MARINE DEPARTMENT: ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1914-15.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly I>y Command of His Excellency.

My Lord, — Marine Department, Wellington, 22nd June, 1915. 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, f&c, W. H. Herries. His Excellency the Eight Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, 0.C.M.G., M.V.0., Governor of New Zealand.

The Secretary, Marine Department, to the Hon. the Minister or Marine, Sir, Marine Department, Wellington, 31st May, 1915. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March last : Harbours Amendment Act, 1911. The principal provisions of this Act are that each candidate for election to a seat on a Harbour Board is to deposit £3 with the Returning Officer at the time of nomination, which is returnable to him if he polls one-eighth or more of the votes of the successful candidate polling the fewest votes ; that when an officer of a Board is absent his duties and powers may be performed by an acting-officer approved of by the Board ; that no money is to be drawn out of a hank unless authorized by the Board, and all moneys are to be paid by the Board in cash or by cheque signed by the Chairman or by any two members of the Hoard and countersigned by the Treasurer : that the Governor in Council may prescribe rules as to age, service, skill, character, and otherwise of persons appointed Harbourmasters and pilots ; that Boards may hold special meetings either on resolution of the Board or on requisition of the Chairman or any three members ; that this Governor in Council may grant the control of foreshore outside the limits of Harbour Board ports to any local authority, Domain Board, or persons as trustees for the inhabitants of the locality for recreation and bathing purposes. Inspection of Machinery Amendment Act, 1914. The principal provisions of this Act are that the Minister of Marine is to administer the Inspection of Machinery Acts ; that the Secretary of the Department instead of the Inspectors of Machinery is to issue boiler and machinery certificates, on the reports of the Inspectors : that the. Secretary may exempt any boiler or machinery from the requirement as to having a certificated driver on such conditions as he may prescribe ; that separate certificates may be issued for locomotive-engine drivers and traction-engine drivers ; that certificates without examination may be issued to New Zealand, certificated railway-engine drivers who have been employed in driving a railway locomotive or stationary engine, and that in the case of electric motors used in any factory or workshop the inspection fee is only to be charged on the boiler or engines which drive the dynamo or generator, and not on the dynamo or generator or on the motors worked by the power supplied from the dynamo or generator. , , , Mercantile Marine Offices. The work connected with these offices has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner. The withholding of the certificates of discharge of seamen for failure to join their ships and for desertion is having a good effect, as offenders are unable to ship in other vessels whilst their discharges are withheld. There are, however, still too many offences of this nature. In a few cases it has been found impossible to get properly certificated second mates for oversea ships, this being apparently

due to certificated men having joined the Expeditionary Forces, and in order to avoid delaying the vessels the Department has, in exercise of the powers given to it by section 57 of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, allowed them to sail with second mates holding certificates of competency as home-trade masters. Appended is a return showing the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the various ports in the Dominion, with the fees received for the engagements and discharges, The number engaged was 20,943, and the number discharged 20,458. The fees received amounted to £2,712 2s. During the previous year the engagements were 22,330, and the discharges 21,718, and tbe amount of fees received £3,015 18s. The transactions at the four principal ports were :— > Engagements. Discharges. £' ..

J. Croft, master of s.s. " Victoria," for carrying a seaman without entering into an agreement with him—fined £2 and costs ; B. E. Price, master of the schooner " Morning Light," for employing a seaman who had deserted from another vessel—fined £1 and costs ; O. Berg, master of s.s. " Wetere," for carrying a seaman without entering into an agreement with him— convicted and ordered to pay costs, also convicted and ordered to pay costs for employing a seaman in a capacity other than that for which he was engaged. Masters, Mates, and Engineers. The examination of candidates has been carried out at the various examination ports in a very satisfactory manner. 329 candidates passed and 109 failed. Of those who passed, 188 were masters, mates, and engineers of sea-going ships, 26 were masters and engineers of steamships plying in restricted limits, 2 were masters of fishing-boats and of cargo-vessels up to 25 tons register, 23 were engineers of sea-going ships propelled by mechanical power other than steam, and 90 were engineers of similar vessels plying within restricted, limits. The regulations for the examination of masters and mates have been amended to provide that time served on a training-ship shall count as equivalent to half the same time spent in service at sea up to a limit of two years ; and new regulations have been made as to examination in sight tests. The regulations for the examination of engineers have been consolidated and amended so as to bring them in line with those issued by the Imperial Board of Trade. The principal amendments are that candidates for second-class engineers' certificates must serve eighteen months at sea in a foreign-going steamer or twenty-seven months in a home-trade steamer, instead of twelve months and eighteen months respectively. Similar extensions in length of service have been made in the case of candidates for first-class certificates, and some additional problems have been added to the syllabus of subjects for examination. Provision is made that a portion of the time spent at recognized technical schools will count as equivalent to sea service, and a number of alterations have been made in the rules for the conduct of examinations. Provision was made in the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1909, that the Minister could declare certificates granted in other British dominions to be of equal force with certificates granted in New Zealand, provided that the certificates are accepted as of equal force of specified grades of certificates granted in the dominion to which the declaration referred. Application was made to this Department that New South Wales third-class certificates might be recognized as being equal to New Zealand river engineers' certificates, and the New South Wales Department of Navigation was asked whether, if such recognition was given, New Zealand river engineers' certificates would be recognized in that State as being equal to its third-class certificates. The reply received was that as the Federal Navigation Act would, be introduced in the near future, and as under that Act a thirdclass certificate would have quite a different value, the question should lie postponed until the Act came into operation. Nothing further could therefore be done in the matter. Messrs. D. B.ankin and S. N. Johnston have been appointed Examiners^offEngineers. Registration of Shipping. Beturns are appended showing the vessels registered in New Zealand on the 31st December last. On that date there were 197 sailing-vessels, of 20,984 registered tonnage, and 384 steamers of 77,901 tons register. The number of seamen and boys on board was 4,335, as compared with 5,477 at the end of the previous year. The register of 19 steamships, of 50,376 tons register, has been transferred to Great Britain to enable advantage to be taken of the Imperial Government's war insurance scheme.| Survey of Ships. Certificates have been issued to 294 steamers, 474 oil-engine vessels, and 88 sailing-vessels, as compared with 332 steamers, 428 oil-engine vessels, and 112 sailing-vessels in the previous year. Details as to alterations and repairs to vessels surveyed will be found in the report of the Chief Surveyor of Ships, which is appended hereto.

The following limits have been defined to be river and extended river limits : — Whangape : River limits, inside entrances of Whangape and Herekino on the north, t and llokianga on the south ; extended river limits, between Whangape and Herekino on the north andjbetween Whangape and ITokianga on the south. Whakatane : River limits, inside bar of Whakatane River ; extended river limits, between new outlet of Liangitaiki River and Opape Point, including Whale Island and Rurima rocks. Ohiwa : River limits, inside bar of Ohiwa River; extended river limits, same as Whakatane. Opotlki: River limits, inside bar of Opotiki River ; extended river limits, same as Whakatane. Tauranga : River limits, inside heads of Tauranga Harbour, including inside passage to Katikati; extended river limits, between Katikati and the new outlet of Rangitaiki River. Captain O. ,1. S. Lake has been appointed Adjuster of Compasses at Napier, and Captain R. 0. liarbord Adjuster at Bluff. Proceedings were taken by the Department for the following breaches of the law in connection with the survey of ships: viz., J. Shaw, for carrying passengers on ''Niagara" without life-saving appliances—fined £2 and costs ; W. Parris, master of launch " Haraemai," for running beyond limits allowed by vessel's certificate —-lined £2 and costs ; L. S. Irving, for running launch " Waiomo " without certificate—fined £1 and costs; Lapwood Bros., for running iaunches " Endova " and Waikato " without certificates --lined £1 and costs; for running launch " Rartgimahora " without certificate —lined £1 and costs ; F. Kukutai, for running launch " Tainui " without certificate —fined 10s. and costs ; C. Roose, for carrying passengers without a certificate for boat-fined £1 and costs ; G. Shalfoon, for carrying more passengers in launch than allowed by boat's certificate—convicted, but no fine imposed; E. Wade, for acting as engineer without a certificate -convicted and ordered to pay costs; C. Smith, for running launch " Oheroher" without life-saving appliances—fined Is. and costs; A. Middendorf and W. Watson, for carrying passengers without having life-saving appliances on board—cases dismissed for want of sufficient evidence ; and R. N. Anderson, master of schooner " Kereru," for carrying more passengers than allowed by vessel's certificate—fined £20 and costs. Deceased Seamen's Estates. The estates of forty-three deceased seamen have been dealt with. The amount received was £535 55., and the amount paid to relatives and other claimants was £348 Bs. 4d. Particulars of the estates are given in an appended return. The sum of £122 10s. 9d. which had remained unclaimed for over six years was paid into the Public Account. Wrecks and Casualties. During the year eighty-eight inquiries into shipping casualties were held, seventy-seven of them being preliminary inquiries and eleven Magisterial inquiries. Returns which are appended show the casualties and an analysis thereof. Those on or near the coasts of the Dominion numbered eightylive, of 39,604 tons register, as compared with eighty-seven, of 62,733 tons, in the previous year. The number of lives lost was twenty-two, as compared with five in the previous year. Nautical Publications. The Nautical Almanac for 1915, prepared by Captain Blackburne, Nautical Adviser to the Department, was issued in November last, and the sale of copies has been very good. A good number of the ABC Azimuth Tables issued by the Department has been sold, and there has been a good demand for Admiralty charts, which are imported by the Department and sold at the Mercantile Marine Office at a little over cost-price. Notices to Mariners. A return of Notices to Mariners relating to New Zealand subjects which have been issued by the Department is appended. A large number concerning matters outside the Dominion has been published by the Department and circulated for the information of shipmasters and others. Meteorological Weather Office. The Rev. Mr. Bates, Director of the Meteorological Office, reports as follows : — " I have to report the more important matters concerning New Zealand meteorology during the past year. " The development of wireless weather reports and ocean forecasts showed need of official organization, and also better equipment for ships reporting weather-conditions. The matter of charges for services rendered called for united action on the part of the Commonwealth and Dominion offices, and another subject for conference was the retention of the wireless station at Macquarie Island. For this purpose I attended conferences with the authorities in Melbourne and Sydney in June last. At these conferences the Amalgamated Wireless Company of Australasia offered reduced terms, and undertook to procure the best offer obtainable from British and foreign companies trading to Australia and New Zealand. In many directions Mr. E. T. Fisk, engineer to the Amalgamated Wireless Company, rendered us most valuable assistance. The Commonwealth office undertook to prepare codes, &c, for a maritime wireless weather service for Australasia, and to co-operate further with, the Dominion office. The development and consideration of these arrangements was, however, interrupted by the war; for, with the outbreak of hostilities, all wireless reports immediately ceased on account of the necessity for absolute secrecy as to the movements of ships.

