The Secretary, Marine and Inspection or Machinery Department, to the Hon. the Minister of Marine. # Marine and Inspection of Machinery Department, Sir,— Wellington, 30th June, 1921. I have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March, 1921. The different activities and services of the Department have been kejJt going during the year. I consider that the staff as a whole has endeavoured to maintain the high standard of efficiency gained by the Department. The work of the Department being largely of a technical nature, the staff has to keep abreast of the times with new improvements and scientific details so as to modernize the service from time to time. This applies more especially to shipping-surveys, lighthouse equipments and appliances, and to land machinery-construction work, with which the Department largely deals. Since the Great War finished, the Board of Trade in Great Britain has introduced many improvements, and that body has simplified conditions in many directions. The rules emanating from that body are adopted as our principal guide when dealing with the construction of ships and the installation of propelling-machinery to drive them. Shipbuilding has not altogether been stagnant in New Zealand during the year, as there were several wooden vessels under construction, for which auxiliary power is to be installed of the oilengine pattern. There are several very creditable oil-engines suitable for marine purposes now made in New Zealand, and I am hopeful that their manufacture will increase. For land purposes as a motive power many hundreds of oil-engines are made in New Zealand every year, and the oil-engine has become the farmers' and the small manufacturers' friend : it is such a useful engine for intermittent or for continuous use, and it can be made a portable motive power very readily. In this respect it has been a great labour-saver in remote districts where man-power has been scarce. The oil-engine has been almost universally used for propelling launches and other small craft in New Zealand waters. Throughout the world there has been a remarkably rapid development of the heavy oil-engine. The design of these engines has been much improved, and the disadvantages of the oil-engine compared with the steam-engine have been correspondingly decreased. In Great Britain several large engineering firms, accustomed to the construction of marine steam-engines of first-class workmanship and of the highest power, have turned their attention to the construction of the large marine oilengine. A vessel of 12,000 tons recently launched for the Bibby line of steamships, named the " Somersetshire," has two sets of six-cylinder oil-engines fitted, each set of 2,250 indicated horse-power. Nearly all the large shipping companies are following in the same direction, and the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand has also a large vessel being built and engined with oil machinery as a motive power. In Wellington the first hulk in New Zealand fitted out to store oil for ship consumption has been placed in commission. The hulk carries 2,000 tons. Shore tanks to carry large quantities of oil fuel are now in course of erection and equipment. These are being built of steel, and are placed near wharves. The oil can be either pumped into the tanks for storage or from the tanks into the vessels using oil as a fuel. A keen competitor of the motor-ship is the steamship propelled by geared turbine machinery in which oil. replaces coal as a fuel. The Department requires that the engines of motor-vessels shall be in charge of properly qualified engineers. Throe classes of certificates are issued—one for vessels plying in restricted limits, and two for seagoing vessels, the class of certificate in the latter case being governed by the vessel's horsepower. Amendments have been made to the Deck-cargo Regulations as regards the carriage of coal and timber and other approved cargo under special conditions. Amendments have been made to the General Harbour Regulations in respect to the carriage of petroleum on vessels. The carriage of petroleum has been rather a tough proposition to settle, and, as this substance is of a very inflammable nature, the greatest care had to be taken in the framing of these regulations. All interested parties were consulted, and a Minister of the Crown lent very helpful aid while the regulations were being framed and discussed. Great care has been also exercised by the Engineer-Surveyors to see that bulkheads in ships are tight and deck-spaces suitable before they issued to the owners of ships their permits for the carriage of petroleum. With slight alterations these regulations have worked admirably. New rules have been adopted for the design and construction of marine boilers. In my last report I referred to the changes in the rules, but at that time it was only known approximately what the changes would be. The complete rules have now come to hand from the Board of Trade. The rules were framed at a conference attended by representatives of the Board of Trade, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, British Corporation for the Survey and Registry of Shipping, and the Bureau Veritas International Registry of Shipping. They follow closely on the lines recommended by the British Marine-engine Design and Construction Committee, and have been recommended by the conference for adoption by the various societies represented at the conference. The unification of rules for boilerdesign and the adoption of the standard rules will do away with a great deal of the confusion and

H.-15

anxiety which, has existed in the past with respect to boiler-pressures. The Department, up to the year 1909, determined the safe working-pressure of all marine boilers from the Board of Trade Rules. The Board of Trade Rules, however, are only compulsory in Great Britain for the boilers of vessels carrying more than twelve passengers ; consequently most of the cargo-boats coming here had boilers built to Lloyd's rules or the rules of some other private surveying body. The pressures granted by these societies were generally higher than would have been allowed by the Board of Trade Rules. Having regard, therefore, to the freedom from explosion of the boilers of cargo-ships, the Department agreed to accept special scantlings as sufficient for these boilers. With the standardization of the rules all boilers of equal pressures will have equal or heavier scantlings. It is surprising, when one thinks of the practical benefits of standardization, that it has taken so many years to frame standard rules. The