been so plentiful as in previous years. Flounders, solos, herrings, and red cod have been very scarce. The prohibition of the use of hurdles has enabled every one to get a fair share of whitebait, and there have been very few complaints from regular fishermen. Eangiora. —Whitebait-fishing has been fairly good. Besides whitebait the principal fish caught were flounders, soles, moki, kahawai, and herrings, but the catches have not been very good. Lyttelton. —The supply of fish has been fairly plentiful. The greater part of the supply consists of hapuku, schnapper, and trumpeter, which come from Kaikoura, very few of these li.sli being caught near Lyttelton. Flounders, soles, red cod, butterfish, herring, and garfish have been fairly plentiful in and near Lyttelton Harbour, and the catches have been good. Crayfish were plentiful during the season. Blue cod, gurnet, mullet, and trevalli have been scarce. Tima.ru. —The fishing during the past year has been fairly good, and the local market lias been well supplied. During the greater part of the year the principal fish taken were groper, flounders, soles, brill, and barracouta. A good deal of the fish is sent to Christchurch and to the inland towns. The fishermen have made a request to the Harbour Board to build a market for the fishing-boat wharf in order that they may be able to retail their fish direct to the public. Moeraki. —Fair catches of groper, blue cod, and red cod were made in the early part of the season, but later on all fish became scarce, and many of the fishermen had to lay their boats up. Oarnaru. —The principal fish taken were groper, blue cod, and ling, but the catches have been poor, mainly on account of the unfavourable weather. Dunedin. —The market has been fairly well supplied, and the catches have been as good as those made in the previous year. Three steam trawlers have been in use during the year, and they and several of the fishing-boats which were fitted with trawling-gear during the winter months obtained good catches of flounders and soles. Groper were plentiful up to the end of February, but have since been getting scarce. Kingfish were taken in fairly large quantities during the summer months, and good hauls of barraoouta were made within a few miles of Otago Heads. Ling have not been so plentiful as during previous seasons. Good hauls of red cod have been made by the trawlers, but very few have been taken by the line fishermen. The supply of terakihi and moki has met the demand, and some good catches of trumpeter have been made, but the supply has been intermittent. Inside the harbour flounders and trevalli have been caught in fairly large numbers by the seine fishermen. Nuggets. —The season has been a poor one, and the boats have had to go farther away. Groper, ling, and barraoouta have been the principal fish taken. Fair catches of blue cod were made early in the season v but this fish is now very eoaroe. Pounawea. —The se.ine fishermen report a fairly good year. The flounder, which is the principal fish taken, has been plentiful. Most of the fish are Bold locally. There are 121 fishing-boats registered in the Otago District. Bluff. —Good oatohes of fish have been made during the year. The principal fish taken were blue coil, groper, moki, and trumpeter, which have been plentiful. 6,986 cwt. of fish, valued at £9,050, were exported from the Dominion. Seals. A close season for seals existed in New Zealand from the end of August, 1894, until the Ist July last, but owing to poaching, which it was found impossible to stop, the seals did not increase to anything like the extent they would have done had they been left alone. It was proposed a few years ago to grant licenses for the right to take seals, one of the conditions of which was that a loyalty should be paid on each skin. Tenders were invited for the licenses, but none were received. Ihe Department has not been able to ascertain the number of skins taken during the season, but 490, valued at £529, were exported from the Dominion. It is proposed that there shall be an open season this year. Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery. I attach reports from Mr. G. M. Thomson, Chairman of the Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery Board, and Mr. T. Anderton, Curator of the Hatchery, which give full information as to the work that is being carried out.

Salmon.