With regard to the Macquarie Island Wireless Station, the Commonwealth authorities were unwilling to act without us, because the question of its continuance for the further study of subanwctic conditions was of universal scientific interest, and of the greatest importance to the meteorology of the Southern Ocean. It was also necessary for co-operation with the Imperial Antarctic Expedition under Sir Ernest Shaokleton. The plant of the wireless station was offered by Sir Douglas Mawson for £500, and the upkeep and supply was estimated to cost from £1,200 to £1,800 per annum. As the island is Commonwealth territory, the purchase of the plant and management of the station was regarded in the province of the Commonwealth Government, but for upkeep 1 proposed to ask the Dominion to contribute £500 per annum for three years towards its maintenance. On this the Commonwealth authorities agreed to proceed, and on the 7th July the Prime, Minister of the Commonwealth was definitely informed by the New Zealand Government of the offer. Some doubt and delay occurred at the outbreak of the war, and the consequent uncertainty of the sailing of the Imperial Antarctic Expedition, but on the 2nd October Mr. 11. A. Hunt, the Commonwealth Meteorologist, cabled to me that his Government agreed to his continuance for one year at least, and accepted our contribution. The records from the Macquaries have been regularly transmitted since its establishment by Sir D. Mawson, but on the Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th January last no records were taken, the staff being engaged in co-operating with the search for the s.s. " Endeavour," which is believed to have foundered on returning from the island after leaving stores, &c. A member of the staff of the Commonwealth Weather Bureau who had been engaged for some time in meteorological work on the island was lost with the ship. "In my visit to the Central Weather Bureau at Melbourne and the divisional office at Sydney I was treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration, and in the short time at my disposal I saw much of the inside working of these offices. I obtained sets of forms, maps, and plans which were of great interest and value, and I would like to especially mention the system of the Queensland floodreporting inaugurated by the Weather Bureau, which I think might be applied with advantage to some of the rivers subject to floods in this Dominion. " The work of our office has gone on as usual, but with a natural growth in volume, which, without increase of staff, prevents advance in several directions regarded as desirable and important. Changes have also been postponed for want of fuller consultation with, and approval of, international meteorological authorities. " Dr. W. N. Shaw, Director of the British Meteorological Office and Chairman of the International Committee, has informed me that the decennial Conference of. Directors of Meteorological Offices throughout the world, which was to have, taken place in September, 1915, has been postponed, and probably will not assemble until a year after the declaration of peace. The Conference has many matters of particular interest to New Zealand for its consideration, particularly a system of stormwarning, upon which I have been for some time in communication with Dr. Shaw. Both he and Dr. H. R. Mill, Director of the British Rainfall Organization, however, urge the necessity of bringing New Zealand more into line with international requirements, and say that it would be beneficial if the Government were to send me Home in the meantime. " The need for more office space has been met by the Public Service Accommodation Board securing for us two extra rooms at the former rental by taking the whole under lease for a period of five years. We have now a direct telephone communication with the Telegraph-office and the room in which we prepare the daily morning weather reports. Mr. Wyatt, the Superintendent of the Wellington Telegraph-office, has instituted a system of checking the incoming weather reports, and, by occasionally speeding the returns of certain dilatory reporters, has saved great inconvenience to us as well us the telegraph operators themselves, enabling us to issue the reports more promptly to the public In some instances it has been reported to us that local Postmasters are careless about the publication of the weather reports and forecasts, but in general the services rendered to our Department by the Post and Telegraph officers show commendable zeal and public spirit. The staff of the Head Office lias assisted us. with, the utmost alacrity and to the fullest extent, and we are deeply indebted 10. them, , !i Chatham Island Wireless Station has been equipped with instruments for reporting weather dally, and on the Bth April, 1915, commenced transmitting reports at a nominal cost to this Department. This report is again sent by us as a collect telegram to Australia. " The establishment of the Public Service Commissioner's system of filing correspondence, though necessary for the growth of our operations, has entailed considerable difficulty and some delay while carrying on the usual work of the office." Arrangements have been made with the Government of the Commonwealth under which New .Zealand is to contribute £500 a year for a period not exceeding three years towards the cost of wireless communication with Macquarie Island, and under this arrangement the Meteorological Branch of the Department is receiving reports which are used for weather-forecast purposes. Go ver n n tent St earn ers. The Department has continued to employ the " Hinemoa " on her usual work of conveying material, stores, provisions, and oil to lighthouses, in attending to cleaning and painting buoys and beacons, and the.work has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner. In addition to her ordinary work the vessel has conveyed to the site the material required for the lighthouse-tower which is being buili on Karori Bock in Cook Strait. A vote was taken last session of a part of the cost of a new steamer to replace the " Hinemoa," and steps are now being taken to invite tenders for building and equipping the vessel.

During last winter and early spring the training-ship " Amokura " was moored in Wellington Harbour, and the boys attended technical-school classes at the ship's schoolroom on the Thorndon Esplanade, instruction being given by a teacher employed by the Wellington Technical School, the Department paying his salary. The examination which was held at the end of the term showed very satisfactory results. The vessel is now moored in the harbour for this winter, and the instruction classes are being carried on in the same way as was done last winter. The vessel commenced cruising at the end of October last, having been delayed for a time owing to the outbreak of war, and in addition to coastal cruises she paid two visits to the southern islands, and one to the Kermadoc Islands, to search for castaways, and to examine the provision and clothing depots which are maintained on those islands for the benefit of persons who may be shipwrecked on them. During her coastal trips she called at Gisborne, Picton, Port Underwood, Kaikoura, Lyttelton, Akaroa, Timaru, Oamaru, Otago Harbour, Bluff, and Stewart Island. It is usually found that after she visits a place applications for admission to her come from boys at those places. No difficulty has been experienced in keeping up her full complement of sixty boys in fact, there, are usually boys waiting for vacancies. The general behaviour of the boys has been good ; their duties have been carried out with alacrity and cheerfulness, and there have been.no serious offences against discipline. Under the arrangement made with the Union Steamship Company four more of the best boys have been placed on board the s.s. " Aparima " to be trained as officers. Their names are —S. A. Faulkner, of Devonport; W.. 11. Cadwallader, of Timaru ;F. H. Rettei, of Auckland ; and L. M.assey, of Gisborne. There are at present fifty boys who have been trained in the ship serving in the Empire's military and naval forces. They are as follows : With the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces- W. W. McNeil, C. J. Lawton, H. C. Breach, A. S. Birse, W. Brennan. F. Small, E. L. G. Mahony, A. J. Cox, W. Morrisey, P. J. Jenkins, V. J. Hay, E. C. Sarginson, J.G. Macalistcr, S. R. Billett, f. I. Moir, W. Middleton, C. C. Todd, B. W. Martin, T. j. Guthrie, A. .1. Wesfriipp, H. C. Watson, J. Scaife, P. Manson, C. G. Edwards, E. A. Latimer, G. Silvester, I. Asher, and J. Smith ; in His Majesty's Navy—R. H. Hucks. A. H. Soper, W. H. Burborough, •). P. Burrows, B. Macfarlane, 11. 0. Stone, G. M. Collins, E. Magnusson, F..C. Turvey, H. G. Ilullah, R. W. Fairweather, R. T. Lugs, H. T. M. Watson, F. Darlow, E. 0. Maney, T. W. Par'ton, F. Kivell, J. Hannan, C. .1. M. Gaby, and I. Grace; in the Imperial Army- T. R. Wagstaff :in Imperial Transport Service—M. Martin. The members of the permanent staff have carried out their duties very satisfactorily. Their quarters are very cramped, but owing to the small size of the ship they cannot be enlarged. Lighthouses. The construction of a ferro-concrete tower for the proposed light; on Karori Rock has been proceeded with during the year, but, owing to its being impossible to work ou the rock in southerly weather and to there having been a good deal of such weather, the progress of the work has been slower than anticipated. A portion of the foundation had to be started near high-water mark and built up to the top of the rock a height of 25 ft. This has been completed, and the tower has been built to a height of 32 ft. above the rock, leaving 8 ft. to be completed. The light will be, an automatic acetone-acetylene white light showing a flash of half a second followed by an eclipse of three and a half seconds. An iron tower has been erected ou Channel Island, in the Hauraki Gulf, and an automatic acetoneacetylene white light has been installed in it. It was lighted on the 11th February, .1915, last, and showed the following flashes: half-second light; two seconds eclipse; half-second light; ten seconds eclipse. Since it was lighted a defect developed in the mechanism, and pending a new flasher being procured the light is showing a flash of half-second light with eight seconds darkness. A vote was taken last session for a light on Flat Rock, in the Hauraki Gulf. The necessary steps are now being taken to alter the beacon on the rock to make it suitable for carrying a light, and an automatic acetone-acetylene light has been ordered. Automatic acetone-acetylene lights have been ordered for Nelson and Ponui Passage lighthouses. Last session of Parliament a vote was taken for a light on Okuri Point, D'Urville Island, which will serve as a, mark for the Beef Barrel Rocks, and steps are being taken to erect the necessary tower and to procure an automatic acetylene light. The Pintsch-gas light has been maintained at Jackson's Head, but I recommend that an automatic acetone-acetylene light be procured and substituted for it, as such a light will be more reliable, the work of attending to it will be much lighter, and the cost of the necessary gas less. The various lighthouses have been maintained in a state of efficiency, and the, keepers have carried out their duties satisfactorily. The Department has always necessarily provided houses for keepers, and in consequence of this being done their salaries have been less than they would have been had they provided houses themselves. Since the Public Service Superannuation Fund was established the keepers have had a valid grievance in that their superannuation allowances being based on their salaries, those allowances are less when they retired than they would have been had they provided their own houses, as is done by other public servants for whom houses are not provided. This grievance would be remedied by fixing the salaries £25 a year.higher than the rates hitherto paid, and charging the keepers £25 a year house-rent. Lightning struck Dog Island tower at 12.30 a.m. on the Ist June last, fusing the telephone-wires and speaking-tube, destroying two spare copper shutters and all connections on the telephone-line to the Bluff, breaking four windows, and smashing tank-stand where the current went to earth. On the 30th September an earthquake threw the machine out of position in the Cape Campbell tower : the light was out for, one night, when the machine was put back into its place. On the 28th October an earthquake made a deep crack in a part of East Island near the lighthouse and the principal keeper's house, but no damage was done to the buildings.