rules which we now have are no doubt the result of the getting-together of specialists in engineering-design to assist the Empire in the late war. Uniformity of design was one of the means used for the speedy building of ships. The rules for determining the diameters of shafts for internal-combustion engines for marine purposes will be applied to all engines constructed after the Ist July, 1921. In August last copies of the rules were forwarded to the District Inspectors of Machinery, who are also Surveyors of Ships, for distribution to engine-builders, &c, and to others to whom the rules are of special interest, to enable them to make timely arrangements to comply with the rules. The question as to how often propeller-shafts of steamships should be withdrawn for examination has recently been under consideration. The practice heretofore has been to withdraw them every two years. In future only those shafts not having continuous liners fitted will require to be withdrawn every two years. Shafts with continuous liners are to be withdrawn every three years. New regulations have ( been received from the Board of Trade dealing with the bilge-pumping arrangements in passenger-steamships. The new regulations arc to be substituted for paragraphs 80 to 83 of the " Instructions as to the Survey of Passenger-steamships " issued in 1913, and are to be considered as forming part of these instructions. Every passenger-steamship whose keel is laid after the Ist January, 1921, is required to comply fully with these instructions. The rules apply to foreigngoing ships, home-trade ships, motor-ships, and open launches. Detailed instructions are given respecting the following matters : Arrangement of bilge-pipes, diameter of bilge suction-pipes, valves, cocks, &c, mud-boxes and strum-boxes, sounding pipes and pumps. Main bilge suction-pipes arc required to be not less than 2\ in. bore, and no branch pipe is to be less than 2 in. in bore or need be more than 4 in. bore. For small vessels employed in the home trade a concession is allowed in the minimum size of pipes; the diameter of pipes is determined from a formula taking into consideration the length and breadth of the vessel, the moulded depth of the bulkhead deck, and the length of the compartment. Survey of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered Vessels. Seven hundred and thirty-two steamships and auxiliary-powered vessels were surveyed. Only one vessel of over 25 tons gross was completed in the Dominion this year. This vessel is the ketch " Motu," a light-draught scow built to carry cargo below hatches. Her dimensions are 99T ft. in length by 24-9 ft. breadth and 7-6 ft. depth. Her gross tonnage is 197 and her register tonnage 169. The hull is diagonally lined. The lining and outer planking are of kauri sheathed with totara. New propelling-engines were fitted into twenty-five vessels. Sixty-six vessels had new tail-shafts, six had new stern-tubes, fourteen had new propellers, four had new propeller-blades, and one had a new propeller-boss fitted. In six vessels new crank-shafts or parts of new crank-shafts had to be fitted. Two vessels had new donkey-boilers installed, and the donkey-boilers of three vessels had to be reduced in pressure. The working-pressure of the main boiler of one vessel was reduced on account of the propeller-shaft, which was found to be too small to carry the boiler-pressure. Three vessels were converted from sailing-vessels to oil-engine vessels, and one vessel from a steam-vessel to an oil-engine vessel. The particulars of the repairs carried out to a few vessels are as follows : — S.s. " Ahuriri." —This vessel's hull was repaired as follows : Sheathing-plates were riveted on the forefoot, starboard side, 3 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 6 in. by -fe in., and on the starboard bilge amidships 8 ft. by 2 ft. 6 in. by in.

Thirty fathoms of new stud-link chain cable was placed on board the vessel. New running-gear was rove forward, and all. rigging lanyards were taken adrift, tarred, and set up again. A new boat was placed on board the vessel. S.s. " Jean Gordon." —This wooden vessel, which was previously named " Traveller," has been thoroughly overhauled. The engines and boiler were removed to enable this to be done. All wormeaten portions of the hull were cut out. A new keelson was fitted for nearly the whole length of the vessel; ten new floors were also fitted. The hull outside was stripped, and caulked, felted, and sheathed with totara from the keel to the water-line. The keel was coppered and then sheathed with totara. A new propeller-shaft was fitted. S.s. " John Anderson." —This vessel received an extensive overhaul. Ten new hull-plates were put in on the port side and six on the starboard side. New tie-plates were fitted, 11 ft. 6 in. long, at the starboard side of the engine and boiler house. The bottom, plating of the engine and boiler house was cut out and new plates were fitted. A new skylight, 2 ft. wider than the previous one, has been erected over the engine-space. Several gusset-plates and angle-bars in the bunkers were renewed.

The vessel has been employed continuously during the year on the usual lighthouse work and the cleaning and painting of buoys in the various harbours. Additional Steamers and Auxiliary-powered Vessels surveyed for the First Time. Fifty-three vessels were surveyed for the first time during the year. Some of these vessels are of fairly large tonnage and engaged in the overseas trade. Survey of Sailing-vessels. The number of sailing-vessels surveyed this year is fifty-five. The more important repairs carried out to some of them are set out in the following notes : — Schooner " Cathkit." —The hull of this wooden vessel was strengthened with thirty-six angle braces, forty struts 6 in. by 6 in. fitted under bearers, and with one piece of timber 29 ft. by 6 in. by 5 in. on the starboard side, and one piece 39 ft. by 6 in. by 5 in. on the port side and fitted on top of the beam-struts ; 34 ft. of 12 in. by 3 in. timber was fitted on each side forward, and twelve pieces, averaging 25 ft. long, were fitted in the partitions aft. Five 1| in. tie-bolts were fitted through the hull from side to side, and fifty-six | in. bolts were fitted through the covering-boards from the fore rigging to the break of the poop. Six deck-planks were renewed. The donkey-boiler was opened up and cleaned, and new bolts were fitted to all sludge-hole doors. New gauge-glass mountings were also fitted. The winch and windlass were overhauled, and also the equipment. The standard compass was repaired and adjusted.