Three years have elapsed since the last shipment of Atlantic salmon-ova was obtained from England, but it is yet too soon for the fish to return from the sea, and therefore it cannot be said whether the attempt to introduce them has been successful. The Department is of opinion that another shipment should be procured, as our experience with the quinnat salmon proved that success could only be ensured by liberating the fry from several shipments of ova. The question of obtaining another shipment might, however, stand over until the receipt of Professor Prince's report on the fisheries. Last season 251,000 quinnat ova were collected in the tributaries of the Waitaki River, of which 150,000 were hatched at the Department's salmonhatchery at Kokatahi and liberated in the tributaries of the Hokitika Kiver, 25,000 were sent to Tasmania, 45,000 were liberated at Hakataramea, and the fry from 20,000 were kept in the ponds at Hakataramea. Several thousand were hatched out at Taupapa for the fresh-water aquarium and the Auckland Exhibition, and the balance represented the deaths. The following fish were liberated from the Hakataramea Salmon-station in October, 1913 : Quinnat salmon —three years old, 64; two years old, 882; one year old, 17,020; fry, 45,000: Rhine salmon, four and a half years old, 20 : Atlantic salmon, four and a half years old, 20. This left in the ponds—Quinnat salmon, two years old, 80; one year old, 800; fry, 20,000. Prosecutions. There were twenty-three persons proceeded against for offences in connection with fish and oysters. In each case a conviction was recorded. Inspection of Machinery Department. The Public Service Commissioner having decided to amalgamate the Inspection of Machinery Department with the Marine Department, the amalgamation has been made. It took effect as from the Ist April last. The Inspection of Machinery report for last year is attached. I have, <$re, The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington. Geokoe Ai.lport, Secretary.

The Chief Inspector op Machinery, to the Secretary of the Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department. Sir, — Customhouse Building, Wellington, 9th April, 1914. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations and work of the Inspectors of Machinery during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1914. Boilers inspected. Every district in New Zealand has been visited by the Inspectors. Machinery in the North Island is being installed at a much more rapid rate than elsewhere, and nearly every district officer in the North Island is asking for assistance to cope with the increase in their respective districts. It will be imperative in the near future to appoint additional men to assist. Hitherto I have been able to send some of the local Inspectors from Wellington, but it will be impossible to do this next year, as the work in and around Wellington and its district demands their united efforts to cope with it. There has been no friction with owners of boilers throughout the year, and a good year's work has been accomplished. 7,036 boilers were inspected. All the machinery in motion at the works in which these boilers were in use was also examined. Boilers. Of the 7,036 boilers inspected, 424 were new, and examined for the first time. Drawings of these boilers have been received, and the design of the boilers and sufficiency of the scantlings have been thoroughly examined in each case. Government Boilers and Machinery. The following Government boilers and machinery were inspected during the year : 135 boilers, 18 lifts, 32 oil-egines, 9 gas-engines, 49 electric motors, 5 Peltons, and 3 turbines: total, 251. The whole of the machinery driven by these motors, &c, was examined, not only for defects but for fencing Defective Boileri> and Fittings. Defects numbering 966 were discovered in boilers and their fittings at inspections during the year. Of this number, 31 were very dangerous. New Boilers. During the year 424 new boilers were installed in the Dominion, with a total horse-power of 5.633 J. There does not appear to be any need for a firm to import a boiler unless it is one of a type that cannot well be made in the Dominion. Most of the New Zealand firms have good and up-to-date machinery, controlled by experienced workmen who are able to build a boiler in firstclass style.