During the year I have inspected the lighthouses at Castle Point, Portland Island, East Cape, Ponui Passage, Tiritiri, Mokohinou, Chicken's Island, (.'ape Brett, Cape Maria van Diemen, Kaipara, Manukau, and Cape Egmont; but pressure of departmental work has prevented me visiting those in Cook Strait and the South. A rearrangement has beenjmade night a watches at; lighthouses where there are two keepers, which allows two watches to be kept from the Ist November to the end of February, the first watch being from sunset to midnight second from midnight to sunrise. At three-men stations the watches remain as hitherto -namely, first watch from sunset to 8 p.m., second from 8 p.m. until midnight, third from midnight to 4 a.m., and fourth from 4 a.m. until sunrise. Three keepers have died, two have, resigned, two have been transferred to othei Departments, and one has from the service for going to sleep on .watch, when the light, which is a revolving one, became stationary. Eight new keepers have been appointed to fill the vacancies. The following additions and repairs have been made to lighthouses : —(Jape Maria van Diemen : Winches repaired ; second assistant keeper's house enlarged. Mokohinou : Landing-place improved and new crane erected. East Cape : Boat-shed finished and new telegraph-cable laid. Manukau Head : Fence erected. Kaipara : Washhouse erected. Penearrow : Fence erected. French. Pass : Flagstaff erected. Stephen Island : Underground water-tanks repaired. Cape Campbell : Babbitproof fence erected. Akaroa Head : Incandescent light installed. Taiaroa Head : Telephones and washtubs put in. Cape Saunders : Winch repaired. Nugget Point : Fowlhouses, cow-shed., and stables erected. Dog Island : Roofs repaired, porches built, drains laid, and new lightning-conductor fitted. Centre Island : New boat supplied. Marine Store. The new store for the Department on the reclaimed land at Wellington has been completed, and the two old stores which were at Pipitea Point have been moved to the new site. The new store has been fitted with a travelling crane which enables the work of taking in and putting out goods to be carried out more expeditiously. Fog-signals. The explosive fog-signals at Cuvier Island, Penearrow Head, Godley Head, and Taiaroa Head have been maintained in good working-order. Repairs have been made to those at Godley Head and Taiaroa Head. The light dues collected during the year amounted to £39,216 I Os. Id., as compared with £41,745 12s. 4d. during the previous year. Harbours. The s.s. " Hinemoa " has carried out the work of cleaning and painting the buoys in the harbours under the control of the Department. Arrangements have been made for the erection of a beacon to carry a light in the Narrows, Hokianga Harbour, bstween Rawene and Kohukohu, and a light has been ordered. A new retaining-wall is being built round the area at Kohukohu, which was reclaimed by the deposit of sawdust sawmill was working there. The Department's intention when it started this wall was to road the; land, cut it up, and lease the sections, but since the work was commenced the Railway Department has asked for the area tor a site for a sawmill which it proposes to establish at Hokianga, and the question of whether' the request will be acceded to is under consideration. A portion of the foreshore at Rawene has been surveyed and, cut up into sections, which have been leased, and it is proposed to survey a further portion so that it may be out up into sections for lease as demand for them arises. As it has been found inconvenient for the Harbourmaster to be stationed at Hokianga Heads, it has been decided to move him and the boatman to Rawene, where he will be in a central position, and arrangements have been made to erect a new house for him there, and to move the boatman's house up from the Heads. The contract which was let for making a buoy to carry the proposed light at Beacon Reach, Kaipara Harbour, has not yet been completed, owing to the delay in getting the necessary material from England which arose in consequence of the war; but as soon as the buoy is ready it will be placed in position, and the light will be placed on it. In February last the automatic light at Shelly Beach in this harbour went out owing to the gas escaping from the cylinders. The light was relighted as soon as a fresh supply of gas was obtained, and there has been no difficulty with it since. The work of repairing and extending the training-wall at Karamea is being carried out. Ploods have necessitated extensive modifications and additions to the contracts. The repairs to the wharf have been completed, and it is proposed to repair the wharf-shed. The Harbours Act, 191.0, gives power to lease mud-flats on which there is not sufficient water at high water for navigation purposes, the leases not to exceed twenty-one years; and applications for leases in Kaipara Harbour have been received, the applicants desiring to reclaim the land by banking the tide out, and then to use the areas for fruitgrowing and gardening. Arrangements have been made with the Lands Department to inspect the flats, and report as to the areas in which they should be leased and as to the rents that should be charged. The practice of licensing persons to take gravel and sand from the foreshores on payment of a royalty has been continued, most of the licenses being for the Hauraki Gulf. It is proposed to proclaim a strip of land round a portion of the, gulf to be a reserve, so that the taking of the material from the foreshore may not cause injury to private land. The necessary survey has been made and the plans prepared. A report by the Marine Engineer on the various works dealt with by him is appended.

Proceedings have been taken against persons for taking shingle and sand without permits, and for offences in connection with harbours, as follows : W. Larsen, for taking shingle —fined £2 and costs ; S. Clare, for taking shingle—-fined £10 and costs ; T. Brown, for taking shingle—fined £4 and costs ;J. Spencer, for taking shingle fined £2 and costs ;W. Hadly, for taking shingle --fined ss. and costs ; and L. Vasta, master of the ketch " Coronation," for depositing ballast in Russell Harbour -fined £5 and costs. 11. Hardiraan was prosecuted for sending a boy to steal benzene from the Harbourmaster's shed at Hokianga, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The sum of £1,561 16s. Id. was collected for pilotage and port charges in respect of harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £1,440 13s. 4d. 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. Fisheries. On the completion of the examination of the fisheries of the Dominion last year Professor Prince, the Canadian Commissioner of. Fisheries, made a preliminary report containing valuable recommendations which are under consideration. His complete report, has not, however, been yet received, but a letter has recently been received from him stating he has it in hand. The Department continued to pick rock-oysters in the Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Islands last season. The beds have improved so much that a greater quantity than was picked could have been taken had there been a greater demand for them. The quantity picked and sold was 8,361 sacks, and the amount realized was £5,752 6s. 6d., and the net profit made was £1,664 18s., part of which has been used to replant depleted areas. I saw some of the beds in December and January last, when they were in first-class condition, and they should this season meet all demands which is a very different state of things from that which existed when the, Department took over the picking in 1908, at which time they were becoming rapidly depleted by the indiscriminate picking which was carried on by private pickers. The price charged is 13s. 6d. a sack at the depot in Auckland, and in addition to disposing of them by the sack the Department is now selling them at the depot in quantities of five dozen for Is., and a kerosene-tin full, or about eighteen dozen, for 3s. These parcels have met with ready sale, 367 sacks having been sold in such parcels to persons who do not require so large, a quantity as a sack. The beds in Hokianga Harbour, which were very much depleted by overpicking when the system of private picking was in vogue, having recovered, they were picked last season, and the oysters were sold locally at 10s. a sack. They are being again picked this season and sold in the Hokianga district . at the same price. Of the oysters, 8,361 sacks, picked last season in the Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Islands, and Hokianga, 7,523 sacks were sold at Auckland, 255 at Russell, 38 at Hokianga, 248 at New Plymouth, 138 at Gisborne, 60 at Napier, 12 at Hokitika, 8 at Greymouth, 19 at Weijtport, 2 at Patea, 13 at Wanganui, 43 at Wellington, and 2 at Christchurch. There are now large quantities of mangrove-oysters growing on the mangrove-trees in the north of Auckland, and as there is no market for these oysters in New Zealand, it would be advisable to export them to Australia, which formed a good market for them before the export of rock and mangrove oysters was prohibited. The oysters taken from the Foveaux Strait beds last season were 24,793 sacks, valued at £12,396 10s., of which 3,285 sacks, containing 302,050 dozen, valued at £2,396, were exported to Australia. Thirteen Inspectors of Sea Fisheries, of whom eight were members of the Police Force, were appointed during the year. Mr. Henry Stephenson, who has been Inspector of Fisheries at the Bay of Islands since the Ist September, 1892, will retire on superannuation at the end of October next. He has been a most capable and zealous officer, and I regret the age-limit necessitates his retirement. Toheroa : The toheroa-bearing coast in the Kaipara district has been cut up into reasonable areas for leasing, £5 being fixed as the annual rent for each area. Provision was made in the leasing regulations that if two or more persons apply for the same area the one having a canning-factory in operation is to receive the lease, and if there are two or more applicants who have factories, the one who has had his factory the longest is to receive preference. Tenders were invited for the leases, but only two were received, and as these were for the same area and both tenderers had factories, the preference clause had to be put into operation. The report of Mr. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, is appended, and also the report on the Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery, by Mr. Anderton, the curator. Inspection of Land Boilers and Machinery. As it was found that the Inspectors employed by the Department were unable to keep the inspection-work up to date, two new Inspectors have been appointed, one of whom, Mr. D. Rankin, has been stationed at Napier, and the other, Mr. S. N. Johnston, at Wanganui ; and in order that the law requiring boilers and machinery to be inspected may be carried out, so as to provide as far as possible for the safety of life and freedom from, accident, it will soon be necessary to appoint another Inspector for the Waikato. As pointed out by the Chief Inspector in his report which is appended hereto, it is advisable that more frequent inspections should be made of passenger and goods lifts ; but it is impossible to do this without an increase in the staff. This will, of course, involve an increase in the cost of inspection, but this should not stand in the way when the safety of life is concerned. As pointed out in the synopsis of the Inspection of Machinery Amendment Act, which appears in this report, certificates for boilers and machinery are now issued by the Secretary of the Department on the reports of the Inspectors who made the inspections, which saves time and expense. Prior to