Ketch " Comet." —This wooden vessel was placed on the slip and the following repairs were made : Both sister-keelsons were renewed, and also the false keel; fifteen strengthening-timbers were fitted where the old timbers were weak ; 14 ft. of covering-board on the port side and the ceiling in the hold were renewed ; thirty planks in the hull were renewed, and the hull below the water-line was sheathed throughout with f in. planking. The vessel was recaulked throughout. A new rudderhead was fitted. All the vessel's running-gear was renewed. After an extensive overhaul the vessel is now in good condition. Ketch " Huon Belle." —On the port side of this wooden vessel three timbers and 52 ft. of planking were renewed, and 6 ft. of planking on the starboard side. The hull-sheathing was removed and the seams of the hull caulked. Several deck-planks and the forward end of the hatch-coamings were renewed. A new rudder-stock was fitted, and defective steering-chain renewed. Barquentine " Laura." —Several new fastenings were fitted, in this vessel's hull, including the forward ends of the garboard planking. A stringer of jarrah, 78 ft. by 9 in. by 6 in., was fitted to both sides of the vessel and fastened through the deck-beams and ship's sides. About 21 in. of the end of the mizzenmast, which was rotten, was cut off, and a new step and heel-band were fitted. The donkey-boiler was taken ashore and the lum-leg was repaired. The wasted parts of the fireboxcrown were built up. Two sludge-hole compensating-rings were rerivcted. A new steam-gauge and gauge-glass mountings were fitted. The boiler was tested by hydraulic pressure. A new capstan was fitted, and the steering-gear was thoroughly overhauled. The buoyancy-tank of the lifeboat was repaired. Barquentine " Lindstol." —This wooden vessel was surveyed for the first time in New Zealand this year. The hull was bored in various places to ascertain the condition of the timbers. The bottom was stripped and caulked and chunamed, felted, and resheathed with 5 in. by 1J in. totara. A new mizzentopmast and foretopmast were shipped. The hatchway fore-and-afters were ironshod, and the hatch-rests increased in width to comply with the regulations. The pumps were tested and found efficient. The provision-tank in the lifeboat was replenished. Schooner " Saucy Kate." —3s ft. of the sister-keelsons and 28 ft. of the bilge-stringers were renewed. New steps were fitted under both masts. Two beams were reinforced. Nearly all the hull-sheathing was renewed. The hull-planking was refastened and caulked. Six new chain-plates were fitted, and new bolts were put in all the chain-plates. The sails were sent ashore and were overhauled. A cargo-gin and wire runner were renewed. Registration of Shipping. On the 31st December last there were on the register in the Dominion 163 sailing-vessels, of 23,334 tons register, and 384 steamers, of 64,837 tons register. At the end of the previous year there were 174 sailing-vessels, of 22,216 tons, and 382 steamers, of 64,943 tons. The number of seamen and boys employed on board was 3,270, as compared with 3,292 at the end of 1918. Certificates of Survey. Certificates have been granted to 250 steamers, 412 oil-ongined vessels, and 55 sailing-vessels. For the previous year 314 steamers, 464 oil-engined vessels, and 59 sailing-vessels were granted certificates of survey. Attached is a return of the vessels to which certificates have been issued. Breaches of the Shipping and Seamen Acts. Seven convictions were recorded during the year in prosecutions for broaches of the Shipping and Seamen Acts. Examination of Marine Engineers. Examinations for certificates of competency as marine engineers were hold at the following places throughout the Dominion during the year : Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Hamilton, Greymouth, Timaru, Napier, Nelson, Queenstown, Hokianga, Russell, To Kopuru, Wanganui, Whangarei, Thames, Gisborne, Tauranga, Takaka, Palmerston North, New Plymouth, Half-moon Bay, Rotorua, and Te Aroha. The total number of applicants who sat for examination was 414. Of these, 380 passed their examinations and 34 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, first-class.marine engineer for auxiliary-powered vessels, second-class marine engineer for auxiliary-powered vessels, and restrictedlimits engineer for auxiliary-powered vessels. A return giving names of successful candidates is appended. Examination of Masters and Mates. The number of candidates who sat totalled 107; of this number 46 failed. A return of successful candidates is appended. The examinations for masters and mates are carried out in Auckland by Captain Whitoford, the Examiner who is stationed there ; at Wellington by Captain Hooper ; and at Lyttolton by Captain Hooper, who goes there for the purpose when required. The following report on the work of examination of masters and mates is made by Capta n G. S. Hooper, Principal Examiner]: — " The examinations of masters and mates have been carried out at Auckland, Wellington, and Lyttelton —at the former port by the Examiner stationed at that place, at Wellington generally by myself, and at Lyttelton by an Examiner visiting that place when necessary to do so.

