Secretary of Marine to Hon. the Minister of Marine. Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department, Sir,— . Wellington, 15th June, 1919. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March last. Head Office. As the officers who have been away on active service during the war are now returning and resuming their duties, the difficulty which has been experienced during their absence is disappearing and matters are becoming normal. Mercantile Marine Offices. The work of "these offices has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner, and the Superintendents and their staff are deserving of commendation for the way in which they have carried out both their ordinary duties and special duties which have been placed upon them in consequence of the war. After the signing of the Armistice the military non-commissioned officers who were placed in the mercantile marine offices to examine the military papers of seamen were withdrawn. Owing to the increase in the work of procuring seamen at Wellington it is necessary that an Assistant Inspector of Seamen should be appointed at that port, and steps are now being taken to make the necessary appointment. During the year Captain A. Barr, Inspector at Wellington, left the service to better himself, and Captain W. F. Clark was appointed to fill the vacancy. The Department has had to withhold the discharges of a good, many seamen who have deserted from or failed to join their ships. Appended is a statement showing the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the various ports during the, year, and the fees received for engagements and discharges. The number engaged was 20,459, and the number discharged 19,663. The fees received amounted to £2,463 Is. 6d. During the previous year the engagements were 18,577 and the discharges 17.872, the amount of fees being £2,122 Is. 6d.' The transactions at the principal ports were— Engagements. Discharges. Fees. £ s. d. Auckland .. .. .. .. 6,573 6,417 870 10 0 Wellington. .. ..

Proceedings were taken against H. J. Mctcalf for altering his discharge. He was convicted and fined £2 and costs. Appended is a statement showing the amounts paid under the provisions of section 6 of the Shipping and Seamen Amendment Act, 1911, to sick and injured seamen. The total is £16,617 Bs. 9d., as compared with £7,832 16s. 4d. last year. The increase is mainly due to the influenza epidemic. Masters, Mates, and Engineers. During the year 307 candidates passed their examinations and 84 failed. Of those who passed 139 were masters, mates, and engineers of sea-going ships, 3 were masters of fishing-boats or caigcboats under 25 tons, 2 were passes in the compass syllabus, 24 were masters and engineers of steamers plying within restricted limits, 2 were marine-engine drivers, 38 were engineers of sea-going motorpropelled boats, and 99 were engineers of such boats plying within restricted limits. The difficulty of getting properly certificated second mates for sailing and auxiliary-powered ships still continues, and there does not appear to be much prospect of an improvement in the near future. There has also been some difficulty in getting certificated men for small launches, but I think this will disappear as the men. from the front resume their civil occupations. The new regulations for the examination of masters and mates are now in operation. The examinations are carried out in Auckland by Captain Dykes, the Examiner who is stationed there ; at Wellington by Captain Blackburne, the Chief Examiner, and Captain Whiteford ; and at Lyttelton and Dunedin by Captain Whiteford, who visits those places for the purpose. The following is the report of Captain H. S. Blackburne, Chief Examiner of Masters and Mates :— "The work, as usual; has been carried out by the Examiners at the four principal ports in a satisfactory manner. " All examination-rooms (including those at Napier and Gisborne, where very occasionally the master of a river steamer is examined by the Harbourmasters of those ports) have recently been inspected. " New regulations for examination of masters and mates were brought into force on the Ist October, 1918. Several new subjects were brought into the examination for foreign-going candidates of all grades, beginning with some knowledge of elementary plane trigonometry for second mates ; also, in the higher grades, meteorology, ship-building, elementary science, stability, and essay-writing on some technical subject,

"As the mark system, with a very liberal allowance for mistakes, has been adopted with the new work, there'are now, as was expected, far fewer failures than under the old plan of carrying out the examinations. For the foreign-going candidates the percentage of passes so far has been 76 per cent., against only 44 per cent, oi passes for those who presented themselves for examination during the first half of the year under the old system of examination. " There have, however, been fewer candidates for examination ; so far no candidates have presented, themselves for examination for a foreign-going certificate at either Lyttelton or Dunedin, only three in Auckland, and seventeen in Wellington. Now, however, that candidates have had time to find out about and to study the new subjects they are beginning to come up more freely ; six out of seventeen in Wellington having presented themselves for examination in May of this year. " Under the new regulations examinations are held once a month instead of. every week for foreign-going candidates, and fortnightly for the home-trade, river-steamer, and fishing-boat masters. " Captain Whiteford, who went to England to study the new methods and system of examination, has since his return devoted most of his time to examination work, and it has been arranged for him to conduct the examinations in future at Lyttelton and Dunedin, as well as in. Wellington. Captain Dykes will still conduct the examinations in Auckland. The home-trade and other local examinations have also been brought under the mark system, and a little more practical knowledge in connection with the navigation of ships is now required of candidates for home-trade certificates. " A first mate is required to have some knowledge of the use of a station pointer, to set a compass course to counteract the effect of a current, to correct a sounding taken by the lead-line for the state of the tide, and to be able to observe an altitude with the sextant, and read the angle either " on " or " off " the arc. " A master is required to be able to correct his compass by an amplitude of the sun with the aid of an amplitude table, and also by the aid of star inspection azimuth and reduction tables ; to be able to correct the compass error and find the position of ship by one ex-meridian star combined with a bearing of the land, or by two ex-meridian stars within the limits of of the best star reduction and azimuth tables. " Candidates now usually pass very well in the speed test for Morse and semaphore signalling, which was made compulsory in our examinations in September, 1917. "No candidate has passed for extra master during the last year. Two candidates passed for the voluntary compass syllabus examination. " The time service required for second mate, home trade, has been reduced from four to three years, but so far no candidate has presented himself for examination, notwithstanding that there has been a great difficulty in obtaining second mates for the ships which arc required by law to carry them. Probably the reason is that the A.B.s frequently earn more money than the second mates without any responsibility." A statement showing the names of persons to whom certificates of competency have been issued during the year, and the grades of the certificates granted, is appended. Registration of Shipping. Returns are appended showing the vessels registered in the Dominion on the 31st December last. There were then on the register 178 sailing-vessels of 23,158 tons register, and 379 steamers of 65,388 tons register. At the end of the previous year there were 184 sailing-vessels of 22,404 tons, and 376 steamers of 65,092 tons. The number of seamen and boys employed on board was 3,395, as compared with 3,562 at the end of 1917. Survey of Ships. Certificates have been granted to 286 steamers, 476 oil-engine vessels, and 61 sailing-vessels,- as compared with 246 steamers, 404 oil-engine vessels, and 66 sailing-vessels in the previous year. The alterations and repairs carried out to the vessels are described in the appended report of the Chief Surveyor. Frequent inspections of cargo gear are made by Surveyors appointed for the purpose at Auckland and Wellington, and by the ordinary Surveyors at Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Port Chalmers. As a result of the Commission which was set up last year to inquire and report as to the action necessary to prevent accidents to waterside workers, regulations have been made providing, among other things, for the inspection by Inspectors of Machinery of all machinery, as distinguished from running-gear, used for loading and discharging cargo ; for the. inspection by Surveyors of Ships of all running-gear and all subsidiary appliances, whether used in ships or not, used for shipping or discharging cargo, including coal ; for the inspection of every winch used on a ship for working cargo ; and for seeing that proper and efficient bridles are provided for secure attachment to the ends of the fore-and-aft hatch-beams, so that they may be shipped and unshipped without danger to the men who are doing the work. Attached is a return of the vessels to which certificates have been issued. Proceedings were taken by the Department for breaches of the law in connection with the survey of ships as follows: The master of the s.s. " Mana," for having the load-line submerged—fined £5 and costs ; the master of the s.s. " Waipori," for breach of regulations for prevention of accidents— convicted and ordered to pay costs;' F. Lane, owner of a launch, for running boat without lightsfined 10s. and costs ; W. C. Wright, owner of a launch, for running without survey certificate—fined £1 and costs; W. Clark, owner of a launch, for running without survey certificate—fined £1 and costs ; master of " Indianic," for breach of regulations for protection of life on ship—fined £5 and costs ; E. Ogle, owner of a launch, for running without lights—fined 10s. and costs ; master of launch " Almora," for carrying more passengers than allowed by certificate—convicted and ordered to pay costs ; master of launch " Flirt," for carrying more passengers than allowed by certificate—convicted and ordered to pay costs ; master of launch " Sea Queen," for running without certificate—fined £2

and costs ; master of s.s. " Condor," for carrying too many passengers- -fined £3 and costs ; another master of this vessel was prosecuted for similar offence later, when case was dismissed ; R. G. Cochrane, B. Andrews, and W. Coxhead, for running launches without lights —convicted and ordered to pay costs. Waterside Work Regulations. In addition to the regulations regarding the duties of Inspectors of Machinery and Surveyors of Ships referred to under " Survey of Ships," the regulations which have been made regarding waterside work provide that when a ship is in dock or on a, slip the propeller is not to be turned until men working on planks or on the ship are clear of it; that when the boilers are being cleaned the stopvalve of the working boiler is to be locked while the work is being carried out; that the temperature of the boilers is not to exceed 100° Fahrenheit while men are employed in them ; that deck cargo on lighters is only to be carried in such quantity and positions as approved by a Surveyor ; that lighters and launches and steam or motor boats employed in roadsteads are to carry specified life-saving appliances ; that stages on which coal is discharged in baskets from a ship by means of a bull-rope are to be not less than 3 ft. 6 in. wide, and are to be properly supported ; that a T iron used for working a bull-rope is to be securely bolted to the hatch coaming and to be not less than 3 in. in diameter; that proper bridles are to be used for shipping and unshipping thwartship hatch-beams ; that wooden fore-and-aft hatch-beams are to be shod with iron ; that hooks for attaching to coal baskets and slings are to be approved by the Marine Department; that rope-manufacturers in New Zealand are to attach to each coil a certificate showing the breaking-strain ; that no load of a greater weight is to be put on any chain or rope than the weight given as a safe working-load in tables issued by the Marine Department ; that when cargo is worked at night electric light is to be used when available ; that when a vessel is in dock a proper and. securely fixed gangway-plank from the ship to the dock-head is to be provided ; that when men are working on stages outside a ship in dock or on a slip all latrines are to be kept kicked and discharge-pipes closed ; that when cargo is being shipped on or discharged from lighters sufficient spjace is to bo left below for the convenience of the men engaged on the work ; that a Surveyor or other duly appointed officer is to decide as to the number of gangs of men that should work in a hold in the event of a dispute arising ; that on complaint being made a Surveyor or other officer appointed for the purpose is to decide whether a man, through being under the influence of liquor, is unfit to work cargo, and if he is satisfied he is unfit he may prohibit his working ; that bunkers in which coal is being worked are to be lighted, by electricity if it is available ; that when coal is being discharged by means of trams stout planks are to be fixed alongside the tram-line; that on all ships registered in New Zealand hatch landings on coamings or beams are, after the ship's next annual overhaul which takes place after the expiration of six months from the date of the regulations, to be not less than 2| in. in width ; that on complaint of a person working cargo a Port Health Officer or other officer appointed for the purpose is to examine the sanitary condition of the hold and to see that the condition is remedied if necessary ; that a Surveyor or other officer appointed for the purpose may stop chipping being done on. the ship if satisfied that the safety of those working cargo requires it; that when persons are working on the outside of a ship the master is to keep a man on deck to prevent interference with ropes fastened to the deck, and to prevent anything being thrown overboard that might injure the persons so working ; and that when any obstruction prevents the person working the bull-rope being clearly seen by the winchman, the master is to employ an additional man to communicate, signals from the winchman to the bull-rope man. In order to see that these regulations are properly carried out it will be necessary to employ additional Surveyors of Ships, and the necessary steps are now being taken to appoint the officers required. Deceased Seamen's Estates. The estates of ninety-four seamen have been dealt with during the year. The amount received on account of them was £1,499 12s. 2d., and the amount paid to relatives and other claimants £624 Is. 2d. Last year's number of estates is larger than usual. This is mainly owing to the deaths which occurred during the influenza epidemic. Appended is a statement of the estates. Wrecks and Casualties. During the year sixty inquiries were held, fifty-three of them being preliminary inquiries and seven Magisterial. The appended return shows the casualties and an analysis thereof. Those on or near the coasts of the Dominion were fifty-six, of 28,659 tons register, as compared with seventy-one, of 39,864 tons, in the previous year. The number of lives lost was thirty-six, as compared with one in the previous year. Twenty-six were lost from the " Wimmera " when she was blown up by a German mine near the North Cape on the 26th June, 1918 ; two were lost from the oil-engine vessel " Mahoe " when she capsized in attempting to enter the Waitara River ; and eight from the barque " Aryan." The last-named vessel was on her way from Wellington to San Francisco, and when some distance off the Chatham Islands a fire was discovered, in the flax cargo which the master, officers, and crew were unable to extinguish. The vessel had to be abandoned, and tin! three boats made for the Chatham Islands. Two of them reached there, but the third, which was in charge of the chief officer and contained seven other members of the crew, has not been heard of since the other boats lost sight of her. Notices to Mariners. A return of the Notices to Mariners relating to New Zealand matters is appended. In addition to being published in the Gazette, these notices are circulated to the various ports in the Dominion and to marine authorities outside New Zealand, so that mariners may be advised (if their contents. A good many notices which have been received from other countries have also been published by the Department.