the coming into operation of the amending Act of 1914 the certificates were made out in the Head Office and sent to the Inspectors for signature, and were then posted by them to the post-offices at which the inspection fees were to be paid. Under the new system they are completed at the Head Office and sent direct to the post-office ; a notice that this has been done, with a note of the fees payable, being at the same time posted to each owner. Certificates have been issued to 414 land engineers and land engine-drivers, and a list of the persons receiving them is appended hereto. 1 have, &c., The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington. George Allport, Secretary. The Marine Engineer to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir,— 15th April, 1915. I have the honour to report as follows upon the various works dealt with during the year ended the 31st March, 1915 :— Cape Maria van Diemen Lighthouse.- A revolving cowl is being manufactured for the purpose of improving the ventilation. Hokianga : Taheke River Improvement.- A scheme for improving the river-channel has been prepared, and some work has been done in the way of removing rocks, destroying willows, &c. The remainder of the work can only be done when the river is at its lowest, and will be attended to at the first opportunity. Hokianga : Kohukohu Reclamation. —Contracts were prepared and tenders invited for the erection of a protective wall and other works, but the tenders received were considered excessive, and the work is being carried out under the direction of the Department. Small contracts have been let for the supply of Steelwork, and also for pile-driving, &c. The work is approaching completion, and the area behind the walls is being filled in. Hokianga: Harbourmaster's and Boatman s Houses. Arrangements are being made for the removal of the boatman's cottage from the Heads to Rawene, and for some additions and improvements ; also for the erection of a new residence for the Harbourmaster at the same place. Hokianga : Beacon at the Narrows. —rlt is proposed to construct a beacon with automatic acetylene light on a rock at The Narrows, Hokianga. Plans, &c, have been prepared, and arrangements made for the construction of the concrete base, and for the manufacture of the pedestal. The lightingapparatus is on order, Hokianga: Launch-landing at Rawene. Reports and estimates have been prepared in connection with a proposed launch-landing at Rawene. Hokianga : Mangamuka and Orira Rivers. A small vote for the improvement of these rivers has been expended in snagging, but further expenditure is necessary to complete the work satisfactorily. Hokianga : Karaka Point Wharf. A proposal, to erect a wharf at Karaka Point was investigated and reported upon. Mokohinou Lighthouse. A revolving cowl, similar to that which is being installed at Cape Maria, has been ordered for this lighthouse. Flat Rock Beacon. -It is proposed to instal an automatic acetylene light on the beacon at Flat Rock, Kawau Island, and the necessary information is being obtained. Great Barrier Wharf. Surveys have been made in connection with the road approaches. Kaipara : Mititai Wharf. —A further report was supplied regarding channel improvement, with estimate for a suitable training-wall. Kaipara: Beacon Reach Light-buoy. A tender has been accepted for the manufacture of a buoy to carry an automatic light for use in Beacon Reach, Northern Wairoa River. The work is not yet complete. The lighting-apparatus is being obtained. Manukau Harbour. —A report was prepared in connection with a stock route across the mudHat at Otahuhu. Puhoi River.—A report was supplied with regard to a private reclamation. Paparoa River Wharf. A report was prepared in connection with some suggested improvements and repairs. Auckland,: Tu.ranga Creek Wharf. A proposal to erect a wharf at Turanga Creek was reported upon. Auckland: Taikata Creek Bridge. A difference of opinion having arisen between the local authorities concerned as to the class of navigation to be provided for in connection with this bridge, a report and recommendation were made. Plans, &c, have since been approved. Auckland : Channel Island Light. —A wire ropeway has been constructed and the pedestal erected ready for the lighting-apparatus, which has since been fitted up and the light exhibited. Auckland Waterways Commission. —A cei'tain amount of business has been dealt with in connection with this Commission. Pinko River Entrance. —Two leading-lights are being erected to facilitate navigation. Whangapoua.— A report was furnished regarding the condition of a wharf at this place. Tauranga Harbour. -A report was prepared i*l connection with a complaint, that certain landowners had encroached upon the foreshore. Sundry reports have been furnished in connection with wharf and harbour improvements at Tauranga. The matter is complicated, by the projwised railwayline and station-yard in the vicinity, and a conference between representatives of the Government Departments and local authorities concerned has been arranged in order to devise a scheme which will meet all requirements. :

Matata.- A report was prepared with regard to the silting alleged to have taken place in consequence of the diversion of the Bangitaiki River in connection with the land-drainage scheme. Hicks Bay. —A proposal to erect a breakwater at Hicks Bay was reported upon. Waiwawa River.- Complaints having been made regarding the condition of the river, owing to timber-driving, the matter was investigated and reported upon. Waipa River. —ln order to obtain data with a view to improving the navigation of the, Waipa River, gauges were erected at several places and connected with a line of levels, and the height of water' in the liver has since been observed regularly. Kawhia.- A report has been obtained in connection with a proposed ferro-concrete wharf extension. Castle Point Lighthouse. —Suggestions have been made regarding the renewal of the roofs of the houses at Castle Point, where the present roofing-material has proved unsatisfactory. Karori Rock Beacon.- The erection of this beacon has been continued under great difficulties, due to the very exposed position of the rock. It is only when the sea is smooth that it is possible to do any work, the concrete being mixed on shore and carried by boat to the rock. Up to the present the base has been constructed, and the tower carried up to a height of about 20 ft. above it, or 45 ft. above water-level. The lighting-apparatus has been obtained, and can be fitted up as soon as the tower is completed, which should be in about two months' time, provided reasonably fine weather is experienced. Karamea. —The repairs to the wharf, which were in hand at date of last report, have since been completed. Plans have been prepared for additions to the wharf-shed. The contract for repairs to the training-wall is still in hand, as is also the contract for extension, both having been seriously affected by floods, which, have also necessitated extensive modifications and additions to the contracts. The extension of the training-wall having narrowed the channel, a number of residents, with the assistance of the Department, attempted to improve the entrance by diverting the river. Their efforts, combined with an opportune flood, resulted in the formation of a new outlet through a sandspit, which has so far proved quite satisfactory. Westport. —A report was furnished in connection with harbour-works at this port. Kaikoura. —A proposal to provide better shelter for fishing-boats was reported upon. Greymouth. —Sundry matters relating to harbour improvements have been dealt with. Godley Head Lighthouse. —A report was supplied with reference to improvements in the watersupply. Bruce Bay Landing. —Some further information has been obtained with regard to improved landing facilities at Bruce Bay, South Westland, and plans, &c, are being prepared. Pelorus Sound — Kenepuru Arm — Waitaria Wharf. —This new structure was completed in August last. Wai/makariri River. —Further reports and estimates have been furnished in connection with the proposed training-wall to fix the outlet of this river. Moerahi. —The repairs to launch-slip, which were in hand at date of last report, have since been completed. Cape Saunders Lighthouse.- A new winch has been provided for the landing-crane. Otago Harbour.- Sundry matters in connection with reclamation-works, &c, have been reported upon. Taieri River. —A new jetty, in reinforced concrete, is being erected on the northern side of the river, near its mouth, and a report and estimate was prepared in connection with repairs to the existing jetty on the southern side, at Taieri Mouth Township. Nuggets Boat-landing .— The mole protecting the fishermen's landing has been extended a short distance, the new work consisting of concrete blocks. A further sum is available and will be expended in a similar manner. Dog Island lAghthouse. —The lightning-conductor has been renewed. Ruapuke Island. —A proposal to construct a wharf is being investigated. R. W. Holmes, Marine Engineer. The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Secretary of the Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department. Sir,— Customhouse Building, Wellington, 27th May, 1915. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report on the operations and work of the Inspectors of Machinery and the Ships during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1915. The work connected with the surveys of steamers, of sailing-vessels, and of oil-launches i. r ; practically up to date. The launch-surveying has now assumed large proportions all over New Zealand and has engaged the attention of two Surveyors of Ships during the year. The land-boiler inspections and the machinery inspections include hydraulic and electric lifts for the carriage of both passengers and cargo. All oil and gas engines and electric motors have been inspected in all parts of New Zealand. In most of the country districts this year, owing to the weather-conditions, which have been good, a great number of new machinery inspections have been made in the more remoto'parts of the various districts. In the North Auckland district it will, I think, be advisable to open a new district office soon, either in Dargaville or Whangarei. The ship-surveys are getting very numerous in the Kaipara, Hokianga, Whangarei, and Bay of Islands, and the land machinery in and around those centres is, owing to new land-settlement, increasing very rapidly.