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. This class of machinery is probably growing more general than any other in the Dominion. With the increase of wages and the difficulty in getting suitable labour in the country districts the oil-engine is now being generally adopted by the farmer. He can make use of it anywhere, at any time, and for almost all his power purposes. It is an ideal power for him, and he has not been slow to adopt it. The use of electricity in large towns and the price of land increasing so enormously in the centres has forced owners of buildings to increase their height, and, to provide for the convenience of those employed in such buildings, the electric lift has been introduced. This class of lift is now fitted wherever the electric power can be reasonably procured, and such lifts run smoothly and well. The total number of machinery inspections made during the year was 9,030. Of this number, 1,400 were gas-engines, 3,755 oil-engines, 3,834 lifts and motors (which include water and electric motors), and 41 steam machinery. Fencing of Machinery. At all places where an Inspector pays a visit he has a good look around all machinery to see that there are no dangerous positions unprotected where an employee might meet with an accident. Examination of Land Engineers and Engine-drivers. Examination for electric winding-engine-drivers' certificates were held for the first time this year. Although electric power for such a purpose is not generally used at mines in the Dominion, there is no doubt that electricity is an ideal power for a winding-engine or for power purposes in a mine, as» it can be transmitted almost anywhere to a motor used for developing work or for pumping purposes. The book of regulations at present in use will most likely be reprinted during the incoming year. Examinations were held at the following places during the year : Auckland,* Blenheim, Christchurch,* Domett, Dunedin,* Gisborne,* Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Havelock, Hawera,* Invercargill,* Kaikoura, Karamea, Miller's Flat, Napier,* Nelson,* New Plymouth, Palmerston North,* Queenstown, I'imaru,* Waihi, Waitapu, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport, and Whangarei.* The examinations held were for extra first-class engineers, first-class engine-drivers, secondclass engine-drivers, winding-engine drivers (for both steam and electric power), and locomotive and traction engine-drivers. The total number who sat for these examinations was 741. Of this number, 546 passed and 195 failed. Reciprocal certificates were issued to applicants from other States as follows : Denmark, 1; New South Wales, 1; Queensland, 1; Straits Settlement, lj Tasmania, 4; Victoria, 2: total, 12. Examination of Electric Tram-drivers. Every candidate who applied and had the necessary qualifications was examined during the year. 143 candidates sat for examination. Of this number, 12 failed.

Board of Examiners. The Board of Examiners constituted under section 48 of the Inspection of Machinery Act, 1908, met in Wellington on nine occasions for the conduct of business, when the whole of the certificates were dealt with before their issue to candidates who had passed the examinations under that Act and the Tramways Act, 1908. It is under the last-named Act that the certificates are issued to electric motonnen employed on tramways. Accidents . I am pleased to have to record that no boiler-explosion lias occurred during the year, and such a result is most gratifying to the Department. At every inspection the Department's officers endeavour to locate all defects and to have every weak place strengthened or wasted scantlings renewed. To see everything both inside and outside of a boiler entails very often a great deal of work and inconvenience, but one has only to read of the dire havoc wrought by a boilerexplosion to appreciate what is being done in New Zealand for public safety. I trust that we will have no explosions in New Zealand for many a day. With moving and other machinery there lias been several accidents recorded. A great many of these occurred very simply, and ever)' employer should insist on all his employees taking no risks. If an employee considers that some portion of a machine he is working at should be better guarded he should report it without delay to the owner. Owners throughout New Zealand are most anxious to carry out any suggestion made by an Inspector for improvement in fencing their machinery. Anything that makes for greater immunity from accident should be encouraged and adopted at once. Postal anil Police Departments, I have to acknowledge many favours from the Postal and Police Departments during the year, and the promptness in dealing with all cases brought before both Departments leaves nothing to be desired. Examination of Marine Engineer*. Examinations for certificates of competency were held during the year at Auckland,* Christchurch,* Dargaville, Dunedin,* Greymouth,* Half-moon Bay, Hamilton,* Hokianga, Invercargill,* Kohukohu. Mongonui, Napier,* Nelson.