H.—ls! " The total number of candidates examined during the year was ninety-three, of whom fiftyfour were for foreign-going certificates and twenty-nine for home-trade certificates. There were also ten candidates for local limited certificates, and sixty-two candidates for sight-test examinations. The following percentages of failures occurred : Foreign-going, 49 per cent. ; home trade, 52 per cent. ; river limits, 50 per cent. ; and sight-tests 12 per cent. " During the year there have been six examinations held for the extra-masters' certificates. As this examination calls for extensive knowledge it is not surprising that only one candidate was successful in passing the examination. " Five candidates failed in the colour-vision test, one of whom was subsequently allowed a special examination by the Department, the result of which confirmed the decision of the Examiner who conducted the first examination. The examinations appear to be conducted similarly to those carried out in Great Britain by the Board of Trade, with the exception of the signalling portion, which will be brought up to date as soon as the automatic-signalling lamps arrive from England." Deceased Seamen's Estates. The estates of sixty deceased seamen, amounting to £1,083 9s. lid., have come into the hands of the Department during the year, and, including estates previously received, forty have been finally administered. A statement is appended showing the estates dealt with and those outstanding. The sum of £75 ss. has been paid into the consolidated, revenue for estates unclaimed for over six years. Wrecks and Casualties. Seventy-eight inquiries, involving eighty-three vessels, have been held during the year, of which sixty-three were preliminary and fifteen Magisterial. Those on or near the coast of the Dominion were seventy-five, of 76,259 tons register, as compared with sixty-three, of 54,778 tons, for the previous year. The number of lives lost was thirty-one, as compared with nineteen, in the previous year. Of these, seventeen were; lost in the auxiliary schooner " Jubilee " and four in the auxiliary schooner " Kahu " (both vessels wore supposed to have foundered), six in the capsizing of the auxiliary schooner " Omaka," one in the boiler-explosion on the p.s. " Clutha," and one in the stranding of the " Te Teko." The second officer of the s.s. " Rimu " was carried overboard by a heavy sea and drowned, and a passenger on the s.s. " Monowai " disappeared and is presumed to have been lost overboard. A return is appended showing the casualties and an analysis thereof. 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 their duties. 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 23,125, and the number discharged 22,904. The fees received amounted to £3,473 15s. 9d. During the previous year the engagements were 21,094 and the discharges 20,553, the amount of fees being £2,809 15s. The transactions at the principal ports were : — Fees. Engagements.

Bd. for the previous year. i 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 Bollons, of the s.s. " Hinemoa." He has also attended to the coastal buoys and beacons during the vessel's periodical lighthouse trips. 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 £1,009 16s. 4d. was collected for pilotage and port charges in respect of harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £783 3s. 3d. 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. Appended is a report by the Marine Engineer on the works dealt with by him during the year.

Lighthouses. The duties connected with the maintenance of the various lighthouses have been satisfactorily carried out during the year. The permanent staff has been restored, to its pre-war strength. A new crane has been erected at Stephen Island. New winches have been installed at Cape Maria van Diemen to work the overhead conveyer between the island and the mainland, and new dwellings are now in course of erection. Captain Bollons, master of the s.s. " Hinemoa," has inspected and reported on the various stations. I desire to place on record the great assistance which I have at all times received from him in lighthouse matters. During the year one keeper retired on superannuation, three were transferred to another Department, four resigned, and eight new keepers were appointed to fill, vacancies. Issue of Explosives. During the year 118 permits were issued at the Port of Wellington for the carriage of explosives on ships. Meteorological and Weather Office. The work of this division has been well maintained during the past year. The following is the report of the Director on the work : — " The work of the Weather Bureau has been carried on as usual during the past year. Every morning reports and forecasts are telegraphed to all the chief towns and ports of the Dominion, and in the evening reports and forecasts are issued to the Press Association for the morning papers. - " Weather-reporting is chiefly in the hands of telegraphic officers, who send in their reports at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. These arc forwarded with unfailing regularity and promptitude, and serve as a basis for the forecast. The keen interest and willing co-operation taken in the work by the Telegraph Department secures efficiency; and therefore, although this system of weather-reporting has long been abandoned in many parts of the world, there is, I am pleased to say, no need to advocate a change in this Dominion. " The postponement of the scheme of district weather-reporting until better times is a disappointment ; but partial equipment of reporting-stations at Awanui and Awarua would be of assistance, especially as we have to send out estimated barometric readings with the usual radio weather-fore-casts. The full equipment of the wireless stations at Awanui and Awarua, mentioned in last year's report, will, when accomplished, prove of great service in general forecast, particularly if wireless telephony is made available for weather-reporting. " The work of the Meteorological Office rests mainly upon the voluntary labours of a small army of observers scattered throughout the Dominion. Upon their records, of the