In the four principal towns of New Zealand the time of one Inspector is now largely devoted to inspecting passenger and goods lifts, and more time should, I think, be devoted to work of this kind in the large cities than heretofore. The speed of these lifts is fairly high and the wear-and-tear considerable. During the working-day thousands of passengers travel up and down in these passengerlifts. So far, very few accidents have been recorded with lifts, and but for the supervision given to them the number of accidents might easily have been more numerous. I personally visited most of the districts throughout the year, and I can bear testimony to the zeal displayed by the surveying and inspecting staff in their respective districts. The engineering trades have been slack during the year, and the new work offering has not been sufficient to keep all the works at their full running capacities. Ship-building has been fairly busy in Auckland and Dunedin. Annual Survey of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. During the year new Life-saving Appliances Rules for ships came into operation. The rules deal with new boat equipment, more especially lifeboat equipment in the seagoing class of vessel, and buoyant equipment for vessels plying in restricted limits in and around harbours. Considerable alterations have had to be made in the equipments of most foreign-going vessels, and these have added to the cost of surveys this year. These regulations have led to a good deal of correspondence, but so far satisfactory arrangements have been made to comply with the regulations without unnecessary friction of any sort. There is no doubt that each year adds to the cost of running a modern ship, but any appliance that leads to the greater safety of ships should be adopted without delay. Modern passenger-ships, even in New Zealand waters, are large and carry a lengthy passenger-list, particularly in the intercolonial trades. Four new vessels, over 25 tons gross register, have been built in the Dominion during the year, and six vessels are now under construction. The plans and specifications for all these vessels were submitted to the Department for approval. Last year the engines and boilers of only one out of the throe steamers built were made in the Dominion. Of the four vessels completed this year, three are steamers, and in each case the boilers and machinery were made in the Dominion. This is a step in the right direction, and proves that satisfactory work can be done in the Dominion equal to the imported article. Two steamers, the " John Anderson " and the " Admiral," have been fitted with new boilers made locally, and these were supervised by the Department's Surveyors during the whole time of construction and installation. Of the four new vessels, two, the " Albany " and "Te Teko," were built of New Zealand wood, the other two, the dredge " Wallace " and the tug " Dunedin," of steel plating. The " Albany " is a twin-screw steamer of 35 tons gross and 20 tons register, and is employed carrying passengers in restricted limits. The "Te Teko "is an oil-engine cargo vessel of 108 tons gross and 56 tons register. She is fitted with twin screws, and the propelling-engines are of the semi-Diesel type and are of 120 b.h.p. The dredge " Wallace" was built on the Priestman system. Her length is 83 ft. 9 in., breadth 22 ft., depth 6 ft. 6 in. The propelling-engines have cylinders 9 in. by 16 in. diameter, with a stroke of 10 in. The boiler is of the dry-back marine type, 6 ft. in diameter and 5 ft. 3 in. in length. The tug " Dunedin " is of the following dimensions : Length, 124 ft. 6 in. ; breadth, 25 ft. ; depth, 13 ft. 6 in. Her gross tonnage is 345 and the register tonnage, 125. The vessel is propelled by two sets of triple-expansion surface-condensing engines, each set driving a separate propeller. A contraflo condenser with centrifugal circulating-pump has been fitted, and also an independent air-pump and a pair of feed-pumps. Salvage and fire pumps and a complete electric-lighting plant have been installed. Steam is supplied from an Inglis type of marine boiler, 14 ft. in diameter and 11 ft. in length, working at a pressure of 180 lb. per square inch. This is the first New Zealand vessel to have this type of boiler fitted. The boiler is similar to the Scotch type, except that the products of combustion first pass from the common combustion-chamber at the back of the furnaces to a flue leading to the front of the boiler. The gases then travel back again by way of the usual small tubes to the uptake at the back of the boiler. The boiler is fitted with three corrugated furnace-tubes, and the flue-tube, which is similar to the furnace-tubes, is placed directly above the centre furnace. Sixty-seven of the steamers surveyed were fitted with new propeller-shafts ; sixteen had new propoflers fitted; eleven had new blades fitted to their propellers ; twenty had now engines fitted ; several had new boilers fitted, three of which, were made in the Dominion. One vessel was fitted with a new donkey boiler. Considerable repairs and renewals to several of the vessels surveyed were made. Extensive repairs, as set out below, were effected at survey to the following vessels :— S.S. "Elsie." —ln the forward part of the hull a new keelson, 12 in. by 7 in. by 28 ft., was fitted and secured with. Muntz bolts, fin. diameter. The mast was found to be defective, and was renewed. A new casing was built over the boiler. The engines were lifted out of the ship and thoroughly overhauled, including the reboring of cylinders and the fitting of new pistons. A new donkey pump was fitted. All the main and auxiliary steam-pipes were tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure. The steering-chains were renewed. S.S. " Ennerdale." —The principal repairs at the survey of this vessel were made to the propelling machinery and the donkey boiler. The shafting of the main engines was lined up, the crank-shaft being lifted | in. and the thrust-shaft j%in. The spare propeller was fitted. In the main boiler a number of rivets in the circumferential seams at the bottom of the boiler were renewed. The landing, where forward end plates join the shell at the bottom of the boiler, was overlapped with a patch 9 ft. long by | in. thick. The bottom of the centre tube-plate at the front end was also patched. In the combustion-chambers four dog-stays, two screwed stays, one 21 in. back stay, one stay-tube, and two plain tubes and sixty rivets were renewed. In the donkeyjboiler eighty plain tubes and two stay-tubes were renewed. Two new feed-pump plungers were fitted, and new valves were fitted to the main and donkey check-valve chests.

EL—l5

S.S. " John Anderson." —A new main boiler, with new seats and casings, was fitted into the vessel. Structural repairs to the hull in the engine-room consisted of five new floors and reverse-bars, two new stringer-bars, and five new frames in the bunkers. The bunkers were renewed. Two new plates were fitted to hull. The bottom of the collision-bulkhead was repaired. The repairs to the machinery included the straightening of the intermediate shafting and the facing of the couplings, and the drawing and the cleaning of condenser-tubes. All winch steam-pipes were renewed. A new seat was fitted to one safety-valve. A new check-valve and a new blow-down pipe were fitted. S.S. " Karoro." —Some important repairs were made to the hull of this vessel. The main keelson on the engine-room was strengthened by fitting two pieces of hardwood on each side of it. Two new sister keelsons were placed under the boiler-bed. The bulkhead between the boiler and fore hold and seven floor-timbers in the fore hold were renewed. Nine feet of the upper part of the stern, was renewed, and four new hull-planks have been fitted on the starboard side and three on the port side. A new deck has been laid between the hatchway and the after-deck house. The vessel has been fitted with a new boiler, which was constructed in Auckland under the supervision of the local Surveyors. S.S. " Maheno." —This intercolonial steamer is of the turbine-driven class. Her original machinery consisted of three sets of direct-driven turbines driving separate propellers. Those were taken out of the vessel at Port Chalmers and two sets of geared turbines were installed. The original central propeller has been discarded. All the original turbine and shaft seatings were cut out, and new seatings for the turbines, gear-cases, thrust-blocks, and bearings were erected. New stern-tubes of lap-welded steel have been fitted. All ballast-tanks were tested by water-pressure. Alterations were also made in the passenger accommodation, and casings for eight cabins have been fitted on the port and starboard sides of the after end of the smoking-room on the promenade deck. The geared turbines were made by Messrs. Denny, engineers, of Dumbarton. S.S. " Mascolte." —The main boiler was lifted out of this vessel. New tubes, new bar-stays in steam-space, and four new stays in the combustion-chamber were fitted. The boiler was tested by hydraulic pressure to one and a half times the Working-pressure. All main steam-pipes were also tested. S.S. " Ngaliawa." —Both of the main engines were raised. The engino-seatings, all the reverse ■ angles under engine-seatings, and all intorcostals Were reriveted. Four of the intercostals were renewed. Two new 3 in. pillars were fitted in the engine-room. Both engines were relined off and fitted down to teak-wood chocks. New holding-down bolts were made and fitted. O.E.V. " Taupiri." —This vessel received a thorough overhaul. Twenty-five rib frames, two sister keelsons, and several planks on both sides of hull were renewed. The inside lining of hull, the stern-post, the deadwood rudder, and rudder-post were renewed. A new stern-tube, propeller-shaft, and propeller have been fitted. The steering-gear has been renewed throughout, and a deck-house has been erected over the machinery. S.S. " Wairoa" (of Auckland). —The wooden boaters under the boiler have been removed and replaced with two long bearers, 28 ft. by 8 in. by 6 in., which have been bolted down to the hull. A new keelson, 40 ft. by 10 in. by 10 in., has been fitted under the engine and boiler. The lower side plates of the bunkers have been renewed. The old boiler was lifted out and a new boiler installed. The new boiler was fitted with now gun-metal mountings, new stop and safety valves and chests, smoke-box, and funnel. The stern-tube was rebored, a new metal bush and a new brass-lined propeller tail-shaft fitted. The whole of the engine-shafting Was lined up. New feed-pump escape-valves and chests were fitted. A portion of the main steam-pipe was renewed, and the whole of the main and auxiliary steam-pipes were tested by hydraulic pressure to double the working-pressure. The number of steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels surveyed during the year amount to 756, which shows a considerable increase on last year's surveys. Besides the usual annual surveys, a great many visits have been made by the Surveyors to vessels between annual-survey dates at docking-times, to have a look at the hulls and to see that the boats and equipments had been kept up to the standard. The steamer excursion trips have been quite as numerous during the year as in former years, and have all been run free of accident. _ Surveys of Ships for Seaworthiness. Thirty-six of these special surveys of steam-vessels were made during the year throughout the Dominion. The principal causes for these surveys were the following : Vessels grounding, collisions, fire, boiler-defects, defects in steam-pipes, and leakage in hulls through loose rivets, mostly caused by driving vessels when light against a heavy head sea. Government Steamers. The Government steamers were all surveyed during the year, at which surveys no extensive repairs were made, with the exception of the s.s. " Janie Scddon " and s.s. " Lady Roberts," both of which have had fairly heavy repairs made to their main boilers. The names of the Government vessels surveyed are—s.s. " Ben Lomond," s.s. " Earnslaw," s.s. " Hauraki," s.s. " Hinemoa," o.e.v. " Hula," o.e.v. " Irvine," s.s. " Janie Seddon," s.s. " Lady Roberts," o.e.v. " Manurere," o.e.v. " Maroro," s.s. " Mountaineer," o.e.v. " Patiti," o.e.v. " Reremoana," s.s. " Tawora," s.s. " Tutanekai," and o.e.v. Defence launch "W." Additional Steamers and Auxiliary-powered Vessels surveyed for the First Time. Sixty-one steamships and vessels fitted with oil-engines as a motive power were surveyed -for the first time during the year. This clearly proves the healthy expansion of the shipping trade in and around the ports of the Dominion, notwithstanding the adverse conditions under which trade has been carried on during the year. Sailing-ships. All surveys that were asked for by owners have been carried out. Several of these vessels have required a fair amount of time spent on them, as the repairs in some cases Were fairly heavy. These