* Palmerston North,* Picton,* Pounawea, Russell, Stratford, Tauranga, Timaru,* Tryphena, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport, and Whangarei. The total number of the candidates who sat was 359; 298 passed and 61 failed. 'lhe classes for which examinations were held were : first-class marine engineer, secondclass marine engineer, third-class marine engineer, river engineer, marine engine-driver, firstclass engineer of seagoing auxiliary-powered vessels, seoond-olass engineer of seagoing auxiliarypowered vessels, and restricted limits engineer of auxiliary-powered vessels. The new regulations are being prepared, and will contain much new matter, and will be framed to suit the new regulations introduced by the Board of Trade of Great Britain. The fees received from the candidates examined amounted to .£306. Explosives. There were 215 permits issued at the Port of Wellington for the carriage of explosives on passenger and cargo vessels. Annual Surveys of Steamships end Auxiliary-powered Vessels. This branch of the departmental work lias been well maintained during the year, more especially at the ports of Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. A great many repairs to defective parts of hulls and machinery have been carried out during the year. Oil-launches in increasing numbers have had to be dealt with. In Marlborough Sounds, Hokianga Harbour, and in a great many of our rivers and estuaries these launches, in addition to their use for pleasure purposes, have proved of paramount importance to the settlements in the country. In arranging dates of suryey and granting time for the completion of equipments the convenience of owners has been consulted as far as possible. Home-trade and foreign steamship surveys of all vessels due have been completed and the convenience of shipowners as to time and place of survey have in nearly all cases been met. Several new vessels have been built in the Dominion during the year, and their construction has been closely watched during their progress on the stocks. Drawings of six new vessels, with their respective specifications, were submitted for the Department's approval prior to construction being commenced. This is a very important detail, for it not only ensures uniformity of practice in shipbuilding, but gives time for any needed alteration in design that may be necessary. Such alteration of detail can be discussed fjully before the vessel's construction is started, and avoids subsequent friction between the surveyor and builder or owner. New Zealand timbers have been largely used for the hull scantlings. One vessel, however, was built of steel in England, then taken to pieces and re erected at Onehunga. This vessel was of special design for shallow waters. Of the six vessels, three are steamers, and it is a matter for regret that only in one instance were the propelling engines and the boilers made locally. The Board of Trade has amended the " Instructions as to the Survey of Passenger Steamships," and the Department is now using these amended regulations in connection with the surveys of all vessels. The amendments refer to deck-equipments, boiler-construction, refrigerating machinery, and motor-boats. Modern construction in marine engineering is now represented in New Zealand by the introduction of turbine steamers, one of which has water-tube boilers installed.

The Devonport Ferry Company, in Auckland, have practically renewed their fleet in recent years, and this firm must not only be congratulated on their enterprise in this direction, but also in having these vessels constructed in Auckland. This confidence in the local shipbuilders has not been misplaced, for the success and suitableness of the new vessels are apparent. I had the pleasure recently of being present at a trial run of one of them, built specially for service between Auckland and St. Heliers and other bays. Sixty-four of the vessels surveyed were fitted with new propeller .shafts, 25 had new propellers fitted, 9 had new blades fitted to their propellers, 1 had a new boss to the propeller, 35 had new engines fitted, 4 had new main boilers fitted. Three out of the four boilers were built in the Dominion. A donkey boiler on one of the vessels surveyed was condemned as unfit for further service. The number of surveys made during the year total 712. During the summer months a great many special excursions have been run. and, so far as I am aware, have not been attended with any mishap. The general equipment for all of these vessels so engaged has been supervised in every case by a competent surveyor. Surveys of Ships for Seaworthiness. A huge number of seaworthiness surveys were made during the year, and each year this class of work demands more of the attention of the Department's surveyors. Ships of modern construction are driven faster than formerly, the machinery is much more complicated, the steampressures are quite 100 per cent, higher than they were twenty years ago, and the wear-and-tear and the risks are thereby increased. The number of vessels employed