rainfall especially, depend great enterprises which are of immense importance to the Dominion, and it is impossible to overestimate their responsibilities with regard to engineering, hydro-electricity, agriculture, &c, to say nothing of future possibilities with regard to what may be based upon reliable records of the past. This speaks well for the patriotic and scientific spirit of the observers, who in the majority of cases have done so much to promote the knowledge of our climate —one of the chief assets of this Dominion. A few of the records have ceased through unavoidable removal of observers and other causes ; but various new stations have been added during the year, and we have further utilized the supply of rain-gauges from the electrical branch of the Public Works Department in this direction. A large increase in stations is, however, necessary in order that more thorough rainfall-survey of New Zealand may be made. " We have now thirty climatological stations at work over the Dominion, and their work has been on the whole satisfactorily carried on, in spite of difficulties chiefly brought about by lack of necessary instruments to replace those out of order and to more fully equip stations requiring them. There has not yet been any sign of a decrease in the price of meteorological instruments. " There have been no changes in the staff during the past year." Fisheries. A very complete and instructive report made by Mr. L. F. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, is attached, giving full information on the work of his division for the last twelve months. Attached also is an interesting report made by Mr. G. M. Thomson, chairman of the Portobello Fish-hatchery. Fifteen convictions were recorded during the year in prosecutions for breaches of the Fisheries Act. Work done under the Inspection of Machinery Act. The Engineer-Surveyors of Ships and the Examiners of Marine Engineers appointed under the Shipping and Seamen Act also act as Inspectors of Machinery, examiners of extra first-class engineers, examiners of engine-drivers (both stationary and locomotive engines), examiners of winding-engine drivers for collieries and mines—all under the Inspection of Machinery Act. They also act as examiners of electric-tramway motormen under the Tramways Act. New Boilers inspected. I have again to report a large increase this year in the number of new boilers inspected. There are signs of a revival in the overseas trade in boilers. Many inquiries have been received from overseas firms concerning designs of boilers they propose making for New Zealand. The imported boiler generally forms part of a machine or plant not manufactured in New Zealand, such as tractionengines, road-rollers, steam-shovels, steam-wagons, steam motor-cars, &c. A few of the imported

boilers are, however, of a special design suitable for installing with any steam plant. Progress in the matter of design is evident in the locomotive and traction types of boiler. One firm is making a corrugated or grooved form of flat plate which is self-supporting and does not require staying. Another firm is dispensing with the stayed construction by forming such plates as were usually flat in the form of cylinders or portions of cylinders. Every stay or other hole in a boiler is a potential source of leakage and consequent corrosion. Such construction should prolong the life of the boiler and facilitate the cleaning of the internal surfaces. Local firms continue to make numbers of boilers for dairy factories, freezing-works, &c. Some of these boilers of the multitubular underfirod type are of large size, 70 and 85 nominal horse-power. During the year replies have been received from some twenty-six firms in Great Britain and America in answer to requests for particulars of the ship and boiler material manufactured by them. This information has now been printed on a sheet in a handy form for reference ; the sheet shows the class of material manufactured, by the different firms, the brands used to distinguish the various classes of plates, &c., the position, of the brands, and any other information of interest which was received. The number of new boilers inspected during the year was 347 ; 162 of these were made in the Dominion and 185 were imported. The following table gives the districts in which the new boilers were installed, their horse-power, and also states whether they were made in the Dominion or imported . —

Inspection of Boilers. The number of boilers inspected this year totals 7,746. This shows an increase of 473 on the number inspected last year. The total number of defects in boilers was 1,592, and of this number 334 were very dangerous. No boiler-explosion occurred during the year, which shows the efficiency of close inspection made by reliable and competent practical men. In October last year it was reported that a fly-wheel of an engine had exploded. The fly-wheel was attached and formed part of a steam-engine plant driven by steam generated by a steam-boiler. The damage was estimated at £13,000. It is not generally realized how dangerous fly-wheels are, and a few remarks concerning them may be useful to steam-users having no technical knowledge of them. The most common cause of fly-wheels bursting is from an increase of speed due to defective governors or valve-gears. The main stresses in a fly-wheel are the result of the centrifugal force of the rim due to the speed at which the fly-wheel revolves. There is no possible way of overcoming these stresses. If the sectional area of the rim is increased to make a stronger rim the centrifugal force is increased likewise, because of the added weight of the rim, and the wheel is no stronger than before. There is a definite speed at which any wheel will explode, however sound, and regardless of the amount of material it contains. This theory is a mathematical truth, and has often, been verified by practice. Cast-iron wheels cast in one piece should not be run at a greater peripheral speed than a mile a minute. For built-up wheels the speed should be much less, and according to the design of the rimjoints; some rim-joints have a strength equal to 25 per cent, only of the solid rim. The stresses in a revolving fly-wheel increase as the square of the specd —that is to say, if the speed attains double the normal speed the stresses will be four times the normal stresses. This rapid increase of stress due to speed is the reason why wheels amply safe at ordinary running-speeds go to pieces without warning and cause such destruction. Fly-wheels are ordinarily made of cast iron, and require to be thoroughly examined periodically for flaws and defects. Steam-users should see that all governor and valve gear is kept in first-class condition, so that the danger of the engine running away is minimized. A fly-wheel merely averages the speed of an engine during one revolution, and prevents violent changes in the rate of motion in that time. The number of revolutions per minute can only