EL—l5

include new deck-beams, new stringers, new decks and new side planking, and a good many refastenings to hull. The copper sheathing, steering-gear, and centre-board gear in nearly all vessels required attention. These repairs were absolutely necessary to bring the vessels up to a seaworthy condition. Among the principal surveys made of sailing-vessels are the following : Ketch " Katie S."— This vessel was thoroughly overhauled. A new stem and apron were fitted. New planking was fitted to both sides ol the bow. New bulwarks on both sides forward, new hawsepipes, and a new pawl-post for the windlass were fitted. Other parts renewed include the centre-board, knight-heads, decking forward, wheel chains for the steering-gear, bowsprit, and headgear. The bilges were stripped and the decks caulked. Ketch " Pahiki." —The repairs to this vessel include two/new stringers, 35 ft. by 12in. by 2sin., fitted to the hull, one on either side ; three new half-beams under the deck ; new lining in the hold where required, and centre casing renewed for 3 ft. 6 in. from the top. The general repairs include three new planks in the hull on the port side, two on the starboard side, and two on the starboard bow. The bottom of the vessel was re fastened and the whole of the hull recaulked. Six new deck-planks were fitted and the decks Were caulked. A new centre-board was fitted and new coamings to the starboard side of the hatchway were new equipments were placed on board the vessel, including masts, rigging, and cargo gear. Schooner " Rangi." —The| lum-lcg of the donkey boiler was renewed, and compensating-plates were fitted at all sludge-door openings, and new mud-doors were fitted. Repairs were also made to the centre-board of the vessel, the rudder-stock, the steering-wheel and chains, and the bower anchors. Schooner " Welcome." —The repairs to this vessel include the following : Six deck-beams were renewed ; ten new pillars were fitted under the deck ; two partly new headstocks, each 14 ft. by 5 in. by 5 in., were fitted for the pillars under the deck. The following new planks were fitted to hull of vessel: Eight were fitted in the bottom and one on the side, each 25 ft. by 1 ft. 10 in. by 6 in. ; six 9 in. by 4 in. timbers were fitted in the sides, and the whole were thoroughly rebolted. New pieces of covering board, 24 ft. by 10 in. by 3 in., were fitted. Both sides of the vessel were recaulked. One iron knee on the forward bulwarks was repaired. Several pieces of deck-planking were renewed, and the c ntre-board casing was repaired and caulked. The deadwood was repaired and rebolted. All the rudder-bands were refastened, and the rudder-gudgeons were bushed and refastened. The centreboard was reversed and fitted with new sheaves and pins. The total number of sailing-vessels surveyed was ninety-five. Explosive Permits. At the port of Wellington 211 permits were given for the carriage of explosives on passenger and cargo vessels. Marine Engineers' Examinations. As foreshadowed in my report last year, new regulations have been issued for the examination of marine engineers in the Dominion to conform with regulations recently issued by the British Board of Trade. The new regulations were gazetted on the 15th Juno, 1914, and came into operation on the Ist August, 1914. A considerable alteration has been made in the service necessary to qualify for both the first-class and the second-class engineers' examinations. The machinery on board modern steamers is getting more complicated every year, and the knowledge required, both scientific and practical, covers a wide field. Examinations for certificates of competency were held during the year at Auckland,* Awanui. Ohristchureh,* Dunedin,* Greymouth,* Half-moon Bay, Hamilton,* Hokianga, Invercargill,* Kohukohu,* Napier,* Nelson,* Opotiki, Papatowai, Russell, Tauranga, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Whangaparapara, Whangarei, and Whitianga. The classes for which examinations were held were : First-class marine engineer, second-class marine engineer, third-class marine engineer, river engineer, marine engine-driver, first-class engineer of seagoing auxiliary-powered vessels, second-class engineer of seagoing auxiliary-powered vessels, and restricted-limits engineer of auxiliary-powered vessels. The total number of candidates who sat for examination was 296, of whom forty-nine failed. The examinations for marine engineers at Auckland, Wellington, Christchuroh, and Dunedin are now held every two months instead of every four months. This is of great benefit to the candidate, but the change has necessarily taken up a great deal more of the examiners' time than in former years. Examination of Land Engineers and Land-engine Drivers. These examinations were held at the principal centres throughout the Dominion, and special examinations have also been held at many places to suit the convenience of the applicants. The full list of places where examinations were held is as follows: Alexandra, Auckland,* Bannockburn, Blenheim, Christchuroh,* Dannevirke, Dargaville, Denniston, Dunedin,* Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Hawera,* Invercargill,* Kaikoura, Kohukohu, Napier,* Nelson,* Oban, Opotiki, Otautau, Palmcrston North,* Qucenstown, Tautuku, Timaru,* Waimana, Wanganui,* 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 both steam and electric power), and locomotive and traction engine drivers. Reciprocal certificates were issued to applicants from other States as follows : England, 2 ; Canada, 1 ; New South Wales, 1 ; Queensland, 1 ; South Africa, 1 ; Tasmania, 2 ; Victoria, 2 ; and Western Australia, 1 : total, 11.

The book of regulations for these examinations was reprinted during the year. By the Inspection of Machinery Amendment Act, 191.4, a candidate will, from the Ist April, 1915, be able to sit for either the locomotive or the traction certificate separately, or he can sit as in previous years for the full traction and locomotive certificate. The total number who sat for these examinations was 547 ; of this number 133 failed. Examination of Electric-tram Drivers. Examinations for this certificate were held at Auckland,* Napier,* Wanganui,* Wellington,* Christchuroh,* Dunedin,* and Invercargill.* The numbers who sat for examination total eighty ; of this 11 umber eight failed. Board of Examiners. The Board of Examiners, consisting of the Chief Inspector of Machinery of the Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department, the Inspecting Engineer of the Mines Department, the Engineer-in-Chief, and the Electrical Engineer of the Public Works Department, with Mr. J. G. M'acpherson as Secretary, sat in Wellington on thirteen days to issue certificates to candidates, and for other business with which the Board deals. Inspection of Gas, Oil, Water, and Electric-driven Machinery, including Lifts. Of this class of machinery there are still a number of inspections yet to be made, notwithstanding the fact that two thousand more inspections have been made this year than in any previous year. Oil-engines have been so perfected and cheapened that they are now within the reach of any one desiring a useful and an easily applied power. The machinery inspections this year total 11,053. Of this number, 1,650 were gas-engines, 4,870 oil-engines, 4,516 electric and other lifts and motors (which include water and electric motors), and .17 steam machinery. In Christchuroh the use of electric power is becoming general since the power generated at Lake Coleridge has been available. The electric motor takes up little room, and the power is easily applied. It can. be used at any time and for any purpose where power only is required for driving purposes. Fencing of Machinery and Accidents with Machinery. The fencing of machinery has received special attention this year. Some 784 notices have been given to owners to protect dangerous parts of machinery. The fencing of machinery tends to minimize the danger in connection with moving machinery, but no mechanical means can altogether take the place of the human element. Accidents will always occur, and this year quite a number of nonfatal and fatal accidents have taken place. A full account of each reported accident appears in. a return at the end of this report. Boilers inspected. During the year 7,398 boilers were examined, being an increase of 362 on the number inspected last year. 790 defects were discovered in connection with boilers, twenty-six of which were very dangerous. No boiler-explosion has taken place causing bodily injury to any one, which is a matter of great satisfaction to the Department, and I congratulate the entire technical staff on such a result. Every district as far as possible has been visited, and there were not a great many boilers overdue in any part of New Zealand at the end of the year. This branch of the Department's work has gone along very smoothly, and there have been few cases of dispute with owners. Several steam-jacketed pans of peculiar construction have been, submitted for the Department's ruling during the year. Three hundred and seventy new boilers were inspected for the first time during the year. The table below gives the districts to which they have gone, their horse-power, and whether made locally or imported :—■

Drawings for each of these boilers were submitted for approval before a decision as to a workingpressure was arrived at. The whole of the moving machinery driven by steam plants has been thoroughly inspected for the employees' safety. Defective fittings in connection with boilers numbering 350 were discovered during the year, and 425 notices to have repairs made to boilers were given to owners. Districts and Inspections. Two new Inspectors and Surveyors were appointed during the year. Mr. D. Rankin was appointed on the 4th January, 1915, and Mr. S. N. Johnston on the 15th January, 1915. Mi. Johnston has been appointed permanently to assist the Wanganui District officer, and Mr. Rankin to permanently assist the Napier officer. It will be necessary to appoint another officer to permanently assist the officer at Hamilton. This district has grown very much of late, and long distances have to be covered. Assistance totalling six months has been rendered by officers to districts other than their own throughout the year. The natural increase in boilers and machinery last year easily provided work for two new Inspectors, and this year will be no exception, so far as I can see, judging by the amount of new machinery installed since the beginning of April. I have, <&0., Robert Duncan, Chief Inspector of Machinery, Chief Surveyor of Ships ; Chief Examiner of Marine Engineers, Land Engineers, and Engine-drivers. The Secretary, Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department.

The Chief Inspector of Fisheries to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir, — Wellington, 4th June, 1915. 1 have the honour to supply the following report on the fisheries and the work curried out by me during the year ended the 3.lst March last. When I resumed my duties on the Ist April, on the expiration of my leave, I was engaged from that date until the 15th August making arrangements for and accompanying Professor Prince on his inspection tour of the fisheries of the Dominion. By instructions from the Hon. the Minister of Marine I met Professor Prince on his arrival at Auckland from. Vancouver on the 7th April, and accompanied him to Wellington by way of the Wanganui River. The Department decided to use the Government steamer " Hinemoa" to take Professor Prince on a sea cruise round the Dominion to enable him to inspect and test the various fishing-grounds. The vessel was fitted out with trawling-gear, dredges, &c, and also a supply of preservatives, and also jars and other receptacles for holding specimens, and was ready to begin the cruise on his arrival in Wellington, leaving there on the 14th April for- Lyttelton. The work of prospecting the fishing-grounds was commenced in, Pegasus Bay, off Lyttelton Heads, the following day, and from there the vessel worked south to Port Chalmers, testing the, various fishing-grounds on the way down. Mr. G. M. Thomson, Chairman of the Portobello Marine Fisheries Board, and Mr. Andcrton, Curator of the Portobello Marine Hatchery, joined the " Hinemoa "at Port Chalmers. Mr. Thomson remained on board until the work was finished as far south as Foveaux Strait, and Mr. Anderton continued on board throughout the cruise to assist Professor' Prince in collecting and sorting specimens. From Foveaux Strait the cruise was continued west to Te Waewae Bay, through the West ('oast Sounds, and up the west coast to Nelson, and from there through the Marlborough Sounds and Cook Strait to Wellington, arriving there on. the 30th April. During the cruise round the South Island twenty-eight hauls of the trawl-net were made, and. thirty-one shots of the dredge. The work of inspecting the fishing-grounds was resumed on the 4th May, when the " Hinemoa " left Wellington on her cruise round the North Island. Professor Prince remained on board until the vessel arrived at Auckland, where, owing to the limited time at his disposal, he was compelled to leave in order to commence an inspection of the lakes, rivers, and fish-hatcheries, and meet fishermen, fishsalesmen, members of Acclimatization Councils, and others interested in fish and fisheries at the various centres throughout the Dominion. The " Hinemoa " continued the work of inspecting the fishinggrounds from Auckland round the North Island, Captain Bollons directing the work, and Mr. Anderton collecting specimens and keeping the records of the work. Professor Prince commenced his overland tour through the Dominion the day he left the " Hinemoa " at Auckland (13th May), and we visited and held conferences with those interested in the fisheries generally at the following places : viz., Russell, Auckland, Thames, Tauranga, Rotorua, Okoroire, Taupo, Tokaanu, Napier, New Plymouth, Hawera, Wanganui, Masterton, Wellington, Picton, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth, Hokitika, Christchuroh, Lake Ellesmere, Temuka, Timaru, Oamaru, Hakataramea, Moeraki, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Invercargill, Bluff, Riverton, and Queenstown. We also made an inspection of some of the principal rivers and lakes in the following districts : viz., Southland (including Te Anau and Manapouri Lakes and their tributaries), Lake Wakatipu, Otago, Canterbury, Westland, Grey District, Nelson, Marlborough, Wellington, Wairarapa, Manawatu, Wanganui, Hawera, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Taupo, Rotorua, and Waikato. Professor Prince also made an inspection of the rock-oyster beds in the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands.