on and around the coasts and in the foreign and intercolonial trades have also largely increased. The causes which led up to these surveys include the following : Defects in pumps, propeller aperture, combustion chamber, main steam-pipes, and crank-shaft, fires, grounding, broken propeller-shaft, collisions, leaks, shortage of water in boilers, broken rudder, &c. The total number of seaworthiness surveys made was forty-three. Government Steamers. The Government steamers surveyed duiing the year numbered eighteen, as follows: s.s. " Amokura," s.s. "Antrim," s.s. "Ben Lomond," s.s. " Earnshaw," s.s. " Hauraki," s.s. " Hinenioa," o.e.v. " Huia," o.e.v. " Irini," s.s. " Janie Seddon," s.s. " Lady Roberts, , ' o.e.v. " Manurere," o.e.v. " Mororo," s.s. "Mountaineer," o.e v. " Pat it i," o.e.v. " Reremoana," s.s. "Tawera," s.s. " Tutanekai," and o.e.v. Defence launch " W." No special repairs were made to any of the Government steamers during the year outside the ordinary repairs that were found necessary at their annual surveys. Additional Steamers and Auxiliary-powered Vessels surveyed for the First Time. During the year ninety-six steamships and vessels fitted with oil-engines as a motive power have been surveyed for the first time. Sailing-ships. The surveys of sailing-ships have been practically completed, and at the end of the year very few were due for survey. As contemplated last year, there were not so many general repairs this year owing to the completeness of what was practically the first survey of these vessels last year. The whole time of one of our surveyors at the Port of Auckland is taken up with sailingships. Auckland is by far the biggest centre for sailing-ship traffic. The nature of the country and the timber and other industries established on the banks of shallow rivers and estuaries afford profitable employment for scows and small sailing craft. The total number of surveys of sailing-vessels made during the year amount to 104. Districts and Inspections. Mr. James McAlpine, who was attached to the Auckland office as an Inspector of Machinery and Surveyor of Ships, died on 28th September, 1913. He joined the Department on the 25tii March, 1912, and though only a young officer, he showed by his work all through marked ability and fitness for the position. He had gained the confidence of the public who had had dealings with him and the esteem of all his colleagues. The additions to the technical staff during the year were as follows : Patrick Joseph Healy. appointed to the Wellington District on 17th October, 1913; William John White, appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Mr. McAlpine at Auckland, took up his duties on 24th October, 1913; Joseph Edward Faulder Buckland, appointed to the Southland District on the 26th November, 1913. I have, &c, Robert Duncan. Chief Inspector of Machinery, Chief Surveyor of Ships, and Chief Examiner of Marine Engineers, Land Engineers, and Engine-drivers.

The Chairman, Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery Hoard, to the Minister of Mahink. Sir, — Dunedin, 3rd June, 1914. In presenting the annual report of the Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery Board, 1 have the honour to draw attention to the success which has attended its operations since its inception. These operations follow two mam but distinct lines —viz., the introduction and naturalization of desirable food fishes, and the study of the local fishery question and the various problems relating to it. The latter include the life-histories, habits, migration, food, mode of propagation, &c, of the species under examination —all subjects of which little or nothing has been learned in the past; and these are not only of great interest to the naturalist and biologist, but of the utmost importance in dealing with our fishery laws and regulations. The introduction of food lishes and Crustacea lias included so far only three species—viz., the European turbot, the European lobster (Homarue vulgaris), and the European edible crab (Cancer p/iri/unt-). The interesting report for the year ending the Ist March, litli, sent in by Mr. T. Anderton, Curator of the Portobeilo Station, and which is enclosed herewith, gives a resume of the work done during the year, and of the measure of success attending the operations carried out. It will be noted that the tending and feeding of the stock at present in the tanks and ponds has absorbed very much of the time and attention of those in charge. In past seasons large numbers of lobster and crab fry have been liberated, and the probability is that many of these will reappear in our waters as they attain maturity. All attempts made to find traces of any of these in Otago Harbour have failed hitherto, though traps have been set on many occasions and the contents of seine nets and traws carefully examined. But when I communicated these facts to Dr. Williamson, of the Aberdeen Marine Biological Station (Scotch Fishery Board), he informed me in reply that practically young lobsters and crabs are not met with in