be controlled by the governor; it prevents any permanent change in the speed. A fly-wheel cannot prevent an engine running away, but a governor can, and it is necessary that it and all the gear and the belting should be maintained in first-class order and condition. At the end of the year all boilers had not been inspected that were due. Inspection of Gas-, Oil-, Water-, and Electric-driven Machinery, including Lifts. In this branch of the Department's work a large increase has to be recorded. During the year 20,807 inspections were made, which is an increase of 2,256 compared with last year's figures. AfT the end of the year there were still a number uninspected. Fencing and Guarding of Machinery. The whole of the machinery driven by prime movers has been thoroughly examined to see that sufficient protection was afforded those working in and around such plants. The great point aimed at always has been to fence and guard all the dangerous parts, so as not to destroy the efficiency of the machinery. There were issued 1,759 notices to fence and to guard machinery, and of this number 352 were considered very dangerous cases. Action was taken to eliminate the danger in the use of square-bead buzz planers by converting them into round heads. This alteration will have a marked effect in the safety of those working with this machinery. Examination of Land Engineers and Engine-drivers. These examinations were held at the principal centres throughout the Dominion, and special examinations were also held at other places to suit the convenience of applicants. The full list of places where examinations were held is as follows : Auckland,* Bleinheim,* Carterton, Christchurch,* Dannevirke, Dunedin,* Gisborne,* Greymouth,* Greytown,* Hamilton,* Hokitika, Invercargill,* Kaingaroa, Karamea, Martinborough, Mastorton, Napier,* Nelson,* New Plymouth,* Ngatapa, Norsewood, Opunake, Otaki, Pahiatua, Palmerston North,* Puponga, Reefton, Takapau, Taumarunui, Tauranga,* To Kopuru, Timaru,* Waiuku, Wanganui,* Wellington,* Westport,* and Whangaruru.* The examinations held were for extra first-class engineers, first-class engine-drivers, second-class engine-drivers, winding-engine drivers (steam and electric), locomotive- and traction-engine drivers, locomotive-engine drivers, and traction-engine drivers. Reciprocal certificates were issued to applicants from other States as follows : England, 1 : New South Wales, 1 ; United States of America, 3 : total, 5. The number who sat for the examinations total 488 ; of this number ninety-six failed to pass their examinations. New examination-papers for all first-class engine-drivers' examinations were prepared in Head Office, and at each quarterly examination throughout the year neyv papers were forwarded to all district offices. The questions set were,a good practical test of the candidates' knowledge, and contain the information necessary for the applicants to become competent in their daily duties. The appended return gives the names, &c, of successful candidates. Examination of Electrical-tramway Drivers. All those who applied for examination and who had the necessary qualifications were examined. This examination includes a practical test on the car itself under ordinary and emergency conditions. Examinations were held at Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Invercargill, Napier, Wanganui, and Wellington. The number who sat for examination totalled 165. Nine out of this number failed. More than one examination was held at the places named, excepting Napier. Special examinations were also held to suit the convenience of the tramway service, as requested, throughout the Dominion. The appended return gives the names of those who passed. Board of Examiners appointed under the Inspection of Machinery Act. The Board of Examiners, consisting of the Chief Inspector of Machinery of the Marine and Inspection Department, the Engineer-in-Chief and the Resident Engineer of the Public Works Department, the Inspecting Engineer of the Mines Department, and the Chief Electrical Engineer of the Public Works Department, with Mr. J. G. Macpherson as secretary, sat at Wellington on eight days during the year. Mr. R. W. Holmes, late Engineer-in-Chief and Secretary of the Public Works Department, retired from the. Public Service last year and from this Board. Mr. Holmes sat as a member of this Board on many occasions, and his discussions and decisions at all times were very helpful and of great service in deciding on any points in dispute. Mr. F. W. Furkert, who succeeded Mr. Holmes as Engineer-in-Chief and Secretary of the Public Works Department, was appointed a member of the Board, and also Mr. C. I. McKenzie, the Assistant Engineer of the Public Works Department. The Board dealt with all matters that came before it, and issued all the necessary certificates to successful applicants. During the year a district office was opened at Gisborne. This district is growing rapidly, and the stationing of an Inspector there has saved many trips that used to be made from Napier by the Inspector stationed at Napier. The change has been much appreciated by land-machinery owners and the shipping people in the Gisborne district. I have, &c, Robert Duncan, The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington. Secretary, Chief Surveyor of Ships, and Chief Inspector of Machinery.