H—ls

As will be seen from his report, Professor Prince is very favourably impressed with the extent of our coastal fishing-grounds and of the quantity and quality of the fish obtainable, also with the lakes, rivers, and inland waters of the Dominion ; and in comparing the fisheries of New Zealand with those of some other countries lie says, " there is every ground for being optimistic in regard to the future of New Zealand, fisheries. Their extent and possibilities have not been adequately realized." Professor Prince makes useful and practical recommendations with regard to the organization and development of both the sea and fresh-water fish, and I hope the Government will see its Way to act on those recommendations with as little delay as possible. Besides the general tour with Professor Prince, I have since made during the year special visits of inspection to Bluff, Invercargill, Dunedin, Oamaru, Timaru, Lyttelton, Lake Ellesmere, Kaikoura, Marlborough Sounds, Nelson, Napier, Auckland, Whangarei. Bay of Islands, and Kaipara. I have also made a special inspection of the Hauraki Gulf, Bay of Islands, and Whangarei oyster-beds, and also an inspection of the toheroa-beds on the Rangitira Beach., near Helensville, and the beds between North Kaipara Heads and Maunganui Bluff. With regard to the supply of fish brought to market at the various fishing-ports during the year and the condition of the fisheries generally, I beg to give the following information from the local Inspectors' reports and from my own observations. Bluff and Stewart Island.-—The Inspector at Bluff reports that during the year 8,045 cwt. of fish, valued at £11,263, was landed, and of this quantity 4,445 cwt., chiefly blue cod, Was exported to Australia. During the .season three steamers and four auxiliary vessels were employed dredging for oysters, the steamers generally worked the " east " beds and the other vessels the " west " beds. The total quantity of oysters landed, during the season was 24,793 sacks, valued at £12,396 10s., of which 3,285 Were exported to Hobart, and Melbourne. The quality of the oysters during the last two seasons has been exceptionally good. Owing to the intercolonial steamers now running triweekly instead of weekly as formerly, a set-back has been given to the export trade of both fish and oysters. The fishermen at Stewart Island report good catches of blue cod and other market fish when the weather was favourable. A good deal of stormy weather was experienced in the spring and early summer, but notwithstanding this the earnings of the fishermen have been well maintained. In the New River Estuary and Riverton, flounders have been fairly plentiful throughout the year. Otago District. —The monthly reports supplied by Mr. Adams, Inspector of Fisheries for the Otago District, show that during the winter and spring bad weather frequently interfered with fishing operations, but notwithstanding this the market was fairly well supplied from the local fishinggrounds. Good catches of flounders, trevalli, &c, were frequently made by the seine-net men inside the harbour at times when bad weather prevented the trawlers and line men from going outside. Through the summer and autumn fish have been plentiful, and in fine Weather splendid catches of the best market fish were made, and the market has been very well supplied. At Nugget Bay the fishermen say it has been a poor season. Unfavourable weather up to the end of the year interfered with fishing ; since then fair catches of groper and blue cod have been made. At Pounawea, where the fishing is all seining in the tideway of the Catlins Estuary, good catches of flounders have been made. At Tautuku there are now five boats fishing and getting good catches. With proper facilities for getting the fish to market this place is capable of supplying a large quantity of fish for the Dunedin and other city markets. At Moeraki the catches of groper and blue-cod have been poor all through the winter, and since then fishermen report that the supply has not been equal to that of an average season. At Oamaru poor catches of groper were made up to the end of the year ; since then the supply has improved. Timaru. —The Collector of Customs, in his report on the fisheries, says that " the supply of fish has only been moderately good, the catches of groper by the line fishermen being much smaller than in past years." Taking the year all through it has been a fairly successful one for the trawlers, and in the autumn there Was an improvement in the supply of groper on the lining-grounds, and within the few Weeks some large catches have been made. During the year a fish-market has been established by the fishermen close to the fishermen's wharf. The building is leased to the fishermen by the Harbour Board at a nominal rent, and the fish, are sold by the fishermen direct to the public. The market has been a great success. It is well supported by the people of Timaru, who avail themselves of the opportunity of getting fish fresh from the boats at a reasonable price, while the fisherman gets a better price for his catch, as a good part of the profit usually made by the retail fish salesman now goes into the pocket of the man who catches the fish. Christchurch.— The local fishing-grounds have for a considerable time supplied only a very small proportion of the fish required for this market, the principal supply coming from the various fishingports outside the district —at certain seasons from as far south as Nugget Bay and north to Wellington. As is to bo expected, the supply coming forward is frequently insufficient, ahd, in the summer months at any rate, often not in the best condition. During the past year the, supply has been somewhat erratic : for some time there was a considerable scarcity, but lately a good supply has been coming forward. With the extensive fishing-grounds which exist in the Canterbury Bight and to the north of Akaroa there is no reason why the City of Christchuroh and district should not be well supplied with fresh fish from the local fishing-grounds. Having prospected these grounds, I am convinced that good-sized trawlers with insulated packing-chambers to store the fish should do well on the grounds I have mentioned, particularly to the south of the Akaroa Peninsula. Such vessels could stay out, several days at a time and land in port once or twice a week with a cargo of fish.

Kaikoura.- The usual market fish caught here have been plentiful throughout the year, and largo consignments have been sent to Wellington and Christchuroh markets, and in favourable weather landed in good condition. With, cool storage and ice-making plant and a better transport service the Kaikoura fishing-grounds could supply the markets of these two cities with a large and regular supply of the finest market fish. Fishermen could fish every day when the weather would let them, and with the certainty that, every fish they caught would arrive at the market in good condition and realize the highest market price. As things are at present they can only fish part of their time, and. it is only in the winter months that there is any certainty of their catches arriving at Wellington and Christchuroh in a marketable condition. Marlborough Sounds. —The output of fish during the year has been quite up to the average of other seasons. Unfavourable weather through the winter and spring interfered somewhat with fishingoperations, but when the weather was favourable good catches were made, particularly through the summer and autumn. The, principal fish sent to market are hapuku, blue cod, moki, tarakihi, warehou, herrings, and flounders. The launches trawling in Cloudy Bay have had a successful season. Nelson.- During the year the market has been well supplied with hapuku, hake, flounders, schnapper, butterfish, red cod, and gurnard. No exceptional catches have been reported, but a fairly regular supply has been maintained. Besides supplying the local market and inland districts, considerable quantities are shipped to the towns on the west coast as far south as Hokitika. Wellington— This season the catches of groper on the local grounds have been exceptionally good. The warehou season has also been an exceptionally good one. Fish salesmen say that for the quantity and quality of the fish it is one of the best warehou seasons they have known. The supply of other fish from, the local fishing-grounds has been about the average of other seasons. The Municipal Fish-market continues to be well patronized by the public. The quantity of fish passed through shows a considerable increase on the previous year. As in all cities, an occasional short supply of fish has to be experienced, but, taking the year through, the supply coming forward to the Wellington market has been well maintained. For some time during the year the steam trawlers " Nora Niven " and " Countess " worked on the trawling-grounds in Cook Strait and Palliser Bay. The " Nora Niven " worked for a time on the west coast north of Waitara, and was successful in getting good catches of fish, principally schnapper, tarakihi, gurnard, soles, and flounders. Napier. —Very fair hauls of fish were made by the trawlers on the Hawke's Bay trawling-grounds up to the end of the year ; since then the catches have been rather poor, and said to be considerably below the average of the two previous seasons for the same period. The two larger trawlers, the " Nora Niven " and " Countess," have, as usual, worked farther out in water from 20 to 40 fathoms, getting fair catches of round fish such as schnapper, kingfish, tarakihi, &o. Lately very good hauls are reported from the grounds to the north of the Mahia Peninsula and off Tolaga Bay. The catches by the seine-net fishermen have been about the average of other years. Auckland. —lnspector Bennett reports that the market has been generally well supplied with fish during the past year. Schnapper, he says, a.re decreasing in quantity on the old fishing-grounds near Auckland, but on the grounds farther out in the neighbourhood of the Barrier Islands, Mokohinou, and Hen and Chickens they are found in abundance. Hi reports that mullet are becoming scarcer every year, and recommends a close season extending over a number of years in the Hauraki Gulf. Flounders have been taken in fairly large quantities by net fishermen. Trevalli, tarakihi, john-dory, and hapuku are plentiful on the fishing-grounds in the Hauraki Gulf and on the outside grounds. The Hauraki Gulf and Great Barrier oyster-beds are in first-rate condition, and are being extended every year by the replanting areas which were depleted some years ago under the old system of licensed picking. Last picking season a total of 4,042 sacks were taken off these beds. Of these, 2,049 were taken from Waiheke Island, 791 from Ma.hurangi, 750 from Maeritai, 350 from Rangitoto, and 102 from Tiritiri Island. I made an inspection of the beds in Hauraki Gulf some time after the closing of the picking season, and I found that the beds had been left in a very satisfactory condition, and would all yield a good supply for the next season. The supply of first-class oysters available last season considerably exceeded the demand, for at the close of the season there was a considerable extent of the best beds in the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands which had not been touched and from which about 5,000 sacks could have been taken if required. This must be considered very satisfactory indeed, and proof that the Department's system of picking and protection has been a complete success. This opinion is endorsed by Professor Prince in his report. In speaking about our rock-oyster beds and system of picking he says, " I had every reason when visiting the northern oyster-beds to conclude that the system of Government supervision carried out in the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands has been the, best possible. It has saved these, beds from destruction, otherwise they would by this time have probably been entirely cleaned out. Two main objects have thus been accomplished- namely, the beds have not only been preserved, but rendered far more productive; and, secondly, the public have been able to obtain ample supplies at a reasonable rate." The beds which were replanted on the Coromandel coast and islands in the Thames Gulf are improving very satisfactorily. Young oysters are showing up along the foreshore wherever " plants " of brood oysters were made. This season some more replanting was done on several of the islands. Valuable work in extending the beds was also done on Pakihi Island and in Port Fitzroy Harbour, Great Barrier, by removing high-water rock down to the oyster-line and filling in bare, spaces between oyster-beds in the bays. Thames. —The Inspector reports that fish have been plentiful on the Thames fishing-grounds during the year, and good catches have been made. There are, forty launches and about ninety men employed catching fish. There are three fish-freezing works and cleaning and packing sheds. Most of the fish