Government Steamers. The " Hinemoa " has been overhauled during the year, and, considering her age, is in good condition. She has been employed on her usual work of taking oil, gas, coal, stores, and provisions to lighthouses, and in shifting lightkeepors and their families from one station to another when transfers have been made. She has also carried on the work of overhauling, cleaning, and painting coastal and harbour buoys and beacons, and has made two trips to the Chatham Islands, one to take down stores for the settlers and to bring produce back, and. the other to search for the missing boat from the barque " Aryan " and to bring up the master, officers, and the members of the crew who had landed on the islands. The whole of the work, much of which is of a very risky nature, has been carried out in a very satisfactory manner. S.s. Li Amokura "--This vessel is still being used: as a training-ship for boys, but she has not been to sea during the past season, as when she was stripped for some repairs it was found, that her condition was such that it would cost a large sum of money to carry out the work necessary to put her in a good seaworthy condition, and if it had been done, owing to her age further repairs would no doubt be required in. the near future. Under these circumstances it was decided to endeavour to obtain another vessel, and the- Imperial Government was asked whether it could let the Dominion have one. The request was agreed to, and in order that there may be no doubt that the vessel to be obtained will be suitable for the purpose required Captain G. Hooper, who has been in command of the " Amokura " during the time she has been used as a training-ship, has been sent to England to select the most suitable vessel from those available. There has been no difficulty in getting sufficient boys during the year, and there are still a few applicants waiting for admission when there are vacancies for them. The usual technical-school classes in. connection with the ship were carried on during the winter, and as the vessel did not go to sea during the summer the classes were continued in. a modified form during that season. The general behaviour of the boys has been good. There ha.s been no difficulty in obtaining employment for them in other ships on completion of their training on the " Amokura." The necessary material and appliances for installing wireless on the vessel have been obtained, but as another vessel is to be procured it is not at present proposed to instal it. During the year the vessel visited the Southern Islands and the Kermadec Islands to search for castaways and to attend to the provision-depots which are maintained there. Appended is a return of the boys who have served in the vessel during the year. S.s. " Rama." —This vessel has been lent to the Commonwealth Government for service connected with the war. S.s. " TutaneJcai."- Reports have been obtained in regard to the cost of altering this vessel to make her fit for cargo-carrying. The necessary alterations were carried out to make her fit for mine-sweeping, but when the work was completed a crew could not be obtained, and therefore tin; vessel was not used. In May, 1918, the vessel made a trip to Macquarie Island, under charter to the Southern Isles Exploitation Company (Limited),'to bring up men and oil, as no other vessel was obtainable. She brought up the men, but owing to bad weather she was only able to ship a small portion of the oil. In August, 1918, she made a trip to the Chatham Islands under charter to the Chatham Islands Fishing Company, to bring up fish, as the company could not obtain another vessel after the " Himitangi " was wrecked, and in November she was got ready and equipped to carry mails between Wellington and Lyttelton during the epidemic if other vessels should be prevented from running, but it was not found necessary to use her for this purpose. Lighthouses. The erection of the tower for a new light on Flat Rock in the Hauraki Gulf! has been completed, and the light has been installed and exhibited. An Aga automatic light has been ordered for erection on the Ninepins, off the Chetwode Islands, and the necessary steps are being taken to procure the required tower. This light will be of considerable value to vessels in the Wellington-Pic ton-Nelson trade. The Department has been urged to erect a light on Old M!an Rock, inside Mercury Island, for the benefit of vessels trading between Auckland and places in the Bay of Plenty. A light in this neighbourhood would be of considerable value to vessels in this trade. Captain Bollons, who has examined the rock referred to, states that it is not suitable owing to its steepness, but that a suitable site can be got on Ohena Islet, which is not far from the Old Man Rock, and it is proposed to make provision on the estimates for the cost of a light. The erection of a new tower for Dog Island light has been completed and two new houses for the keepers have been erected at Tiritiri. New revolving cowls have been fitted to the towers at Akaroa Head, Portland Island, Mooraki, and Cape Foulwind. Jack's Point machine has been overhauled and the burner altered to give additional support to the mantles. A new crane has been procured for Cuvior Island, and it will be erected shortly. A now crane is to be erected at Stephen Island as soon as arrangements can be made to do the work. New stables have been erected at Akaroa Head. An incandescent light has been installed at Portland Island. Repairs have been carried out to the boat-skids at the French Pass. New verandas have been built on two of the houses at Moko Hinou ; this work was carried out by the keepers. During the year one lightkeeper was transferred to another Department, the appointment of one was not confirmed, one was dismissed for going to sleep on watch, one died, and one resigned. Ten new permanent appointments were made. Owing to the war there has been considerable difficulty in keeping the lighthouses properly staffed. Temporary keepers have had to be employed at a good many stations, which is not conducive to efficiency. As the war is now over we should soon be able to get sufficient permanent keepers to fill up the vacancies.

Captain J. Bullous, master of the s.s. " Hinemcm," who is also Inspector of Lighthouses, has inspected and reported on the various stations. I desire to place on record the great assistance I have at all times received from him in regard to lighthouse matters. The following lightkeepers volunteered early in the war ami have I a <>n service at the front, viz., V. 11. Rees, J. P. Smith, F. Sharrock, J. Robertson, I'. ('. T. Burns. Mr. Smith was invalided home after being wounded, and resumed duty in the. lighthouse service. Keeper C. W. Davis also volunteered, but proved to be medically unlit for active service. Before the end of the war the Department had to appeal for the keepers who were called up for military service on account of the lighthouse stall' becoming depleted, and in all cases the appeals were adjourned sine (lie so that the men might remain and carry on their lighthouse duties. Appended is a. report by the Marine Engineer on the works dealt with by him during the year. The amount of light dues collected was £24,721 ss. 9d., as compared with £28,141 4s. lid. during the previous year. Appended is a. return showing the amount collected at each port.. The amount collected during the year ended 31st March. 1911, was £11,745 I2s. Id., and had it not been for the war there is no doubt that last year's amount would have, been larger than that. In addition to there being a decrease on account of the deerea.se in shipping, there has been a further loss in consequence of dues not being payable on Government transports and chartered ships. Now the war is over the amount collected will no doubt soon come back to. if not exceed, what it was before the war. Harbours. This Department has the control of harbours for which Harbour Boards have, not been constituted, and the buoys and beacons at these places have been overhauled, cleaned, and painted under the direction of Captain Bullous, of the s.s. " llinemoa." He has also attended to the coastal buoys and beacons during the vessel's periodical lighthouse trips. The beacon on D'Urville Rock, in the Hauraki Gulf, was washed away during a heavy gale, and, as it was found impossible to obtain a foundation for another beacon, a. buoy has been laid down near the rook to mark its position. A beacon has been erected on the Brothers Rock, in the Bay of Islands. The Waikato River Board having constructed groynes in the Waikato River which proved to be injurious to navigation, the Board was called upon by the Department to remove a portion of them, but as it failed to do so legal proceedings have had to be taken against it for its failure. A large number of plans of harbour-works, including wharves proposed to be constructed, has been submitted to and dealt with by the Department. Those which met the Department's requirements were approved by the Governor-General in Council in accordance with the provisions of the Harbours Act, 1908. A return of the Orders in Council giving the necessary approval is appended. The sum of £982 ss. 7<l. was collected for pilotage and port, charges in respect of harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £907 3s. Id. in the previous year. A return of the amounts collected at the various ports, including the amounts collected at ports under the control of Harbour Boards, is appended. Cook Strait Currents. During the year the Department had twenty-five disc floats made for the purpose of ascertaining the probable drift of any mines that might break away from the minefield laid by the German raider " Wolf "in the vicinity of Cape Farewell. These floats were put into the sea by the Union Steamship Company's steamers " Kamo," " Komata," " Kamona," " Kittawa," and " Kaituna," without any expense to the Department. Of those found, two came ashore near Farewell Spit Lighthouse, two at Pukerua, one on Kapiti Island, one at Paekakariki, one at Waikanae, one at Manakau, one at Levin, one at Ohau, one at Otaki, two near Rangitikei, one at Waitara, and three near Awakino. Fisheries. The Department continued the picking and sale of oysters last season that is, between the Ist May and the 31st October. The quantity taken was 10,422 sacks, of which 10,393 sacks were sold and 29 were donated to soldiers' hospitals. Of the quantity sold, 1,191 sacks were sold in 10,114 parcels containing 4$ dozen each at, Is. a parcel, and in 2,965 parcels containing from 16 to 17 dozen each at 3s. 6d. a parcel, yielding £191 lis. 6d. more than would have been received if they had been sold by the sack, besides giving people an opportunity of getting oysters in small quantities as they required them. Of the quantity sold by the sack 300 sacks were disposed of at Russell, 7,720 at Auckland, 582 at Gisborne, 142 at Napier, 360 at New Plymouth, II at Wanganui, 37 at Wellington, 6at Christchurch, 26 at Westport, 9at Greymouth, and 2at Hokitika. The amount realized from the sale was £7,516 13s. 6d., which gave a net profit of £694 4s. Bd. A good deal of replanting of oysters has been done on depleted areas where overpicking destroyed the beds before the Department took over the picking and sale, and in view of the increasing demand for oysters I think that more replanting should be done in future. Owing to the very large demand this season, and to the poor spawning during the last lew years, it appears probable that the season will have to be closed earlier than usual. The oysters taken in Foveaux Strait last season were 1,500,420 dozen, valued at £12,503, of which 112,806 dozen, valued at £1,114, were exported to Australia. These oysters are taken by private persons by dredging, and, as showing the increased price which consumers have to pay, I may mention that in 1917 the price per sack put on the train at the Bluff was Bs., in 1918 10s., and in 1919 13s. 6d. ; whereas in the case of the northern oysters, which are picked and sold by the Department, there has only been an increase of 6d. per sack in the price at which they are sold at the depot in Auckland since the beginning of the war.