The Chief Inspector of Fisheries to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir, — Marine Department, Wellington, 29th July, 1921. 1 have the honour to present the following report on the fisheries of the Dominion for the year ended. 31st March, 1921 : The following fishing-ports and fishing-grounds were visited by me during the year, viz. : Whangaroa, Bay of Islands, Whangarei, Kaipara, Hauraki Gulf, Great Barrier, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, Cook Strait, Marlborough Sounds, Picton, Kaikoura, Kaiapoi, Lyttelton, Timaru, Oamaru, Moeraki, Port Chalmers, Invercargill, and Bluff. I inspected the oyster-beds at Whangaroa and Kaipara once, and the oyster-beds at Bay of Islands, Whangarei, Great Barrier, and Hauraki Gulf twice during the year, and supervised the oyster-cultivation work at the commencement of the work on the Coromandel coast. I also made three visits to the salmon-hatchery at Hakataramea, and supervised and assisted in repairs to the Department's temporary hatchery at Pembroke. The reports received from the Collectors of Customs and Inspectors of Fisheries show that, in comparison to the previous year, there has been a substantial increase in the quantity and value of fish landed during the year. The weather conditions have been favourable, particularly during the summer months, for fishing, and on most of the fishing-grounds fish have been plentiful. In the Auckland District large catches of snapper, mullet, tarakihi, and flounder have been made. In Hawke's Bay very good catches were made by trawlers throughout the year, flat fish being particularly plentiful from October to March ; and the reports with regard to the fishing-grounds in the Wellington, Marlborough Sounds, Kaikoura, Canterbury, and Otago Districts are equally favourable. The high price of benzine, nets, and all other fishing-gear comes hard on fishermen, for, although they are now getting a somewhat higher price for their fish, yet this increase, they claim, is not in proportion to the increase in their working-expenses. This in turn influences the quantity of fish marketed, as fishermen will go out only when the conditions are favourable for making payable catches. Fishermen report that the largest shoals of pilchard which have been seen on the east coast for a good, many years made their appearance in February last. They wore reported as having been seen at different parts along the coast from Cook Strait to Oamaru. The total quantity of fish brought in from the fishing-grounds during the year was about 241,072 cwt. ; its wholesale value, including crayfish and whitebait, was about £344,333 lis. The total quantity of oysters taken off the beds, including Foveaux Strait and the northern rockoysters, last season was 33,218 sacks, the wholesale value of which was £22,657. The quantity and value of whale-oil and other products from the whaling-stations was 478 tons oil, 80 tons bonedust, and 100 gallons spermaceti, valued at £19,307 : the total value for the year being about £386,297 lis. Rock-oysters. Owing to the difficulty in getting oyster-pickers for the Hauraki Gulf beds the sale of oysters did not commence until the Ist June, 1920, and on account of a shortage of pickers later on the season closed on the 14th October. The total quantity picked during this short season was 6,797 sacks, representing a value of £5,968 9s. The beds picked were those at Bay of Islands, Kaipara, Port Fitzroy, and part of the beds in the Hauraki Gulf. The demand for oysters throughout the season was very great, and the supply coming forward was never equal to market requirements. For the purpose of extending the beds oyster-cultivation work on a more extensive scale than in any previous season was carried out during the months of January, February, and March. The method which I have recommended the Department to adopt is the building of hollow rock walls in well-sheltered and otherwise suitable bays. These walls are built principally of clean rock obtained at and above high-water mark, and they extend from near the top of the oyster-line down to low water.- This method is the most economical, besides being permanent. Last summer six men were employed on this work at Bay of Islands and Whangarei, four at Tekumu Bay, Coromandel coast, and four at Port Fitzroy. At Bay of Islands 3,606 yards of walls wore built, 394 at Whangarei, 733 at Coromandel, and 566 at Port Fitzroy—making a total of 5,299 yards, or rather more than three miles. There is a yearly shrinkage, from several causes, in the extent of our natural rock-oyster beds, and the continual increase in the number of people who frequent the shores of the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands causes a considerable yearly shrinkage in the quantity of oysters which can be taken from the beds for market. At no time during the last twenty years has the supply of oysters been sufficient for market requirements, and on account of the increase in population of late years it is safe to say that the market at the present time could absorb three times ,the quantity which can be obtained from the present beds. The necessity for extending the beds by artificial methods is thus apparent. Inspectors Bennett and Flinn and assistants have carried out their duties, both with regard to the protection of the beds and supervising the oyster-cultivation work, in a most satisfactory manner. Foveaux Strait Oyster-beds. The Inspector at Bluff reports that during the past season the oysters were plentiful on the beds and in excellent condition. The quantity dredged from the beds last season was 26,703 sacks, valued at £16,689. The quantity sold in the Dominion was 24,848 sacks, valued at £15,470, and the quantity exported to Melbourne was 1,855 sacks, valued at £1,219. I have not been able to get out on to these beds for a considerable time, but will endeavour to make an inspection of several of the beds before this dredging season closes.