European seas. It would seem, though the fact is only surmised, that the young of these crustaceans live in somewhat deep water until they are sexually mature. Tlie failure to find them ill our seas need not, therefore, cause us to anticipate the failure of our experiment. It is matter for passing regret that the little lobster which was reared in the tanks of the hatchery died in April of this year, during one of its periodical moults. It was four and a half years old, and measured somewhat under 5 in. in length. As far as we know, it was the only lobster reared in confinement which had lived over a year. In regard to the turbot which were brought out early last year, I desire to say that the remarkable success which has been achieved by Messrs. Anderton and Adams in rearing them to their present size and fine condition without the lost, of a single specimen has been due to the unremitting care and attention which they have devoted to the work. At the same time the Board feels that this minute oaie, which is so essential, could be given with unskilled labour under supervision, and that Mr. Anderton should be freed from it to carry out research work on the native food fishes and fish-food, which is so important for the future development of the fishing industry. In this connection we consider the station has more than justified its existence and the small sum annually expended on its upkeep, and we recommend that the facilities for research work should be extended. This could be done, inter alia, by selling the present oillaunch and replacing it by a larger boat capable of running out twenty miles or more from the Heads. This boat should be fitted with a small otter trawl (and spare net), seine nets, tow nets for surface work and plankton, a sounding-machine, etc. Only by such means can accurate observational work be done. We would suggest also that your Department might urge on the Minister of Education the desirability of altering the present University Science Research Scholarship scheme so as to make it more attractive to students. If the scholarships are reduced in number and doubled in value, thus making them worth .£2OO a year tenable for two years, the best research students of the New Zealand University would be induced to take up post-graduate work. There are numerous problems in connection with our fisheries waiting solution, winch can only be worked out by trained biologists. Until they are solved, any legislation based on them is apt to lie of a very imperfect character, as so much of the past fishery legislation lias been. For example, the lifehistory of the Foveaux Strait mud-oyster requires careful and continuous skilled observation by one trained in biological technique and able to devote much and long-extended time to the research. Accommodation could be found at or near the Porotobello Station for any one engaged on such work. Everything in connection with the buildings and apparatus of the hatchery is kept in good order, and at the same time the utmost economy consistent with the maximum of efficiency has been practised by all concerned. As in the past, the secretarial and supervision work of the station has been carried out without cost to the establishment. I have, (fee., Geo. M. Thomson, Chairman. The Hon. F. M. B. Fipher, Minister of Marine, Wellington.

Gentlemen,— Portobello, 31st May, 1914. I have the honour to present the following (the eighth) annual report of operations at the Marine Fish-hatchery for the year ending 31st March, 1914. Lobsters.— -The stock of lobsters, forty-one in number, which arrived in March. 1913, were placed on arrival in the largest pond, and since then have not been handled. Only two deaths have taken place, and both have been due to injuries received whilst fighting. The stock in this pond now stands at thirty-nine. Many of the females carried full bunches of eggs on arrival but owing chiefly to the low temperature of the tank-water these lobsters were not brought into

the indoor tanks for hatching : the larvae would escape through the pond-valves and become distributed by the action of the tides. The majority of the females are now seen to be again eggbearing, and, as they have this time been spawned in their proper season for these waters, it is expected that large numbers of larvae will be secured for distribution about November. The old stock of lobsters have for the last year been confined in the wharf pond. Three of these have died and several others have lost one or more of their large claws through lighting. Owing to the heavy loss of eggs that takes place amongst the attached eggs while the adults are in close confinement in the ponds, the Board decided to try the experiment of liberating a number of these old stock lobsters. Eight of the largest females were liberated in what was considered to be the most suitable locality as soon as the eggs were spawned. All these carried complete bunches of eggs which, under the improved conditions of a natural environment, will in all probability remain attached to the adults until hatched, and