During the year the Department obtained eighty sacks of Foveaux Strait oysters and planted them in Cook Strait in a place believed to be suitable for them to live and propagate. Arrangements were made last year for the collection of a large quantity of quinnat salmon ova, in order that the stocking of Hokitika, Clutha, and Wairau Rivers might be continued, but unfortunately the number of fish that came up the rivers was so small that only 77,000 ova were obtained. The fry hatched from these were liberated in the Hakataramca River. This year again very few fish are coming up the rivers. This, however, is not an indication that they will not come back in large numbers in the future, as it has been found that after lean years in America the salmon come batik in immense numbers. In connection with trawling in the Hauraki Gulf, where there are several trawlers at work, the Department has frequently been urged to reduce the area within which trawling is prohibited, but the line fishermen have always strongly opposed any reduction on the ground that it would interfere with their fishing and with the breeding-grounds of the fish, in order that this matter, and also the question as to whether the price charged for fish to the public in Auckland is reasonable ; as to whether any limit has boon imposed on fishermen in regard to their catches ; as to whether it is possible to avoid taking fish befow the prescribed size, and, if not, whether the size of mesh of nets should bo increased, might be determined, the Governor-General in Council, in exercise of the power given by the Cost of Living Act, 1915, authorized the Board of Trade to inquire into and report on the questions referred to, and at the same time empowered it to delegate its functions in the matter to Messrs. E. C. Cutten, Stipendiary Magistrate, J. H. Bradney, and T. Long. Full inquiry was made, a good deal of evidence being taken, and a, report, containing valuable recommendations, has been received. The report is now under consideration, and a copy will be presented to Parliament. A report by Mr. L. F. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, and a return of registered fishing-boats licensed at the various ports during the year ended the 31st December, 1918, are appended. The following' proceedings have been taken for breaches of the Fisheries Act : Messrs. P. Doolan and Joseph Wren, for illegally taking oysters, each fined 10s'. and costs ; Messrs. 1). Livingston and J. W. Noble, Mrs. W. Dumper and Miss 0. Carlyon, for illegally taking oysters, each fined £1 and costs ; Messrs. C. Fosberg, J. Thompson, 0. Fleming, and Miss M. Brighouse, for illegally taking oysters, each fined £1 10s. and costs ; R. Donaldson and Miss A. Fuller, for illegally taking oysters, each fined £3 and costs ; S. Reeve, for illegally taking whitebait, fined £3 and costs ; A. Russo, for trawling in prohibited area, fined £1 and costs; D. Cincotta, for similar offence, similarly fined; R. Todd, for having undersized flounders in his possession, fined £1 and costs ; and James Dobeck and David Dobeck, for similar offence, each fined £1 and costs. Meteorological and Weather Office. Owing to the war the Department has not been able to do much in the way of extending the work of the Meteorological and Weather Office during the last few years, but now the war is over there are various questions in regard to extension that should be considered. One of the most important is as to whether the office should undertake the duty of issuing flood warnings in the case of the rivers of the Dominion. The French Government has arranged for a Meteorological Conference which is to be opened in Paris on the 30th September next, and has invited countries which have organized meteorological services to send representatives. It has been decided that Mr. Bates, the Government Meteorologist, is to represent New Zealand, but before going to Paris he will go to London to attend a preliminary conference of British representatives which the Imperial Government desires should be held on the 23rd September. The following is the report of Mr. Bates on the work of his office during the, past year : — " The work of the Weather Bureau, which concerns the reporting and forecasting of the daily weather, and that of the Meteorological Office, relating to climate— particularly rainfall, temperature, &c—has passed through a trying period during the past year. Some of our observers have been absent at the front, and some will not return ; while others, through shortage of labour in the country, have had difficulty in keeping their records without breaking their continuity. Nearly all our observers perform, their services quite voluntarily, and the country really owes them a debt of gratitude for complete records, which have proved on occasions of inestimable value; In the future, when science has harnessed our water-power, and when aerial navigation is organized for defence and transport, commerce and pleasure, their value will bo greatly enhanced. I desire to recommend that a small honorarium be paid to those to whom it may be acceptable, as a small recognition of work done. " The Telegraph service, upon which we have so largely to depend, has never failed us, although during the war period it has passed through some strenuous times on account of shortage of staff and extra duties imposed upon it. " On my annual leave I made a private visit to Australia, and took the opportunity of seeing what work was done in aviation and upper-air investigation. I reported to the Defence Department upon the subject. I was, however, unfortunately detained for two months on account of shipping trouble which arose out of the influenza epidemic in New Zealand. During this time my assistant, Mr. B. V. Pemborton, and Mr. W. Goudie, who fortunately escaped the disease, carried on the work in the most praiseworthy manner under great difficulties. " While inspecting the southern stations, after an absence of some years, I visited Gore and reported to you upon the Mataura River floods. I also witnessed a flood there, and a snowstorm in Canterbury on ray return journey. " Inspection of stations, which has unfortunately been curtailed during the war, was seen to be even more necessary than usual. Many new instruments, recently unobtainable, are now required, and I hope to obtain these from stocks used in the war but now released and offered to us at reduced prices. Amongst these instruments will be an anemometer to record the force and direction of every

gust of wind at Auckland. There has been a difficulty about a site, in the Albert Park, to which it was at first proposed to move the pressure-tube anemometer from. Mount Etako Wireless Station, Wellington. During some repairs to the roof part of the apparatus was carried away and injured, and it has not been in use pending a decision as to the Auckland anemometer, which may now be secured. " My plans for developing district weather-reporting in conjunction with the Post and Telegraph Department have received approval from those upon whose co-operation we rely, and will, I trust, be carried out in the New Year. It is also proposed to train observers in elementary meteorology so that reports may be more trustworthy. " The, conferences of scientific meteorologists from British and Allied countries are to take place in September in London and Paris. The aim is to secure the advances made during the war in meteorology at the cost of so much effort and valuable life.- Never in the world has weather been so closely and scientifically studied as at the western front, where its influence was most pronounced in the fortunes of the war. It is now seen that the world's weather must be studied on a larger scale than hitherto, and wider co-operation provided for. There must also be a standardization of instruments and uniformity of method in. observations. Systems of weather warnings must also be adopted such as can be understood in every country. We, for instance, have storm signals of our own, different from other.countries, and it is desirable that we should have only one system at least in the British Empire. Again, we use the inch scale in rainfall, and for our barometers the inch and tenth, whereas Great Britain has adopted the millibar. Until this system, however, is more widely recognized, or receives the sanction of a conference, we have not deemed, it advisable to adopt it in this Dominion. 1 have reported to the Air Force Adviser, Colonel Bettington, C.M.G., as to the New Zealand climate, with a view to aviation. I have also considered with him the improvements which must necessarily be adopted when aviation comes. These improvements will involve an increase of our scientific or professional staff, and closer and more regular observations of atmospheric conditions, so that we may be able to give more detailed and frequent weather forecasts. " During hostilities all weather reports from ships have been suspended, but experience proves that they must not be again undertaken without regular inspection of instruments on the ships, and. proper understandings with officers reporting ocean weather. The equipment of the radio-stations at Awanui and Awarua with meteorological instruments is also proposed, and good results may be expected from a trained staff continuously on duty."

I have, &c, George Allport, Secretary. The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington.

The Chief Inspector of Fishrrier to the Secretary, Marine Department, g IE ,_- Wellington, 10th July, 1919. I have the honour to present the following report on the fisheries for the year ended 31st March, 1919. The following fishing-grounds and fishing-ports were visited by me during the yea-r, viz. : Kaipara, Whangarei, Bay of Islands, Whangaruru, Great Barrier, Hauraki Gulf (including Thames and Coromandel), Tlawkc's Bay, Nelson, Marlborough Sounds, Kaikoura, Lyttelton, Kaiapoi, Ashley, Hokitika, Timaru. Oamaru, Moeraki, Port Chalmers, Taieri Mouth, and Invercargill. I inspected the oyster-beds at Bay of Islands, Whangaruru, Whangarei, Kaipara, Great Barrier, and Hauraki Gulf, and the toheroa-beds north of Kaipara. I also visited the salmon-hatchery at Ilakataramea several times during the year, and also made an inspection and arranged for necessary repairs to be made to the salmon-hatcheries at Te Anau and Pembroke. From the reports supplied by the Collectors of Customs and. Inspectors of Fisheries at the different fishing-ports it appears that a great deal of stormy weather was experienced through the winter and well on to the end of last year (1918), and on that account the supply of fish coming forward for weeks at a time was very irregular and quite insufficient for market requirements, and at such times the wholesale price at the auction markets ruled very high. The more exposed fishinggrounds' along the east coast, from Napier south to Bluff, were affected to a greater extent by the unfavourable weather conditions than the fishing-grounds farther north, where there is a- much greater extent of sheltered water well stocked with snapper and other market fishes. The high price and short supply of coal, benzine, nets, netting-twine, and all other necessaries connected with the fishing trade are affecting both the fishermen's earnings~and the supply of fish for market throughout the Dominion. The following is a summary of the information supplied by Collectors of Customs and local Inspectors of Fisheries in their reports for the year :—■_ Hokianqa.- There were nine boats engaged in fishing, as against fifteen in 1918. Very few fish were cauo-ht during the year, the varieties being the same as in previous years. The quantity taken cannot be given as they arc; sold only for local consumption and distributed over a large area in small quantities. Russell. Inspector Flinn reports that the supply of all kinds of fish during the past year has been very »ood, and that, notwithstanding severe and stormy weather during the winter and spring months the local fishermen have done very well. There is a growing demand, for both fresh and smoked' fish throughout the North, and this demand has been well supplied. As there is only one steamer a week to Auckland very few fish are sent to that market. From the beds in the Bay of Islands 4 840 sacks of oysters were taken last season : of these 300 sacks were sold locally, and the balance. (4,540) were shipped to the Government oyster-depot at Auckland. Over the greater part of the beds there has been a poor fixing of oyster-spat; in a few places there is a. fair showing of younc oysters, but this is confined to a few localities. On account of the poor showing of young oysters the quantity which can be taken for market this season will not come up to the quantity

taken in 1918. A. gang of men was again employed, during the summer months in shifting high-water oyster-rock down to a.nd below half-tide. The high-water oysters removed in this way during the early part of the previous year have improved to such an extent that a quantity of them is fit for market this season. The oysters planted in Whangaroa Harbour in 191.8 have given good, results ; the mature oysters planted have improved in size, and round some of the bods there are a lot of young oysters showing. At Messrs. Jagger and Cook's whaling-station at Whangamumu forty-one good humpback whales were taken last season, yielding 224 tons of oil and 38 tons of bonedust. Whangarei.- Mullet, flounder, hapuku, and rock-cod were taken in fair quantities during the past year. The quantity taken was approximately 1,577 cwt., valued at about £3,458. Auckland. —The Inspector for the Auckland District reports that there were five steam trawlers working from Auckland, and sixty-five oil-engined launches fishing from Auckland and Onehunga. A number of the Auckland line fishermen now take a supply of ice and stay out until they get, a good catch of fish, going as far as the north side of the two Barrier Islands, Mokohinou, and Mercury and Alderman Islands in the Bay of Plenty. These boats are all under 7 tons register, and they arc compelled to go to these far-away grounds on account of the scarcity of the best-sized market fish in the Hauraki Gulf. The Auckland market has been fairly well supplied, with fish during the year. The total number of sacks of oysters taken from the Hauraki Gulf and Great Barrier beds was 5,582. On a few of the beds there has been a fair showing of young oysters, but on the greater part of the beds the fixing of spat has been poor for several years. Thames. —The supply of fish during the past year was very satisfactory. Snapper, flounder, and gurnard have been taken in fairly large quantities. There are thirty-six launches engaged in fishing, employing 108 men. The fishing industry is developing of late, and at the present rate will in a short time become one of the district's most important industries. Tauranga. —There has been an increase in the number of fishing-boats during the past year — thirty-nine being registered, as against twenty in the previous year —and thirty men have been, engaged in fishing, being an increase of ten in the number fishing in 1918. Gisborne. —The supply of market fish on the usual fishing-grounds has been very much the same as in other years, but on account of unfavourable weather conditions the quantity and. value of the fish, brought in has been less than in 1918. Napier. —The year as a whole has been a moderate one for the fishing industry. In April, May, and June the fishing was so bad that four trawlers had to lay up, and the others that were kept running were, owing to the poor catches, worked at a considerable loss. During the months of October, November, December, and January westerly winds prevailed and record catches were made, especially of flat fish, which were of excellent quality. During February and March the catches were again poor. The year's results can be summarized as four months very good and eight months poor. During the four good months more than double the quantity of fish was landed than during the other eight. There has been an increase in the wholesale price of 4s. 6d. per hundredweight for flat fish and 2s. 4-d. per hundredweight for round fish. The small-boat fishermen at Olive and Westshore report a good year, some big hauls being made. The total value of all kinds of fish brought in during the year is £16,070 9s. 6d., as against £14,143 10s. 6d. in 19.18. Wa.nganui. —There has been very little fishing done during the past twelve months, as most of the fishermen have left the district. All kinds of fish are reported to be plentiful on the local fishing-grounds. Foxton. —The fish caught include flounder, whitebait, snapper, and kahawai. The total weight taken during the year was about 100 cwt., valued at £1,120. Wellington. —There has been an increase of seventeen in the number of fishing-boats licensed, during the year. Unfavourable weather conditions considerably hindered fishing operations, causing a scarcity of fish for the time. The local Inspector, however, reports that on the whole the market has been fairly well supplied. The quantity marketed was approximately 16,4.00 cwt., valued at, £20,160. Picton. —The quantity and value of fish caught at this port was about the same as in 1918, and the same number of launches were engaged in fishing. Three vessels were engaged, in whaling, and the Inspector reports a successful season for those engaged in this industry. Blenheim. —Fishermen report fish as being plentiful on the usual fishing-grounds, and with a ready market for their catches they have had a successful season. Nelson. —The quantity and value of fish brought in to this port during the year shows a considerable increase on the two previous seasons. One steam trawler has been engaged in fishing, and the Inspector reports that it has done very well. Fish have been plentiful on the fishing-grounds about French Pass, D'Urville Island, and in Nelson and Golden Bays. , Westport. -Fish sire reported as being plentiful, and good catches were made when weather conditions were favourable. Whitebait were more plentiful than in the preceding season, but were not taken in anything like the quantities they were a few years back. Greymouth. The Inspector reports that owing to bad weather the past season was a very poor one ; the quantity of fish caught was considerably less than in the two preceding years. Hokitika. —With the exception of whitebait there was very little other fishing done during the past year. The quantity of whitebait taken shows a very substantial increase on the catch of the two preceding seasons. Kaihoura. —There has been an increase in the number of fishermen and also a considerable increase in the value of fish landed, during the year. The fish-chilling and icemaking plant is proving of great benefit to the industry. A whaling-station has been established on the south side of 'the peninsula by Mr. C. Johnston. A useful plant has been erected, and Mr. Johnston expects to take up'the manufacture of bonedust and fertilizer from the residue of the carcase, after the oil is extracted.