17

H.—l6

is sent by rail to inland towns in the Waikato and through the King-country, and at certain seasons as far south as Wellington. Bay of Islands. —lnspector Stephenson reports that the principal market fish taken during the year were schnapper, mullet, flounders, garfish, kahawai, tarakihi, kingfish, and crayfish, all of which were on the whole found to be fairly plentiful; the catches being disposed of at Auckland and inland markets, and the prices obtained by fishermen is reported to have been satisfactory. There are two mullet-canneries in the district, one at Purei.ua and the other at Awanui. There were thirty-eight oases canned at the Purerua factory and 537 at Awanui, valued approximately at £1 per case. There are also sixteen smokehouses in all places smoking schnapper and mullet. These fish prepared in this way command a ready sale. The, number of fishing-boats registered at the Port of Russell for the year ended the 31st December, 1914, was sixty-seven, with crews totalling 161- -viz., 103 Europeans and 58 Natives. The whaling carried out by Messrs. Jagger and Cook on this coast has been considered fairly profitable, having captured fifty-seyen whales for the season, which yielded 270 tons of oil and 60 tons bonedust, the value of the oil being £4,590, and £360 for the bonedust. Oysters. -During last oyster season only a portion of both the middle and southern subdivisions were picked, giving an output of 4,278 sacks. The beds are looking very well indeed, oysters increasing and spreading in all directions. Kaipara. —Captain Savident, Harbourmaster and Inspector of Fisheries, reports that fish are plentiful and the fishermen have had a successful season. Mullet, schnapper, flounders, trevalli, and gurnard are the principal fish taken. The following are approximately the quantities of fish caught for the year"ended the 31st March: Mulled-Canned, 20,000 dozen; sold fresh, 35,000 dozen. Schnapper -Sold fresh, 8,000 dozen ; smoked, 5,000 dozen. Flounders, sold fresh, 20,000 dozen. Trevalli, sold fresh, 1,000 dozen. Gurnard, sold fresh, 200 dozen. Whitebait.- The following reports have been received with regard to the run of these fish in the principal whitebait rivers during the past year: Waikato River—The run has been better than the previous season. Ngaruroro and Tukituki (Hawke's Bay)—A fair run of whitebait, but on the whole rather below the average of other seasons. Buller River—Last whitebait season was good. Grey River—The run last season was rather poor. Hokitika River—A very fair season, rather above the average. Waimakariri, Styx, and Avon-—The last whitebait season was a very good one. Some record catches were made in the Waimakariri and Styx. Quinnat Salmon. —A succession of floods in the Hakataramea River during the month of May, 1914, interfered seriously with, the collection of salmon-eggs. The nets were washed out several times, and most of the salmon escaped up-stream and spawned in reaches of the river in the gorge. The manager at Hakataramea reports a heavier run of fish than the previous season, but owing to the unfavourable river-conditions the number of eggs collected was less. On account of the large number of salmon which escaped up the Hakataramea during the floods the river was heavily stocked with the salmon-fry hatched from the natural spawning. In the late summer and autumn thousands of fine strong healthy fish were to be seen in every pool. The total number of eggs collected for the season was 234,000, which, were disposed of as follows : 25,000 were supplied to the Tasmanian Government; 145,000 were sent to the West-Coast for stocking the Hokitika River; 53,000 were hatched out at Hakataramea. The loss during the incubation and hatching of the eggs was 11,000. During the year 41,000 three-months-old fry, 19,254 yearling salmon, 680 two-years-old and 36 three-years-old fish were liberated from the stations. The number of salmon in the ponds on the 31st March was as follows : 19,929 ten-months-old fish, 598 one year and ten months old, 100 two years old, and 35 three years old. During the angling season it was reported that salmon were caught with rod and line at the mouth of the Waitaki and Rangitata Rivers, and also that they were frequently taken with, hook and line off Timaru and Oamaru by persons fishing for sea-fish. The run of spawning salmon during the present season (1915) in the headwaters of some of the main tributaries of the Waitaki is undoubtedly the heaviest since the fish first commenced to run up from the sea. When recently in the Upper Waitaki district I was told by men who have lived for a number of years near the rivers and lakes in that region, and who are in the habit of observing the spawning every season, that there are more salmon and larger fish than any previous season. Mr. Macdonald, manager of Ben Ohau Station, said that for some years he had watched the salmon spawning in the Ohau River, and this year from its outflow from the' lake to its junction with the Waitaki River (a distance of about eighteen miles) he had never seen so many fish. When I arrived at Benmore Station after leaving the Ben Ohau Camp on the 18th, Mr. Sutherland (manager) told me his head shepherd and musterers had returned a few days before from the head of the lake and reported hundreds of large salmon spawning in the Dobson River, so I went on to the head of the lake the same afternoon to see for myself, and ascertain whether it would be possible to get any eggs. Mr. Fraser, the shepherd in charge there, provided me with a riding-horse and accompanied me to the Dobson the following morning. We examined the river from its junction with the Hopkins to where the camp joins it, a distance of about eight miles. The statement of the Benmore shepherds with regard to the fish I found to be practically correct. We saw a number of large fish in every pool—we counted as many as fifteen in one—and large spawning-beds every chain or so as far as we went. From the appearance of the fish, the number of spawning-beds, and the number of dead fish on the. shingle beaches it was evident that the spawning was about finished for this season. We saw some very large fish : two spent dead fish measured 42 in. and 42$ in., and I estimate, the average size of the fish we saw at from 201b. to 25 Ib. I may say that I inspected the Dobson

at the end of the spawning season of 1911 ; then I saw from thirty to fifty fish and a number of spawning-beds. This season I estimate there are well on to ten times as many, and much larger fish. Collection of Brown-trout Eggs. —The condition of the rivers last season was unusually favourable for netting spawning-trout, and there was no difficulty in collecting all the eggs required to supply acclimatization societies. As a matter of fact, two or three million eggs could have been collected if they were required. The total number of eggs collected was a little over a million. Of this number, 930,000 eyed and fry were supplied to acclimatization societies, and the balance of the fry hatched were liberated in the Hakataramea River. I have, &c, L. F. Ayson, The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Fisheries.

Report op Curator, Portobello Marine Ftsh-hatchery. Gentlemen, — Portobello, 7th June, 1915. I have the honour to present this (the ninth) annual report of operations at the Marine Fishhatchery during the year ended the 31st March, 1915. Lobsters. —Of the new stock of lobsters, forty-one in number, which arrived in March, 1913, two deaths occurred during 1913, and one, a male, had died during the past year. Two deaths have also occurred amongst the survivors of the earlier shipments. As already reported, twelve, of which eight were egg-bearing females, have also been liberated in what is considered to be a suitable locality. This leaves the present stock of lobsters of both sexes in the ponds at forty-four. Eighteen females of the new shipment spawned during January and February, 1914. On examination as late as October these new-stock lobsters were found to have retained their eggs much better than those that have been confined to the ponds for a number of years, and most of them still retained their full broods. As all the indoor tanks are now in use for the turbot, we were unable to make use of these for the hatching-out of the young lobsters. The adults were therefore allowed to hatch their broods in the large, pond, as was done the previous year. The first larvae appeared in the pond on the 15th December, 1914, and from this date until early in January vast numbers were to be seen at all depths in the large pond. Owing to theincreased number of spawners, and to the fact that the adults were not handled, the past season has been a record one for the output of young lobsters, the number being estimated at ninety thousand. Many of the females have again spawned, and there is every probability of the coming season being an equally successful one. Grabs. —-As reported last year, nineteen of the adult crabs were liberated, and eight (four males and four females) were retained in the ponds ; of these, two males died in January, 1914. The four remaining females produced full batches of eggs in the spring. On the 14th December the surface of the pond was seen to be teeming with crab larvso. The four egg-bearing crabs were transferred to the hatching-boxes on the 16th December, and between this date and the 23rd December twelve million larvse were hatched and liberated in various parts of the harbour, chiefly on the ebb tide. A constant lookout is being kept for the appearance of the young stages on the banks in the harbour and amongst the stomach-contents of all fishes examined. Turbot. —None of the turbot died during 1913. Three have died during the past year. These three deaths occurred amongst the smallest of the stock, and in all cases were the ones that have shown the least growth or development. The cause of death was not apparent. The remaining stock are all in good condition. The largest now measure about 16 in. in length. Ling has again been used solely as food, and has proved most satisfactory. There are as yet no visible signs of the development of the ovaries, but there is every reason to hope that some of the larger ones will spawn during the coming season. Owing to the great increase in their size, further accommodation is being provided for them inside the hatchery, in the shape of a large concrete tank measuring 15 ft. by 5 ft. 6 in. wide. Observations on Local Fish. —The exceptionally stormy weather experienced during the greater part of the summer interfered very considerably with this important branch of the station's functions. The launch is not sufficiently seaworthy to proceed any distance off the land excepting during the finest weather. No opportunity has, however, been lost of adding to our store of knowledge, and records of all observations have, as usual, been placed in tabulated form in a log kept for this purpose. These observations have now been carried on for a period of about ten years, and although, for various reasons, these notes are not so copious and extensive as one could desire, many valuable, interesting, and hitherto unknown facts relating to the life-history, &c, of many of our indigenous fishes have been light. A report on these observations, with drawings, &c, is in course of preparation by the Chairman, Mr. G. M. Thomson, and myself. The Board is again indebted to Mr. F. J. Sullivan in allowing me to accompany his trawlers for the purpose of securing the ova of any of the fishes taken in the trawl. From eggs collected by this means 88,000 young flounders and 322,000 young soles have been hatched and the fry liberated. I have, &c, T. Anderton.