should result in the production of a large number of healthy Larve. Four large males were put out in the same locality at the same time. Crabs. —The new shipment of forty-three crabs were placed in the Xo. 2 pond. At the approach of cold weather several of these died. The cause of death was not apparent. The dead ones were usually discovered almost buried in the thick soft mud at the deeper end of the pond, and it was thought that this mud was at the least a contributing cause. Several launch-loads of clean sand were brought up from the Heads and a layei of t> in. of this was strewn over the bottom of the two smaller ponds. The majority of the crabs were transferred to these two ponds. A little improvement was noticed, but they remained very sluggish, anil many more died. After consulting with the Minister of Marine and the Secretary of the Marine Department it was decided to liberate the majority of the remainder. In all sixteen died; nineteen were liberated in a favourable locality, which for obvious reasons need not lie disclosed; eight have been retained in the pond. Although the whole of the previous shipment of crabs have died, a greater measure of success was obtained from them during ilie three years they were confined in the ponds. Some twenty million larvae were liberated from them. The reason of the n< hi-success of the last shipment is obscure. The crab, in its native habitat, migrates to the deeper water in the wintertime, and it is quite probable that the rapid fall in temperature BC soon after arrival, and whilst in a weak state, was to a great extent tin- cause of the heavy mortality. Turbot. —The stock 01' turbot remains the same as in May last. None have died during the year. The six large glass tanks have been brought into use for their accommodation, and a huge wooden tank measuring 15 ft. by 5 ft. (id. by 2 ft. deep lias been fitted up. In the latter tank thirty of the largest have been placed. Willi few exceptions all have shown enormous growth during the year. In March of last year the length varied from 2 in. to -t in. By the end of May the largest measured about G in. in length. Many of the largest have now attained a length of L 8 in. and a breadth of 9 in. across. All are in perfect condition and of great thickness. The utmost care lias been exercised throughout the year in order to prevent the access of harmful bacteria. Flat rislies in close confinement are extremely susceptible to disease. Our own previous experience with flounders and soles, and the experience of all the British stations, has proved that with ordinary care it has been necessary to renew the stock of breeding flat fishes each year, owing to an outbreak of a disease which causes the skin to become affected with ulcer-like sores. To replenish the stock of turbot each year is, however, impracticable, hence the extreme precautions that are being taken. The slow process of extracting from all the tanks by siphons, immediately after feeding, every particle of unconsumed food, sand, manure, 4c, is repeated, and occupies practically the whole of each morning. Once a week the inside faces of the glass and the cement bottoms of the tanks are scrubbed without removing or unduly alarming the fishes. Ling and mold, the latter being taken by set-net close to the station, have been chiefly used for feeding purposes. A whole ling, out into pieces about half an inch square, will now be consumed at one meal. Fish showing the slightest signs of stalenesfi is never used as food. The turbot become very active towards feeding-time, and rise to the surface as soon as the tank is approached, but soon "sand" themselves over and remain cpuiet after the tanks are cleaned out and the fresh sand is thrown in. The largest ones are now being fed almost entirely on live fishes, chiefly coek-a»-bullies (Trypterygion sp.). These are caught by means of hoop-nets. The turbot are extremely active in seizing these; even the large ones, as Ihick as one's finger, are swallowed whole, and so rapidly that one can scarcely discern the act. The small apparatus for heating the tank-water has proved most satisfactory and efficient. The supply-water has never been allowed to fall below 1° C. (39-4° F.). The prospect of being able to acclimatize this valuable fish is very assuring. It will probably be necessary and advisable, on account of want of space, to liberate a large proportion next summer and retain a small number for spawning purposes. They will by then have attained a length of about 18 in., and will by their size and adaptability to protective colouring be quite able to protect and to forage for themselves. The appointment of Mr. Adams, the assistant curator, to the position of Inspector of Fisheries for Otago has deprived the station of a considerable portion of his time. This work is, however, one of the essential duties of a biological station, and the loss of time is more than compensated for by the facts and collection of statistics that is being placed on record in a volume set apart for that purpose. A record is kept of the quantity and prices of fish exposed for sale on the Dunedin wholesale market. The Chairman, Mr. G. M. Thomson, M.P., is at present engaged in preparing a card catalogue of the library. The library now consists of some six hundred volumes and a vast number of leaflets, pamphlets, &c. A catalogue of authors, and of the subject-matter of the contents of these volumes, &c, will entail some weeks' labour on his part, but will greatly facilitate the reference to any desired subject. Considerable time has been devoted, as usual, to the study of the life-history, food, &c of local fishes. The eggs of several additional species have been secured, including those of the