Rangiora. —A good run of whitebait came up the Ashley last season. The value of the catch shows an increase on the two previous seasons. Fair catches of flounder and herring were made. Kaiapoi. —The past season has been the best for whitebait for some years, and some exceptionally good catches were made. Flounderriiave|been plentifuljout rather small in size. New Brighton. —The run of whitebait showed a decided improvement on the two preceding years. Lyttelton. —The local Inspector reports that fish have been scarce on the local fishing-grounds, the quantity brought in being considerably less than during 1918. Unfavourable weather hindered fishing operations, and this no doubt helped to account for the reduced quantity brought in during the year. - Akaroa. —The quantity and value of fish marketed show a decrease on the returns for the preceding year. The local Inspector states that, on account of the want of suitable transport facilities by steamer and railway, fish frequently arrives at the Christchurch market in bad condition. With better arrangements for its transport there is no doubt but what a very much larger quantity could be forwarded. Christchurch. —The fishing register shows that 135 boats were licensed in Christchurch district during the year. The following is a list of the number of boats and men employed: Lyttelton and Sumner, 4.1 boats, employing 63 men ; Akaroa, 12 boats, employing 17 men ; Kaikoura, 7 boats, employing 9 men ; Southbridge, 11 boats, employing 18 men ; Kaiapoi and Styx, 44 boats, employing 45 men ; Kangiora, 15 boats, employing 15 men ; New Brighton, 5 boats, employing 5 men : total, 135 boats, employing 172 men. Timaru. —During the past year fish have and the cost to the consumer considerably higher than in previous years. Fishermen complain of what they consider excessively high railway freights on fish, also of the high rate of insurance charged on their boats. The wholesale value of fish brought in during the year is estimated at £8,000. Oamaru. —The local Inspector says that compared, with former years this year shows a noticeable decrease in practically all. kinds of fish, this being partly due to unusually bad weather, but mainly to the absence of fish on the usual fishing-grounds. The fishermen state that this season is the worst on record. The industry is handicapped by the high cost of benzine and gear, together with the slow and costly transit to the chief market —Christchurch. The fishermen point out the necessity for a fish-chilling plant at Oamaru, as it is forty hours from the time when the fish is caught before it reaches the Christchurch market. Moeraki. —The quantity and value of fish taken during the year were about the same as in 1918. Otago District. —Rough weather prevailed for a great part of the year and interfered very much with fishing operations along the coast, and in consequence there was a serious shortage of fish for months at a time in the Dunedin market, and consequently the fish which came forward at such times brought exceptionally high, prices at the wholesale market. With the exception of the last two months poor catches of fiat fish were made by the trawlers on the usual grounds. On account of the scarcity of flat fish the steam trawlers worked off shore in about 20 fathoms, getting fair catches of tarakihi, mold, and other round fish. The seine-net fishermen working inside the harbour were not affected to any extent by the unsettled weather, and have had a prosperous year. All the outlying fishing-ports were visited by the Inspector during the year, and a scarcity of fish was reported, all round. Invercargill. —The principal fish taken are flounder, blue cod, red cod, groper, and, in the season, sea-run trout. The quantity and value of indigenous fish marketed was about the same as in 1918. The Inspector states that there has been a decline in the quantity and.size of the sea-trout taken, and he recommends that on account of this steady decline over a number of years in the trout caught for market, and the scarcity of sea-run trout getting up the rivers, trout-netting in the estuary should be done away with. Bluff—-Tho season generally has been a good one both for fish and oysters. The export trade has been somewhat hampered through the irregularity of the intercolonial service. Stewart Island. —The catches of fish during the past season have been fairly good. Bad weather during part of the year hindered fishing operations to some extent, and accounts for the decline in the quantity of fish brought in in comparison with the previous year's catch. Chatham Islands. —The fishing industry is holding its own, and the fishermen are satisfied with their lot as far as earnings are concerned. The local Inspector strongly urges the necessity for a fishermen's settlement on these islands, as it would be of great advantage to the industry. A great deal of time is lost by the fishermen on account of the frequent spells of bad weather and heavy seas, and at such times these men are thrown absolutely idle, whereas if each family had sufficient land to keep a cow or two and have a garden their living-conditions would be very much improved. Rock-oyster Beds. As stated in the Marine Department's report, the total quantity of oysters taken for market last season was 10,422 sacks. Of this quantity 4,774 sacks were picked from the Bay of Islands beds, 66 from the Mangonui beds, 5,065 from the beds in the Hauraki Gulf, and 517 from the Great Barrier beds. For several seasons in succession there has been a poor fixing of oyster-spat on the principal beds both in the Hauraki Guff and at the Bay of Islands, and on that account a large extent of the beds will have to be lightly picked this season, which, will mean a reduction in the total quantity which, can be taken for market. On a few of the beds in tire Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands there was a fair fixing of spat last season, but, as already stated, the fixing on the principal beds has been poor for several seasons. The oyster-rock taken up from Bay of Islands to Whangaroa Harbour in 1918 has'

PL—l5

12

given very good results ; the oysters have improved in size, and round tho beds there are quite a lot of young oysters fixed from the spawn of the brood oysters planted. The demand for oysters is increasing every season, and, as the supply is never sufficient to meet market requirements, the Department must .endeavour by every possible means to extend the beds by replanting and by strictly protecting every area where oysters exist. Artificial oyster-cultivation is now carried on extensively in New South Wales on similar lines to what is done in England, Prance, and America, and 1 think it advisable that detailed information should, be obtained with regard to the way the work is carried on, with the object of extending our present system of oyster-planting so as to bo able in as short a time as possible to meet the increasing demand for oysters. Quinnat Salmon. There was a groat falling-off in the run of salmon last spawning season. Very few came up the Waitaki or any of the other rivers along the east coast. Those caught in the nets in the Hakataramea and Dobson Rivers were about half the average size of the fish taken in other spawning seasons, and most of the fish were not in such good condition as in other years. During the previous spawning season (1917) a very heavy run of salmon came up the Waitaki and Rangitata Rivers : over seven hundred were netted in the Hakataramea River and ninety-five in the Dobson, and the number of eggs collected was 1,537,000. Last season (1918) only thirty-eight salmon were taken at Hakataramea and twenty-seven at the Dobson, and the total quantity of eggs collected was only 77,000. American and Canadian authorities who have made a special study of the life habits of the quinnat salmon say that very little is known of its life from the time it enters the sea in the early stages of its existence until it returns to the rivers in prime condition and sexually mature. Some of the American and Canadian authorities were advised of the failure of the salmon run last season. Dr. Hugh Smith, Commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries, Washington, D.C., in reply to the information sent to him about the matter, says: " The experience of one season with the Chinook (quinnat) salmon would not justify generalities. I have no means of knowing what the cause may have been, but I would not feel apprehensive unless the same condition prevails for several years in succession. The general outcome of this acclimatization experiment clearly indicates the adaptability of the. waters of New Zealand to this species, and there seems no reason why you should be discouraged by the present season's results." Professor Prince writes fully on the subject, and the following are extracts from his letter : " No one who knows the habits of the quinnat salmon would frame a conclusion from the failure of one season. Ido not think that you should come to a decision on the matter for at least two years more. It is known to salmon experts, as I need not remind you, that the quinnat often jumps or omits a year or two years, and instead of the full-grown fish returning in the fourth year they may be five, six, or even seven years old before they ascend their native river. This often causes a marked shortage even in tho great rivers of North America, where tens of thousands of fish, instead of hundreds, come in from the sea. How much more marked must this be where the salmon are so much fewer, as in your recently stocked rivers ! These two facts—the delayed descent of many quinnatfry, and later in life the delayed and variable return of the fish when adult--must result in tho very state of things you have in New Zealand this year —viz., a serious shortage in some years which will be put right in one, two, or three later seasons." According to the investigations by salmon experts the quinnat as a rule do not return from the sea in prime'eondition and sexually mature until they are at least four or five years old, so that the largo runs which came up the Waitaki in 1916 and 191.7 must have been the result of the natural spawning in that river and its tributaries, and the output of yearling salmon from the Hakataramea salmon station in 1912 and 1913. The run of salmon and the number which spawned both in the Waitaki and Rangitata Rivers has shown an annual increase of more than 50 per cent, from 1913 to 1917, so that unless some unusual occurrence has taken place the number which are approaching maturity at sea must be greatly in excess of the largest runs which have so far come up any of our rivers. The next large run may come next season or may be delayed for a longer period, but I have every confidence that when the fish hatched from the large spawnings between 1913 and 1917 have matured we may expect much heavier runs of prime-conditioned fish than has occurred so far. Acclimatization of Atlantic Salmon and other Useful Fishes. The salmon-hatchery for Atlantic salmon at Te Anau Lake, which has not been used for some years, was repaired during the year. Now that the war is over, and it is expected that the regular running of steamer services to England will be resumed in a few months, I would recommend that the importation of Atlantic-salmon eggs should again be taken up. A vigorous policy requires to be adopted with regard to the acclimatization of useful fishes, and if carried out on the right lines should in a short time prove a most profitable investment for the Dominion. As I have stated in a previous report, apart from what has already been accomplished, there is an immense amount of profitable work yet to be done ; in fact, I am. convinced that up to the present we have not half solved the problem of the possibilities of useful acclimatization work with regard to the acclimatization of both fresh-water and sea fishes. I would again strongly recommend continuing the importation of Atlantic-salmon eggs. The success with the quinnat salmon was, I consider, due to the systematic effort made, extending over six years, and it was on the same lines that I recommended making an effort to establish the Atlantic salmon. Unfortunately, principally on account of the war, the Government has not been able to carry out this recommendation, and there has now been a break of several years since the last importation of eggs was made.

H.—l6

13

Other valuable fishes which I would recommend should be, acclimatized are the land-locked salmon of Canada or the United States, or the Venner lax, the land-locked salmon of Norway and S we.den ; the deep-water trout (Salmo earpio) of the North Italian lakes ; the deep-water trout (Salmo tahoensis) of Lake Tahoe and other mountain-lakes in the Sierra Nevada mountain-range ; the Truckee trout (Salmo henshawii) ; the cut-throat trout (Salmo clarkii) ; and the Rio Grande trout (Salmo spilurus). All these trout inhabit mountain lakes and streams, and we have an immense extent of suitable water in our mountain regions for them. I would also recommend tho introduction, of the British sea-trout (Salmo trutta), which is one of the finest sport and table fishes ; and I would again recommend the acclimatization of the American striped bass (Roccus lineatus), as it is one of the most desirable inshore sea-fishes which can be introduced. I am in a position to state that there will be no difficulty in getting a supply of the eggs of all the fishes I have mentioned, and I know the hatcheries from where they can be obtained. No expense would have to be incurred in providing hatching-accommodation for the eggs after arrival, as the Department's salmon-hatcheries at Hakataramea, Te Anau, Pembroke, Wairau, and West Coast can be used for the purpose. With regard to the development of the sea-fisheries I would recommend that immediate attention should be given to the recommendations which I made in my last year's report. I. have, &c, L. F. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries.

The Chairman, Portobello Marine Fish-hatchery, to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir,— Dunedin, N.Z., 23rd May, 1.919. The last report of the Board of the Marine, Fish-hatchery addressed to yourself was dated 30th April, 1916, and brought up the account of the work done, at the station to the end of the financial year —viz., 31st March. Since then, owing chiefly to the sad death, of the, first curator, Mr. Thomas Anderton, on the, 4th November of that year, considerable changes have necessarily taken place. The continuance of the war complicated matters, and though all requisite work has been carried on without a break, and the station is kept in the best of order, it has been to some extent a case of marking time. Owing to various causes, and to heavy calls on my own time, I was unable, to furnish a report in time either in 1917 or last year. I have now much pleasure in doing so for the three years ending 31st March, 1919. The most serious event in the history of the hatchery was the death of our late curator. Mr. Anderton had not enjoyed good health for the previous two or three years ; indeed, the very severe ordeal he underwent in 1913, when he brought out a large consignment of herring-ova and other marine material to New Zealand, appeared to have undermined his constitution. He was never the same man afterwards, In October, 1916, he became seriously ill, and succumbed to the malady —tumour

on the brain —on the 4th November, at the comparatively early age of forty-three years. His loss was irreparable. He was a man of unique accomplishment, developing his strong scientific bias somewhat late in life. He could turn his hand to almost any kind of work, and whatever he bent his energies to ho carried out if it were possible to accomplish. He was conscientious and accurate, as a truly scientific man must always be, full of ingenuity, and careful of the smallest details. At tho same time he had a vision of the great possibilities of the work he was so much interested in, and had a very well-balanced judgment.' The Board was faced with, the appointment of a successor, and decided to offer the position to Mr. Wallace Adams, who had acted as assistant for some years and who possessed the confidence of the members. Mr. Adams took up his duties in full, though he had been in active charge for over three months, in January, 1917. At the same time Mr. Sydney Broadley was appointed assistant curator. Mr. Broadley is one, of the most skilful fishermen in Otago ;he knows the local conditions very thoroughly, and his skill and knowledge are of great assistance in the practical working of the station. Mr. Adams having resigned his position as Inspector of Fisheries for Otago, Mr. Broadley was appointed to the vacancy in May, 1917. It materially assists the station that one of its staff should have this official position, as it keeps it in touch with the fishermen on the coast, with whom the relations of the Board have always been of the pleasantest and most helpful. At the time of issue of the last report the Board had disposed of its old launch the " Rautaia," and had got a new one built by Messrs. Miller Bros., of Port Chalmers. This is an eminently satisfactory boat, and it is now completely fitted with trawl-nets, dredges, tow-nets, and other collecting-apparatus. She is a good sea-boat, and runs well both on her engines and under sail. The Board has named her the " Karoro," the native name of the black-backed gull. During 1916 the. Board resolved to instal a small windmill and pump to relieve the constant use of the oil-engine and pump formerly used to keep the large store-tank full of sea-water. One was procured from Messrs. A. and T. Burt, and its erection was completed on the Bth November of that year. This windmill has completely justified its existence, and has already saved its own cost in the greatly reduced consumjition of oil. Whole weeks pass in which it is not necessary to use the oil-pump at all-, Collection of Marine Fish-eggs. During the spawning season of the flat fishes, July and August of each year, a considerable number of sole and. brill eggs have been collected and hatched out. About three million larvae have been liberated each winter, but no attempt has been made to work out the development of these. Turbot. It will be remembered that in May, 19.1.6, Mr. Anderton liberated 128 of these fish off Tautuku Bay. In September, 1917, Mr. Adams took down forty-two more —large, fish—ranging from 15 in. to 22 in. in length, and liberated, them at the, same, spot. The conditions were very different, for the first lot were set free on a still moonlight night, with the water smooth and clear, while the second lot were liberated with a south-easterly gale blowing, but all were let go without any loss or injury. The Board is indebted to the owners, captain, and crew of the " Kotare " for the assistance so willingly and readily given to facilitate this piece of work. The number of turbot left in the pond (tank) is now sixteen ; none have been lost during the last year. In the preceding five years only nine fish out of 195 landed here have been lost, of which three were turned out because they showed signs of not being well, one jumped out of the tank, and five have died. We feel sure that no other hatchery or aquarium station can show a better record, testifying as it does to the scrupulous care taken in their management. In January, 1917, the largest fish measured 21 in. long. Al9 in. fish weighed a little over 6 lb. In March, 1918, the largest measured 22 in. long by 16 in. broad. On the 31st March of this year there is hardly any appreciable increase in size. Mr. Adams reports : " The rate of growth has not been so rapid .as that of former years. The largest fish have become broader and thicker but have not increased in length. The smaller turbot are still increasing in length and breadth ; the rate, of growth is, however, slow. In noting the growth of flounders we have found that the rate averages | in. per month until the fish measures 11 in. to 12 in., and from then on the rate is not more than an inch in twelve months. Our experience with the turbot is the same as that of the flounders when kept in close confinement." In this connection I have tried to obtain information as to the growth of pond-bred salmon (Salm,o salar) in the ponds of the Otago Acclimatization Society at Clinton, to see if confinement' retarded the growth. There is no doubt that it did so, though unfortunately no exact record has been kept. In 1889 there were 116 four-year-old salmon in the ponds (reared from imported ova), and were kept in confinement till 1895 as breeding-fish. At that date the last of them were liberated into the Waiwera, as they had become badly infested with fungus. These fish commenced to spawn at four years old. In 1892 the annual report stated that " the fish continue healthy in their confinement, although they do not grow to a large size." As a matter of fact Ido not think they ever grew beyond 101b. in weight, while, brown trout in the, streams in tho vicinity were found 181b. in weight. There seems no doubt that confinement in a limited space checks the full growth of all fishes. The turbot have never shown any signs of spawning, although fish taken in the sea in Britain commence to spawn when 13 in., to 14 in. long. The shallowness of the water may also have to do with the spawning, as there is reason to believe that our spawning flat fish do not come into shallow water when spawning. It is not a question of temperature, for the water in our tanks has not, been allowed to fall below 44° F. at, any time in thedast three years.

Lobsters. The stock of these crustaceans in the ponds on the 19th December, 1916, was seventeen males and seventeen females. On the 31st March, 1.918, it was eleven males and fourteen females; and at the, end of this year it is five males and twelve females. In the case of the, majority if not all of the deaths the cause seems to be injuries received during the act of casting the shell. The number of larva liberated during the past three seasons is estimated, at over 350,000 at a very moderate computation. They have simply been allowed to escape, and no attempt has been made to rear them through their free-swimming stages. No lobsters at any stage, of growth have yet been met with in the sea, although it is now ten years since they began to be set free. The Hoard got large crab-pots made, which were lined with fine wire netting, and have been put out in suitable lucidities and baited in the hope of securing young lobsters. Plenty of kokopuru and other kinds of small crustaceans were got, but no lobsters. Neither, however, were there crayfish, with which the coast-line swarms. I wrote to Dr. Williamson, of Aberdeen, on the subject,.but he' said we need not worry, as they never see young lobsters or young edible crabs on their coast. Fish-marking. In 1916 the Board was contemplating a. scheme for marking fish in order, if possible, to ascertain their coastal movements and migrations. It intended to procure a. number of suitable tags, and commence the systematic, catching, marking, and liberating of specimens of the, common, sole (Peltorhamphus novm-zeelandice). Up to the present it has been found impossible to carry out this scheme, but a good deal of information on the subject has been secured. In the first instance we learned from Dr. Allen, Director of the, Plymouth Biological Station, that, vulcanite tags consecutively numbered, were obtainable only from Hamburg. Owing to the war that source was closed, and he could not name any one in Britain who could supply suitable tags. Application was then made to the Commissioner of Fisheries, Washington, D.C., who took some trouble to obtain information. His second letter of April, 1917, states that "the Bureau is just in receipt of advice, from Lamb and Tilden, local | Washington] agents for most of the large manufacturers of marking-devices, that they are unable to locate a manufacturer who will undertake to furnish vulcanite, ivorite, or celluloid tags, and expressing their conviction that such materials would disintegrate in sea-water." He adds, " The experience of the Bureau in tagging live fish is somewhat limited, and it does not therefore feel justified in making recommendations. In an investigation that has only recently been suspended, a, device, made of silver and suitably marked was attached to the opercle by perforation. It may be stated that the fish marked in this experiment were the tunas or albacores. One tag from a marked fish, has been recovered to date, and this is supposed to have been in the water about two months. There was no evidence of corrosive action." The cost of these tags whs $85-50 per thousand. It was also stated that the Bureau used tags made of pure block tin for specimens preserved in alcohol, formalin, and other preservative, without any signs of attack by the preserving agent. Messrs. Lamb and Tilden offered to supply oval checks, 1 in. by | in., with sunk figures 100 to 1,100, and letters " N.Z." thereon, hole at each end, in block tin, for $40-00 per thousand not. They add, " The metal-market to-day is in such a condition that no positive guarantee can be obtained as to its purity." In replying to these communications I stated, that the, Curator and I were of opinion that a bright metal plate or disk, even if only an inch long, or less than an inch in diameter, might direct an amount, of attention to the marked fish which might prove detrimental to it. We resolved, therefore, to experiment with tank fish in the first instance. One difficulty immediately met ns : there was no pure tin to be obtained here, or (according to local houses) in Australia. The tin examined by me, contained, some antimony. We resolved, therefore, to experiment with aluminium, though knowing its unsuitability for marine, work. The attachment of the tags to a flat fish like the sole, is a somewhat difficult matter. We found, too, as we anticipated, that as soon as a fish got its bright, metal label attached to it it became an object of interest to the, other fish in the, tank. They soon lost their interest, however, though in most cases they must have snapped a good deal at the tags, as they tore the fins to which they were attached. In the open sea, this would be a very serious menace to the fish, and would lead in many cases to their destruction. The base of the pectoral or of the dorsal fins appeared the most suitable position for the attachment of the tags, but in every case the fins were either badly bitten or torn away. Eventually the plan of puncturing the base of the caudal fin was found to be best, and tags so placed have remained attached for several months. They were fastened on by a small piece, of silver wire passed through the flesh. Several tags, carefully weighed, were placed in small jars or bottles and sunk in the tanks to test the action of the sea-water on them. They were examined from time to time, and finally cleared and weighed, at the end of eight months. As was anticipated, aluminium, on account of its liability to be attacked by chlorides, was found to be totally unsuitable for this work. Many of the tags split and blistered as if the thin metal was formed of very thin plates, and the space between these split films became filled with a white crystalline mass, which proved to be nearly pure aluminium, oxide. All the split tags gained weight from this oxidation of the metal. Those, which remained intact all lost weight, varying in each case from 0-16 to 3-67 per cent. The average|loss ofjweight was 1-32 per cent, in the eight months. Growth of Fish in the Tanks. The growth of the turbot has already been referred to. It may be mentioned here that turbot are easy fish to measure, although they have never been handled. When it has been necessary to lift them, either for examination tank, a small flat net on a wire frame has been slipped under each fish, which then allowed itself to be lifted without a wriggle. Round fish under such conditions always tend to jump, but flat fish lie still for a considerable time.