john-dory (Zetu faber), bringing the tutal number so far secured up to thirty-four species. Thousands of notes on stomach-contents have been placed on record, and some interesting facts :ire being brought to light. An interesting experiment has been conducted during the year with a view to ascertaining the life-history of the whale-feed (Grimothea gregaria). The identity of this valuable fish-food with that of the bottom-living form known as Munida mibrugosa has long been suspected. The larvae have now been secured and the identity has been established. Much of its life-history has now been learned, and when the few links have been fitted in the subject will be treated in a special paper, with drawings. I was privileged to accompany Professor Prince in the steamer " Hinemoa " during a trip around the coasts of both Islands in April and May for the purpose of reviewing the trawling resources of the Dominion. A collection of fishes was made for Professor Prince, and I was also enabled to collect specimens of crustacea, annelids, mollusca. small fishes, &c. A large shed, 20 ft. by 16 ft., has been erected on the eastern side of the pond embankment for the purpose of the storage of spare tanks, coolers, coke, <fee, and as a workshop. The old workshop is now used as a store-room for paints, &0., and a portion lias been partitioned off as a dark room. The lean-to shed at the rear of the Curator's residence lias been converted into a small bedroom. All the paths and steps have been top-dressed with sand and tar. The launch and dinghy have been regularly slipped for painting. Both are in good order. The cottages and station buildings will require to be painted before long. The interiors of the cottages also require attention as soon as can be conveniently arranged. I have, eve, T. Anderton.

Auckland Harbour .. W. Moderate Encountered a heavy cross sea which caused main top-gallant mast to carry away The collapse of the furnaces was entirely due to shortness of water in the starboard boiler caused by excessive " scumming " by the second engineer, whose certificate was suspended for three months. The chief engineer was guilty of neglect of duty in failing to see that the test cocks were kept in working-order and in delegating to a greaser his duties in regard to filling of the boilers. He was ordered to ppy the cost of the inquiry The cause of the stranding was the strong westerly wind. The Court considered that the stranding was not due to or contributed to by negligence or default of the master or officers, but that the master committed an error of judgment in not heading more to the westward and at going at too low a rate of speed considering the force of the wind and weather-conditions Whilst loading on beach the wind changed and vessel could not be hauled off J.

A squall struck the ship, and subsequent roll caused back stays to part and rigging carried away Fire was discovered in vessel's forecastle when she was at anchor, and cause is unknown The Court found that the cause of the stranding was that the way was not taken off the vessel so as to allow of her being handled expeditiously in narrow waters, that the master mistook the lights and the vessel was navigated too close to Pencarrow side of the entrance. The stranding was contributed to by the default of the master, who was a stranger to the port, in not making himself acquainted with the leading-lights of the port, and when these were obscured by the squally conditions of the weather at the time in not heading the vessel clear of the land to await clearer weather or daylight. The master's certificate was suspended for three months, and he was ordered to pay the cost of the inquiry, £1(>. Upon a rehearing of the inquiry the Supreme Court reversed the decision arrived at at the Magisterial inquiry and found that the master mistook the Falcon Shoal buoy light for the red sector of Somes Island light in such circumstanoes that he was not to blame for the disaster. Coming slowly to her berth a squall struck the vessel and caused her to run into the wharf When entering Waiharara Harbour a strong beam wind caused tile vessel to drift to the eastward, and she took the ground, but Boated off on rise of tide Steering-gear got out of order, and vessel grounded, but was hauled off by tug Whilst the "Comet" was beating up the channel the strong breeze caused her to collide with the " RaUiura " W.