Tn regaid to the growth of the common flounder (Rhombosolea plebeia) it is noted that when first placed in the tanks the fish, do not feed, and it takes them two or three weeks to become familiar with the surroundings. Only eight fish have, been measured for any length of time. No. I. 51 in. long, increased to 8| in. in nine months, or an average growth of f in. per month ; but in the first four months it grew fin. per month and then slowed down. No. 2, 6 in. long, increased to 10} in. in eighteen months, or slightly over Jin. per month, the growth being fairly uniform throughout. No. 3, 6} in, to 9-| in. in seven months, uniformly more than -|in. per month. No. 4, 6-J-in. to 11 { in. in fourteen months, or f in. per month ; in this also the rate was about f in. per month in the first six months, and only J- in. for the rest of the period. No. 5, in. to 12Jin. in twenty-three months, or barely Jin. per month. For tho first four months the rate was £ in. per month, then it gradually slowed down, and during the last year the fish has only increased 1 in. in length. No. 6, 7} in. to 9| in. in six months, or slightly over f in. per month. No. 7, 7| in. to 12| in. in twenty-three months. Of this increase 4J in. was gained in the, first eight months, or over J in. per month ; then the growth nearly stopped, and the length has only increased 1 in. in fifteen months, or rather slower than No. 5. No. 8, 7f in. to 12|- in. in eleven months, or considerably over fin. per month, the growth being most rapid for the first six months. The number of fish dealt with is too small to found any definite conclusions upon, but the facts are worth recording for future reference. T cannot find that the season of the year has made any difference in the rate of growth. As the water in the tanks, even in the coldest months of the year, is never allowed to fall below 44° F., the fish feed all the year round, and they get as much to eat as they want. In the open sea, however, as the temperature seldom or never falls below 48° F., they probably are only dependent on the foodsupply for the rate of growth. Of other fishes kept in the tanks for any length only two have been measured. A. specimen of the girdled parrot-fish, or wrasse (Pseudolabrus cinctus), is of a slate-blue colour, arid is a particularly shy fish in the concrete tank, where its hue makes it conspicuous. It was 9-J in. in length when placed in the tank, and has increased to IT! in. in nineteen months, or less than -J in. per month. This slow rate of growth has been uniform. A specimen of the banded parrot-fish. (P. pittensis), of exactly the same size, has been, under observation for the same period, and has grown at the, same rate. This fish, which is of a general light-green colour, crossed by bands of a darker hue, is not so shy as the preceding species, probably because its colour approximatesfmore closely to that of the commonest of the, green algse, and this makes it much less conspicuous. Surface Nettings. From, the establishment of the hatchery a large quantity of material has been gathered from the surface of the sea, both inside and outside of Otago Heads, by means of surface nets. Some of this has in the past been sent to Professor G. S. Brady, of Newcastle, and to Professor 0. Otto Sars, of Christiana-, both of whom, have done valuable work in identifying and describing New Zealand Crustacea,. Since October, 1918, the collection of surface-net material has been undertaken regularly every week. The gathering is made off the wharf, and thus consists only of the small swimming life of the water which flows past the station daily. I recognize that this work is only the beginning of a research on the floating life of the waters of Otago Harbour and. the adjacent, seas. If all the material collected were worked out it would enable us to ascertain to some extent what are the common forms of life on which our fishes feed. The contents of the surface nets vary largely from month to month, at times consisting almost entirely of Copepoda, and in the summer being mixed with a, large proportion of crab zooaeas and larval fish. h\ the European seas some of the most valuable food fishes, such as the herring and mackerel, feed at times almost exclusively on Copepoda ; so do the young of such flat fishes as the plaice. The same is probably true of the fish in our southern seas. When rearing larval lobsters Anderton fed them with Copepoda obtained by surface netting. The examination of the, stomach-contents of our food fishes, which is still regularly continued at the hatcher)', deals only with the larger material found. The. identification of Copepoda and other small organisms requires microscopic examination, and that cannot be undertaken until scientific assistance is fully available. Meanwhile the Board is accumulating material from week to week, in the hope that ere, long it may bo worked out. No attempt has been made to collect smaller organisms, such as the diatoms which form such a vast proportion of the food of the Copepoda, themselves. Their enormous importance may be inferred from the estimate made by Professor Moore (quoted by Professor Herdman in a recent paper on " Distribution of Diatoms and Copepoda in the Irish Sea ") that the amount of carbon used up by Diatoms and converted from the inorganic to the, organic form, probably amounts to " something of. the order of 20,000 to 30,000 tons per cubic mile of sea-water (= 57-5 or 86-25 grains per cubic yard, or 4 to 6 grammes per cubic metre) in the Irish Sea ; and this probably means a production each season of about 2 tons of dry organic matter, corresponding to at least 10 tons of moist vegetation, per acre " (of sea-surface). Of future research to be undertaken a most important branch is the working out of the lifehistories of our food fishes. At present about 120 species of fishes are known from the waters of Otago Harbour and the immediately adjacent waters. Of these about thirty-six appear more or less commonly on the market, but the life-histories of only five or six are known even to a small extent. In conclusion we would suggest that steps should be taken, now that the war is over, and as soon as shipping becomes normally available, to procure a further supply of lobsters and edible crabs. It would also be advisable to consider whether any further shipments of turbot should be attempted. These are matters^fW*future action,", '|meanwhile we suggest that they should be kept in view. i am, &c, Geo. M. Thomson, The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. Chairman, Marine Fish Hatchery Board.

The Qhief Inspector of Machinery and Chief Surveyor of Ships to the Secretary of the Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department. Sir,— Head Office, Customs Building, Wellington, 2nd July, 1919. I have the honour to submit herewith the, annual report of the operations of the Inspectors of Maohinery and Surveyors of Ships during the twelve months which ended on 31st March, 1.919. I have pleasure in reporting another successful year of the work of the Department. The, officers ol the Department have had a very strenuous year trying to keep pace with the great increase of new land machinery that' has been introduced during the year. At the end of the year, however, there were, a great many inspections overdue, but with additional assistance, which, has been promised I am hopeful of [licking up most of the arrears next year. Several special trips were made to suit clients who bad installed new machinery and. who wished to have everything safe before starting. In some cases the expenses were pa-id by the owners of such plants. Freezing-works owners have also asked, for special treatment, with their stores full of meat and produce. This year they could, not close down as usual to have their inspections made at one time. Several visits had to be pa-id to inspect their different appliances so as to avoid interfering with the freezing operations. These works are now more numerous than ever before, and the capacities of most of them have been doubled of late years. We have met all obligations to assist them, but it has taken up a, great deal of the Inspectors' time. The equipping and surveying of transports and work connected with the Admiralty has all been attended to. In some cases this has meant the services of some of our Surveyors for weeks, as the work was mostly of a very urgent and pressing nature. The, Naval Adviser has commended us for the services rendered and for the practical help given. 1 visited nearly all the district offices during the year, and also called, on a great number of the shipowners and engineering firms. The latter have been well employed during the year with additions to freezing-works, machinery, &c, and, had material been procurable, might have done more. Skilled labour has, of course, been scarce, but next year should see a marked improvement, with things coming back again to normal conditions. Our work generally has been well maintained during the year, and all calls made on the Department have been met as far as possible. For convenience of reference this report is set out in divisions, as follows : — 1. Inspection of boilers. 2. Now boilers inspected. 3. Inspection of machinery. 4. Fencing and guarding of machinery. 5. Survey of steamships and auxiliary-powered vessels. 6. Survey of ships for seaworthiness. > 7. Survey of Government vessels. 8. Additional steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels surveyed for the first time. 9. Survey of sailing-vessels. 10. Issue of explosive permits. 11. Examination of marine engineers. 12. Examination of land engineers and engine-drivers. 13. Examination of electric-tram drivers. | 14. Board of Examiners. 15. Districts and Inspectors. 1. Inspectionjpf Boilers. The number of boilers inspected during the year was 7,005. There were at the end of the year a large number not inspected. No boiler-explosions occurred during the year. There has been no trouble with the steam-owners, though a great many repairs were found necessary, and in numerous cases a reduction, in pressure was made. The good feeling existing between the various Inspectors and their clients is very marked. 1 have met a great many steam-users during the year, and they in almost all cases wore pleased for the advice, and attention given at the annual inspections. hong distances are now covered by most of those engaged in this inspooting-work, and great risks are run with horses, motors, and bad roads. This year, however, there have been few accidents to report while Inspectors were on their rounds. Boilers at Government institutions were examined as desired, and, where required, repairs effected. There were in all 800 defects discovered in boilers, and of this number 262 were considered very dangerous. If these defects had not boon discovered and remedied no doubt disastrous results would have followed. Compulsory inspection, therefore, has proved its usefulness on many occasions. 2. New Boilers inspected. Of the new boilers inspected the greater number were pressure vessels such as digestors, manuredriers, wool-driers, jacketed pans, vulcanizers, &c. Very few new portable- and traction-engine boilers were inspected. New boilers of this class, including road-roller boilers, were fairly numerous before, the war. The number of new multitubular and vertical boilers inspected is greater than that of any other type ; the water-tube class comes third, but in point of aggregate horse-power it probably comes first. These boilers range in nominal horse-power from 70 to 140, and have been installed in large works such as meat-freezing works, dairy factories, sugar-refining mills, and tramway power-houses.

Several defects in the design of new boilers have been noted, and perhaps it will be sufficient to mention at present two of them—one the design of flanged cover-joints, the other the insufficient safety-valve area provided with gas-heated boilers. With covers of cast iron bedded down on the spigot only and the, cover-bolts disposed outside the spigot there is always a danger of cracking the cover when tightening up the joints. The same remark applies to plain flanged covers when thick' jointing-material is used. The jointing-material should be laid all over the flanges and not wholly within the bolt-circle. No cover-bolts should, generally speaking, be less than | in. diameter —preferably f in. diameter—because of the injury which might result when such small bolts are being screwed up. The safe working-stress should be determined with reference to the size of the bolt and the frequency of the removal of the cover. The working-stress per square inch of net area on a, f in. bolt should be about one-half of that of an inch bolt. The safety-valves fitted to gas-heated boilers, vulcanizers, &c, are sometimes very small. A safety-valve should always be large enough to discharge all the steam the apparatus can make at the working-pressure. Moreover, the smaller the safety-valve the more liable it is to sticking and derangement. Small safety-valves should be frequently tested--daily or more often. In an experiment on a small boiler (9J- in. diameter by 32 in. high, ten f-in.-diameter tubes) heated by a gas ring it was found that after the working-pressure had been reached the, pressure increased 10 lb. per minute when the safety-valve and other outlets were closed. The importance of seeing that the safety-valve is free will therefore be realized. The number of new boilers inspected during the year was 162 ; of this number 74 were made in the Dominion and 88 were imported. The following table gives the districts to which the new boilers went, the horse-power, and whether made in the Dominion or imported : —

S. Inspection of Gats-, Oil-, Water-, and Electric-driven Machinen/, including Lifts. The motive power under the c headings is increasing each year in large numbers, especially in the dairying districts of the North Island, where the oil-engine has become essential for labour-saving. The locally made engines are still increasing, and there is a, noticeable increase in the number of the higher-powered oil-engines made in the Dominion. The total number of inspections made was 15,609, an increase of 1,455 for the year. There were a number of inspections under these headings in arrears at the end of the financial year, and these were mostly stationed in the North Island. 1. Fencing and (luarding of Machinery. There were 1,219 notices issued to guard machinery during the year, and there were several accidents reported with machinery during the year, a number of these being in connection with lifts. The high rate of speed of the modern electric lift has necessitated extra precautions being taken to have thorn efficiently protected, both from the cage and landings. An account of all these accidents is reported on an appended return. Some of these proved fatal, and several of the accidents were the result of carelessness on the part of the employee. It is difficult to provide, by means of guarding, against all accidents. A good deal must be left to individual, discretion. It is astonishing sometimes to find, when any one has become accustomed to any machine, the risks ho will run in attempting to do almost impossible things with the machine in motion. 5. Survey of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. Many running surveys of ships continue to be made. It is important that a Surveyor should be advised a day or so before his services are required. It has often happened that when called upon at a moment's notice he has had a prior engagement. It would also be of great assistance to all parties concerned if preparations for the survey were completed before the Surveyor arrives at the vessel. A Surveyor's time is very fully occupied, and any assistance which would be given him in expeditiously carrying out his duties would be greatly appreciated. Owing the the anxiety of getting a ship away, sufficient time is not always allowed for the cooling of the boiler. A Surveyor cannot reasonably be expected to enter a boiler which is too hot, and where conditions obtain which are a menace to his health, and are not conducive to the efficiency of the examination.

It is quite unusual, to have to report such a serious defect as has been discovered in one of the. longitudinal seams of the shell-plates of tho main boiler of the tug " Dunedin." The boiler is of the tngfis patent marine, typo, 14 ft. in mean diameter and 11 ft. long. The, shell-plates are If in. thick, and the longitudinal seams treble-riveted, double butt-strap joint, giving a percentage strength of 84-2 of the solid plate. The boiler had only been in use about four years when leakage at the buttstraps was detected. Further examination revealed numerous small cracks in the cover-plates, butt straps, and shell-plates under the butt straps. A defect of this nature has never before been know n in New Zealand, but similar defects appear to have been found in marine boilers in other parts of the world. The cause of the failure of the plates is at present somewhat obscure. Portions of the defective material have been forwarded to the Board of Trade, London, who, with Lloyd's Register, have kindly consented to investigate the matter. The total number of steamships and auxiliary-powered vessels surveyed was 729. Of vessels over 25 tons gross there wore only two built in the Dominion during the year. Their names were " Orini " and " Te Tui," both oil-engine vessels, particulars of which are given below. It has been proposed to build a large wooden vessel in the Northern Wairoa. The plans and specifications were drawn up by naval architects in Australia, and submitted to the Department for approval. I understand that the proposal has now been abandoned. In common with, other parts of the world, New Zealand has added to the number of her sea-going vessels some hulks which it was thought at one time had finally ended their careers as traders on the high seas. The hulk " Lilla "is now the s.s. " Opihi " ; the hulk " Dartford "is now a barque of the same name; the hulk "County of Anglesey" is now the barque " Gladbrook " ; and the hulk "Northern Chief" is now a three-masted schooner of the same name. An old iron steamer built in 1876, the s.s. " Stella," which had been laid up since 1912, was thoroughly overhauled and again put into commission. Particulars of the alterations and repairs to these vessels are given elsewhere in this report. A new main boiler was fitted into the tug " Hipi." It was constructed in New Zealand of scantlings approved by the Department, and is of the usual marine multitubular type. The following is descriptive of the new vessels " Orini " and " Te Tui " :- O.E.V. "Orini." — The dimensions of the vessel are —Length, 86 ft.; breadth, 25*2 ft.; depth, 5-2 ft. The gross tonnage is 85-11, the register tonnage. 19-18. The vessel is a light-draught auxiliary schooner of the scow type, and is employed in tho home trade, carrying deck cargo only. She is propelled by two sets of four-cycle oil-engines, each of 60 brake horse-power, giving her a speed of about 8 knots. Plans and specifications of the hull and machinery were submitted for approval before tin- work of building the vessel was commenced. The hull was built on the diagonal principle, and the wood used was chiefly kauri. The bottom was sheathed with totara. O.E.V. "Te Tui." —This vessel is used to carry cargo in Kaipara Harbour. She is 39 tons gross and 30-5 register, the propelling machinery consisting of two sets of oil-engines each of 16 brake horsepower. The plans and specifications were approved by the Department. The vessel has three skins, the two inner ones ranged diagonally and the outer one fore-and-aft. Fortv-eight vessels had new propeller-shafts fitted, eleven had new propellers, and three had new propeller-blades. Seven vessels were fitted with new engines, and one with a new main boiler. The working-pressures of the mam boilers of three vessels, and that of the donkey boilers of three vessels, were reduced to ensure safe working. New crank shafts were fitted to the main engines oi four vessels. Four sailing-vessels were converted into oil-engine vessels, and the engines of one oilengine vessel were removed, and she is now dependent on her sails only. Many vessels have been extensively repaired, and the following list gives the names of some of these vessels and the nature of the repairs made to them : — S.S. " Aorere." —This vessel was at one time engaged in the home trade. She has now changed ownership, has been repaired, and carries cargo in Wellington Harbour. The following parts of the hull have been renewed : sister keelsons, side stringers from after end of engine-room to forward end of bunkers, beams at fore and after ends of forward hatchway, four carlines of jarrah on after deck at the engine-room, bunkers and bunker-coamings, boiler-chairs, funnel, and fore and main rigging. A piston-valve and new ahead eccentric strap were fitted to the high-pressure cylinder. A new condenserdoor on the port side and a new intermediate stop-valve were also fitted) The bottom of the main boiler was patched, in two places. Extended patches were fitted, on the back and bottom of the combustion-chamber and at the back end of the furnace of the boiler. Twenty-four screwed stays, two bar stays, and two stay-tubes were renewed in the boiler. The boiler was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure to 1501b. per square inch. O.E.V. " Bret a Tui." —Originally employed within restricted limits, this vessel is now running in the home trade. A. 10 in. by 8 in. beam, 1.8 ft. long, has been bolted on top of the keelson where it was cracked. The stern-post has been bored out, and a new liner has been fitted to make, the sterntube a tight fit. All running-gear and most of the rigging has been renewed. The propelling-engines were thoroughly overhauled, and three cylinders and the greater part of the engines were renewed. S.S. " Cygnet." —The hull of this vessel received a thorough overhaul. On the outside several plates were renewed, and several where sheathed. New top and centre gudgeon-pins and thirteen new rivets were fitted in the rudder. Inside the hull the repairs and renewals were more extensive. In the holds, bunkers, and stokehold a number of floors, intercostals, reverse frames, and stringers were renewed. The keelson angles aft and in the stokehold were, also renewed. A number of frames and. deck-beams were strengthened. Several new stays were fitted in the bunkers and the engines and boiler were overhauled. S.S. " Defender." —This vessel has been well strengthened with renewals to her keelson : 32 ft. of the main keelson aft, 43 ft. of the rider keelson amidships, 42 ft. of the bilge keelsons amidships each

side, and 32ft. of the same keelsons on each side aft, were renewed. The main and rider keelsons were by 12 in., the bilge keelsons 12 in. by 12 in. amidships and 10 in. by 10 in. aft, being all of ironbark timber. S.S. " Qarmet." —Thejoldjdeck-planking of (die"vessel was removed andfthe deck raised alt. Eight defective deck-beams were replaced with new beams, and four natural-bend timbers were renewed on each side amidships. A new rudder-stock and several new hull-planks were also fitted. The boiler was taken out of the vessel, and filly rivets were cutjnit and renewed at the end of the bull, strap on the back end of the furnace. The shell was cleaned and painted, and the boiler tested to 150 lb. hydraulic pressure. T.S.S. " Hipi." —The quadruple expansion engines of this vessel were replaced with two sets of compound engines, and a new Edwards air-pump was installed. A new main boiler was also fitted. The vessel also had new bunkers, new stern-brackets, new decks, and new covering-boards where they were found defective. The hull was strengthened with doubling beams and heavier stringers. S.S. " Invereargill." —A considerable amount of repairs was found necessary in the neighbourhood of the after ballast-tank. Several floors, reverse bars, and intorcostals were renewed. In the fore and after holds several reverse bars were renewed. The forepeak bulkhead was stiffened with, two new angle-bars. A new high-pressure creosshead pin and brasses were fitted to the high-pressure engine, and a new bucket and rod to the circulating-pump. Division plates at each end of the condenser were renewed. A patch on the bottom of the port combustion-chamber of the main boiler was taken oil and reriveted. The lifeboats were overhauled and the buoyancy tanks were tested. A now standard oompass was fitted. S.S. " Kahika."- At the annual survey of this vessel the boilers and engines were the only parts requiring important repairs. Patches were fitted on each side of the three furnaces of the main boiler, and about forty combustion-chamber stays were renewed. Six stay-tubes, fifteen plain tubes, and several rivets were also renewed. The donkey boiler was retubed. Two gusset-stays were renewed. Three new sludgehole-doors and one manhole-door were fitted. The high-pressure cylinder was lifted out and a crack in the cylinder-jacket Was patched and a ring shrunk on the cylinder. No. 2 cylinder was bored out and a new piston fitted. The crank-shaft was rebuilt with a new length of shafting and new crank-pins. S.S. " Kittawa."- --The hull, main and donkey boilers, and engines all received a thorough overhaul. In the after hold twelve reverse bars were renewed. Sections of the coamings of tin; engine and boiler casing were cut out and renewed. In the bunkers the casing and trunk-way haloh-ooaniings were repaired, and two 'tween-deck plates were renewed. Eighteen floors in No. 3 ballast-tank were renewed. Repairs had to be made to the rudder, and the tail-shaft was drawn for inspection. A. cargo-derrick was replaced with a new spar, and the mainmast was lifted out and a, new centre built in it. New foretopmast-stays, niaintopmast-backstay, and four topmast-backstays were fitted. The main engine-shafting was lined up and a number of holding-down bolts were renewed. The plain tubes of the port combustion-chamber of the main boiler were renewed, and eighteen screwed stays in the port and centre combustion-chambers wore renewed. The wasted IJortions at the bottom of the front of the boiler were made up with the oxy-acetylenc process. All the plain tubes of the donkey boiler were renewed, and a, patch round the bottom of the boiler was reriveted and caulked. New main steam-pipes were installed and tested to a suitable hydraulic pressure. S.S. " Ohinemuri." —The repairs effected to this vessel's main boiler consist of new ends, 2 ft. long, to both furnaces, and a new combustion-chamber bottom. The boiler was afterwards tested by hydraulic pressure. In the hull, four planks on the port side and two in the garboard strakc, starboard side, and six in the fore deck were renewed. A new piece of timber was fitted in the aperture, and the bottom of the hull was sheathed with totara. S.S. " Opihi" (formerly the coal-hulk " Lilla"). This vessel was built in 1886 of iron, and is 208-5 ft. in length, 34-6 ft. beam, and 21ft. in depth. The hulk was originally a sailing-vessel. A great deal of the material and machinery, including the stern-frame, engines, and boilers, which were used in making the alterations to the, " Opihi " were salved from the wreck of the s.s. " Opouri." The " Opouri " was an up-to-date steamer, but smaller than the " Opihi." Close investigation of the, strength of the hulk had therefore to be made to ensure that the combination of old and modern methods of construction, and the re-enforcing of the, weaker parts of the, sailing-vessel and of the smaller scantlings of the parts salved from the " Opouri " would have the same efficiency as if the vessel had been designed originally to the requirements of a, steamship. Now plates were fitted at the stern, and the floors and frames in the machinery-space were strengthened. The hold is 110 ft. long, and has two hatchways, in way of which deep web frames are fitted. Bulkheads were erected dividing the vessel into four watertight compartments. The vessel has two masts, and is schoonerrigged. New fore and main rigging arid stays, derricks, goose-necks, gin-blocks, and bands at masthead were fitted. S.S. " Pa,rera." —It was found necessary to renew parts of this vessel's hull as follows : Twenty planks, seventy frames, eight floors, two stringers, decking aft, and the housing over the engine and boiler. The, engine and boiler seatings were also renewed, and a new propeller was fitted. S.S. " Stella." The woodwork was stripped from the hull, the main and donkey boilers and the fresh-water tanks were removed, and the following repairs carried out: Seven floor-plates at the alter end of the fore hold were renewed ; five reverse frames in the boiler-space and seven on each side of the fore hold were strengthened ; strake-platcs E 4 on the port and starboard sides were renewed ; new bottom plates and one on the top were fitted in the tunnel; a new deck-stringer was fitted on each side of the engine-casing, and the tie-plates at the boiler-casing, the boiler-casing coamingplates on each side, and three plates on the port side of the boiler-casing and one on the starboard

side, and the top of the casing, were all renewed; about two-thirds of the starboard bunker and onethird of the port bunker, and all bunker-stays were renewed. The forward bulkhead of the crossbunker was shifted aft 7 ft. ; new stiffeners of 3 in. by 3 in. by fin. angle-bars were riveted to the bunker : the hatchways were enlarged ; a room was built for the master on the bridge deck, and the crew accommodation was refitted; the hull, both inside and out, was thoroughly chipped and painted ; all rigging, derricks, cargo gear, and all life-saving equipment, excepting the, boats, were renewed ; the main boiler was also thoroughly overhauled- a piece was cut out of the bottom of the shell and a, patch 8 ft. by 8 ft. by j? in. riveted on ; an old patch in the starboard combustion-chamber was renewed ; all the boiler-mountings were refitted and the boiler relagged and tested to a suitable hydraulic pressure ; the main and auxiliary steam-pipes were also tested by hydraulic pressure ; the funnel was lengthened by 7 ft., the two bottom courses being renewed. O.E.V. " Waihau." In the hull a number of the floors have been renewed and a number have been backed with new timber. All damaged planks have also been renewed. A fume-proof bulkhead between the engine-room and the cabin, and two ventilators in the engine-room, have been fitted. The renewals to the propelling-machinery include new bearings for the crank-shaft, new cross-head-pins, new reverse wheels and clutch, and a new lignum-vitse stern-bush. Auxiliary Scow " Wave." —The centre case was taken out of this vessel and a new false keel put on. The cabin and crew's quarters and all bulkheads have been renewed. A new rudder-band was fitted to the rudder and the rudder was refastened. A. new stud-link anchor-chain and two new anchors were added to the equipment. The engines, including the thrust-block, have been refastened. New sleeves were fitted to both tail-shafts, and new bushes in. tubes and brackets. New exhaustpipes and valves were fitted. 6. Survey of Ships for Seaworthiness. Forty-three special surveys of ships for seaworthiness were made. Most of the accidents were due lo the vessels encountering heavy weather. Four sprang a leak from this cause, but most of the others were damaged at their moorings or whilst berthing. Grounding, striking rocks, and collisions accounted for about 25 per cent, of the accidents. Only one case of fire was reported. The accidents to boilers included one each due to corrosion, crack in furnace, furnace down, and leak in main steam-pipes. Failures in the engine-room included piston-valve chamber breaking ; cracking of horse-power ahead column ; breaking of connecting-rod bolts, junk-ring, crank-web ; the blowing-out of a cylinder-joint; and the loss of propeller-blades. The most s»rious casualty was that of the s.s. " Port Hacking." This vessel is owned by the Commonwealth and Dominion lane, and is over 6000 gross tonnage. She grounded on the tail of Horseshoe Bank, Chesapeake Bay, U.S.A., on the 19th October, 1917, but was floated, the next day. She proceeded on her voyage to Auckland via Panama. When about 1600 miles on her way to New Zealand it was discovered that the rudder had broken off at the second gudgeon. A jury-rudder was rigged and a course set for'Callao, where, temporary repairs were effected. While at Callao a, diver found that the stern-frame and rudder-post had carried away. This information was reported to the. owners, who then had sent to Auckland a new stern-frame, rudder-post, and rudder. After a trying voyage, through the temporary rudder also carrying away, the vessel arrived at Auckland on the 13th March, 1918.'*~Arrangements were immediately made to'have repairs executed with all possible, despatch, and to'place at the disposal of the contractors the resources of the whole Dominion. The repairs were wholly supervised on behalf'of the Admiralty by?an Engineer Surveyor of Ships, who also decided upon the minimum amount of repairs that was absolutely necessary to put the vessel into a seaworthy condition. The following repairs were, done: The damaged, rudder and stern-frame were removed and a, new frame and rudder fitted. A number of shell plates had to be removed and reriveted in the vicinity of the stern-frame. A number of keel-plates and other shellplates were removed and straightened, or straightened in place. A. great many ballast-tanks floors were cut, taken out, and straightened, and. several were faired in position. Running repairs were, carried out to the propelling and auxiliary machinery and steering-gear. The stern-tubes and bush were found to be fractured, but not sufficiently to make the vessel iinseaworthy. The tail-shaft was replaced by a spare tail-shaft to which the propeller-boss was properly fitted. A new nut was made for the stern-tube, and new lignum-vitso fitted into the bush. The vessel was in dock from the 26th March to 31st May, and the repairs were completed some four days under contract time. The work was carried on night and day continuously, and it cost approximately £14,000 to repair the vessel. 7. Survey of Government Vessels. The number of Government vessels surveyed during the year totalled sixteen, as follows : S.S. " Amokura," s.s. " Ben Lomond," s.s. " Earns'aw," s.s. " Hauraki," s.s. " Hinemoa," o.e.v. " Huia," o.e.v. " Irini," s.s. " Janie Seddon," s.s. " Lady Roberts," o.e.v. " Mororo," p.s. " Mountaineer," o.e.v. " Patiti," o.e.v. " P.W.D.," o.e.v. "Reremoana," s.s. " Tutanekai," and s.s. " Rama " (late H.M.S. " Torch "). S.S. " Rama."- -During the year'the Engmeer""Surveyors of the Department acted as Superintendents while this vessel was being refitted for sea for the Royal Navy. The work entailed in the refitting of the vessel was a complete overhaul, and renewals in every department of the vessel, and in addition extensive repairs to the auxiliary machinery in the engine and boiler room, including a, complete overhaul of the electric system throughout the vessel. The Commander's, officers', and crew's quarters were and all;internal fittings fitted up drawers, lockers, &c, which werelpolished and! painted. The''storerooms were all relined and painted, magazines rehired, and internal fittings replaced in position.*:* All lavatories, bathrooms, and sanitary conveniences received the necessary attention and repairs.

The work above deck included the overhaul, of all running-gea.r aloft, including the shipping of a new forestay 7 , new downalls and topping-lifts, reshipping the yards on foremast with new foot-ropes, and overhauling and oiling all blocks, arid shipping new falls. Boat-davits and blocks were overhauled and new falls fitted complete, lifeboats and steam-launch repaired, equipped, and placed under davits. A new mizzenmast and spanker-boom was made and shipped into position with rigging complete, all new ratlines fastened to lore, main, and mizzenmast, and decks caulked. The work was carried out to schedule time, and after steam trials of two hours the vessel was taken over by the naval authorities. S.S. " Tulanekai." -During the year this vessel was altered for mine-sweeping work. Minor alterations were carried out to the vessel at the after end, and lie' work of fitting the Aeticon minesweeping equipment was superintended by the Engineer Surveyors of the Department to the sa.tisFaction of the naval authorities. 8. Additional Steamers and Auxiliary-powered, Vessels surveyed for the First Time. There were fifty vessels surveyed during the year for the first time. None of them were of large tonnage. 9. Survey of Sailing-vessels. There were fifty-eight sailing-vessels surveyed during the year. Particulars of the repairs and alterations made to some of them are as follows :— Schooner " Alma." —At the annual survey of this vessel it was found necessary to reduce the working-pressure of the donkey boiler by 10 lb., owing to general deterioration. Barque " Dartford." —This vessel was formerly a hulk, and has now been reinstated as a, sailingvessel, barque-riggjd.- About five dozen holes were bored in the hull-plating to ascertain the thicknesses. The forecastle head was rebuilt. All framing on each side was renewed, and the joints were compensated with straps and reverse angles. Several hull-plates at the fore end were renewed, and new deck-beams were fitted and bracketed through the frames. New stringer plates and angles were fitted on each side, arid a heavy plate was fitted across two beams in way of the capstan. The bulwarks were, rebuilt. The poof) bulkhead was shifted to its original position and rebuilt to suit. The< hull-plating was extended to the new bulkhead.

11. Examination of Marine Engineers. These examinations have been fully maintained during the year, and have been held at the periods and places as set out in the book of regulations, but to suit the convenience of several candidates special examinations have been held at various places No friction has occurred in the conduct of the examinations ; also, the work has been done in a very efficient manner. It requires considerable tact in dealing with the candidates in the oral part of the examination to bring out the knowledge possessed by the candidate, so as to be fair both to the Examiner and to the applicant. New Zealand engineers on the whole are very apt pupils, and numbers have passed a capital examination in all subjects, which are now very numerous. This is necessary now, as the, absence of sails is very noticeable in steamships, and the engineer must be prompt in overcoming difficulties at sea,. One or two of the new standard ships visited New Zealand during the year ; they have for masts short poles just sufficient to carry a wireless equipment and the derricks. New Zealand engineers have done exceptionally good work during the war in all positions, and some of them have had bestowed upon them well-earned decorations. New Zealand has every reason to be, proud of her engineering sons. Examinations for certificates of competency were held at the following places throughout the Dominion : Auckland,* Wellington,* Christchurch,* Dunedin,* lnvercargill,* Hamilton,* Greymouth,* Timaru,* Napier,* Nelson,* Queenstown, Hokianga,* Russell,* Raglan, Picton,* Te Koporu,* Wanganui,* Wostport, Dargaville, Havelock,* Kawhia, Mangonui, Palmerston North, Parenga, Pembroke, Rotorua,, Awanui, Whangarei,* Whakatane, and Thames. The total number of applicants who sat for examination amounted to 277 ; of this number 240 passed their examinations and 37 failed. Examinations were held in the following grades : First-class marine engineer, second-class marine engineer, third-class marine engineer, river engineer for steam vessels, marine engine-driver, first-class marine engineer for auxiliary-powered vessels, second-class marine engineer for auxiliarypowered vessels, and river engineer for auxiliary-powered vessels. Quite a number of new examination papers were worked out at Head Office and circulated to the district offices. 12. Examination of Land, Engineers and Engine-drivers. Examinations were held at all the principal centres throughout the Dominion, and several examinations were held also in the country districts to meet with urgent requirements due to the exigencies of the war and for the convenience of various applicants and steam-users. A full list of places where examinations were held is as follows ; Auckland,* Blenheim, Christchurch,* Dunedin,* Featherston, Gisborne,* Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Havelock, Hokianga, lnvercargill,* Kaikoura, Kohukohu, Manaia, Martinborough,* Napier,* Nelson,* New Plymouth,* Opunake, Palmerston North,* Picton, Rotorua, Stratford,* Tauranga,* Te Rehunga*, Timaru*, Waipatiki*, 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 (steam), locomotive- and traction-engine drivers, locomotiveengine drivers, and traction-engine drivers. Reciprocal certificates were, issued to applicants from other States as follows : Canada, 1 ; New South Wales, 4 ; Queensland, I. The total who sat for these examinations was 446 ; of this number 88 failed. New examination-papers for all first-class engine-drivers' examinations were completed in Head Office, and at each quarterly examination throughout the year new papers were forwarded to all district offices. The questions are a good practical lest, and contain the knowledge necessary for applicants to become competent in their daily duties. 13. Examination of Electric-tram, Drivers. Examinations for electric-tram drivers' certificates were held at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, lnvercargill, Napier, New Plymouth, Wanganui, and Wellington. The, number who sat, for examination totalled 118, nine out of this number failing. Owing to the shortage of men through enlistment several, special examinations were held to suit the convenience of the tramway employees. As far as possible every application was met. 14. 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, and the Electrical Engineer of the Public Works Department, with Mr. J. G. Maepherson as Secretary, sat in Wellington on nine days during the year to issue certificates to candidates, and for other business with which the Board deals. Mr. Parry, Chief Electrical Engineer for the Government, who has been a member of the Hoard for some years, resigned in March. His successor.has not yet been appointed. 15. Districts and Inspectors. Changes in the Department were necessary during the year. Mr. Calvert, Senior Inspector of Machinery, retired on superannuation. Mr. Calvert was one of the Department's most valued officers, and had always held the esteem of the shipowners and steam-users throughout the Dominion. Mr. W. R. Douglas, of Napier, was promoted and transferred to Wellington to fill Mr. Calvert's place.

* Places at which examinations have been held more than once during the year.

Inspector P. J. Healy, who in 1916 joined up with the Royal Navy as Engineer Lieutenant, returned to New Zealand during the year and took up his duties in Head Office. Inspector J. H. Knowlcs, of Wanganui District, was lost at sea with all hands on the " Aurora " while on his way to Great Britain to join H.M. Navy. The late Mr. Knowlcs was an obliging and courteous officer to all he came in contact with. The late Inspectors Buckland and Pyke, of Invercargill and Palmerston North respectively, passed away during the year from the influenza epidemic. The former officer was at Trentham Military Camp at the time of his death and had completed his training for active, service, abroad. Both officers were widely respected. Messrs. A. E. Macindoe, W. Carson, J. Cable, and W. F. Mclntyre were appointed Inspectors of Machinery at Wellington, Auckland, Palmerston North, and Invercargill respectively, to fill the vacancies. A district office should be opened in the near future at New Plymouth. This district is growing rapidly, and should have an Inspector permanently stationed there. The appointment of the officer for North Auckland last year, with his office at Whangarei, has given great satisfaction. This Inspector has been able to overtake a great deal of the arrears of work that could not have been done with that district attached to the, main Auckland District. I have, &c, Robert Duncan, Chief Inspector of Machinery, Chief Surveyor of Ships, Chief Examiner of Marine Engineers, Land Engineers, Stationary-engine Drivers, and Electrictram Drivers. The Secretary, Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department, Wellington.

Devonport, Auckland W. Moderate The Court found that the casualty was due to the negligence of the master and 1st officer of the s.s. " Mako " in failing to see the light R. Fletcher. Of the " Seagull " in time to avert a collision. The lights on the " Seagull" were proper and sufficient, and when the collision was imminent she kept on her proper course, and > credit is due to her master for promptly realizing the position and successfully beaching his vessel. The Court ordered the F. R.

The C. Ormes. Court found the casualty was caused through error of judgment on the part of V the master of the " Weka " in entering the Hy. Anderson.

Caused through ignition of benzine fumes In attempting to berth in a congested area at night-time the " Onerahi" fouled the " Ranger's " bowsprit, breaking it off, and also damaging her own rigging When approaching the wharf the " Cygnet's " engine failed to go astern, and she ran into the stern of the "Wairau," damaging the latter's bulwarks The vessel was rolling heavily, and the anchor bumped a hole in the forepeak The master of the "Cooee" attempted to cross the bow of the " Kaitangata," but, finding he could not do so, altered his course, and fouled the port quarter of the steamer, breaking his bowsprit, and sustaining other damage Cable parted in heavy weather, and vessel drifted ashore Fire amongst cargo; cause unknown.

Andrews ; 60 years | 23/5/18 Joyce's body was found lying on top of the lift, with his legs dangling clear, and his bod} - was held in this position by a bale of demin 3i cwt. in weight, which was lying across his face. How he got into this position is a mystery. 8/8/18 It appears that Spencer was at the time either reaching over the counter shaft, which was in motion, or else had taken a sudden fainting fit. He fell across the shaft when a set screw caught his vest-pocket. His vest and shirt tightened round the shaft and he was eventually choked. 12/8/18 Manson was adjusting a belt on a pulley when his coat-sleeve was caught between the belt and the pulley, and he was pulled round the shaft and was thrown with great force 12 ft. away. His right leg was broken and was afterwards amputated, but the shook caused his death later. 10/9/18 It is presumed that the deceased mistook the floor the lift was on. He stepped into empty space and fell to the bottom of the lift-well and was killed. 12/9/18 A skip of coal was being hoisted when Lancaster, who was operating the bull rope, became entangled in it. He signalled to the winchman to lower, which he did. In lowering Lancaster somehow got under the skip and was pinned to the ground. He received such injuries to his head, chest, and back as to cause his death five days afterwards. 25/9/18 It is thought, that Miss Downie went under the table to get something. Her hair was caught by the shafting, which was in motion under the table, causing dislocation of neck and the scalp was torn off her head. 7/10/18 A fan which had just been erected was being tested when Vernon was struck by one of the blades of the fan and killed. 21/11/18 The cause of this accident is not known. When the body was found it was caught between two wheels of the winch. Wrightson had either fallen in between the wheels or his clothes had been caught by them and so drawn him in. 30/1/19 The locomotive Adams was on went off the line and capsized. In the fall the steam -pipe carried away. Adams was severely scalded by the steam and he died from shock. 16/2/19 Andrews was in the act of starting the engine when his right foot got into the spokes of the fly-wheel. He lost his balance and his body was drawn in by the wheel. His neck was broken and caused his death. G. A.