Quinnat Salmon. The run of salmon last season (1920) showed a considerable increase on the two previous seasons. In the early part of the spawning season the prospects of a good run were not at all encouraging, and on that account it was not considered advisable to incur the expense of sending a gang of men to the up-country rivers to collect eggs. The Hakataramea River was unusually low all through the season, and practically no salmon entered that river, but a lot of large fish spawned in branches of the Waitaki, below where the Hakataramea joins that river. Fifty thousand eggs were taken from fish netted in these branches. Reports were received late in the season that large numbers of fish were spawning in the Ahuriri and rivers beyond the head of Lake Ohau. The manager from Hakataramea and an assistant made an inspection of these rivers and found them full of salmon, most of them spent fish, but it was then too late to collect eggs. A number of salmon went up the Clutha River last season, and spawned in the Clutha above Cromwell and in tributaries of Wanaka Lake. This season (1921) there has been a very large run of salmon in the Waitaki and Rangitata Rivers, and a good many went up the Clutha again this season. The first salmon were seen in the Waitaki River on the 23rd December, 1920, but it was not until the 19th January that the first was caught by anglers. From that date on to the 6th April they were taken in considerable numbers. The work of collecting salmon-eggs was commenced on the Ist April. The rivers netted were the Dobson, Ahuriri, Hakataramea, and a branch of the Waitaki. The Hakataramea, which in ordinary seasons has been by far the best river for getting eggs from, was again unusually low all through the season, and on that account very few salmon attempted to come in. Partly for the purpose of collecting eggs, and also to prove how salmon were running in the Clutha and its tributaries this season, I netted two tributaries of Lake Wanaka —viz., the Matatapu River and Pembroke Creek. Very few salmon came into the creek, but there was a fair run in the Matatapu. We had the nets washed out a good many times, and on that account we were able to get very few fish. Altogether fifty-one salmon of a small average size (about 10 lb. to 12 lb.) were taken, and about 75,000 eggs collected. The manager at Hakataramea says in his report, " The run of salmon this spawning season is the largest we have experienced in New Zealand. The salmon are also larger in size, many of the fish, both at the Dobson and Ahuriri Rivers, being from 4 ft. to 4 ft. 4 in. in length." The number of eggs collected is as follows : Hakataramea, 293,000; Ahuriri, 389,000; Dobson, 451,000 ; and Pembroke, 75,000 : total, 1,208,000. Further evidence of the spread and increase of these salmon along the coast has lately come to hand. Besides the large run in the Waitaki and Rangitata, and also in the Clutha, large numbers of small salmon were caught off the Timaru wharf and breakwater by residents when fishing for seafish. It is reported that as many as forty were taken by one man in a day. Schools of salmonsmolts were off Banks Peninsula in October. Fishermen netting in the bays there caught numbers in their nets. The specimens sent for identification were salmon-smolts, from 1 lb. to 2 lb. in weight. The quinnat salmon is now so solidly established that fishermen should be allowed to take them for sale, and I think it is reasonable to expect that in a very few years large quantities will be on the market, and the country will begin to reap a rich return for the money expended in introducing them. I strongly urge that the work of stocking rivers in different parts of the Dominion be vigorously pushed on. I attach copy of a report from Constable Berry for publication with this report. Acclimatization of Atlantic Salmon and other Fishes. The splendid success which has attended the systematic effort made by the Government to establish the quinnat salmon should be sufficient encouragement to persevere with the Atlantic salmon on the same lines. Past experience has shown that, with anadromous migratory fish like the Atlantic salmon, small shipments of eggs brought out at intervals of several years are useless. If the work is carried out systematically —that is, by making importations of from half a million to a million eggs each year for five, or six years in succession, and planting the young fish in one of our best rivers— I have no doubt that this splendid fish would be established. I would recommend that the Department approach the acclimatization societies with a view of getting them to provide part of the money required for importing the eggs. As I have stated in a previous report, apart from what has already been accomplished there is an immense amount of profitable acclimatization work yet to be done, and I would recommend that as soon as money is available attention should be given to the introduction of several of the fishes which I recommended in my report for the year 1919. Government Salmon-hatcheries. The buildings, ponds, fences, &c, at the Hakataramea Hatchery have been kept in good order during the year. The manager and his assistant painted all the buildings. They also did a large amount of willow-planting on the river-banks, to prevent erosion at a point near the hatchery. The manager in his report says : " The Public Works completed the river-protection works in April, and. the groins and stop-banks are in good order. So far there has not been a flood high enough to test them. The erection of the new hatching-house was completed, on time by the contractors, Messrs. James Craig and Co. It is a substantially built, roomy, and well-lighted building. A new concrete intake race for the hatchery water-supply was also put in. The concrete walls of the four ponds which were broken down by the flood of August, 1919, were rebuilt during the year, and all the ponds are now in good order again." The water-supply flumes at the Pembroke and Maori Creek Hatcheries were repaired, and the hatching-sheds put in order for the coming hatching season.

H.—ls. Report of Constable E. T. Berry re Salmon Season, 1921. " I respectfully report that the past salmon season has been an extra-good one. These fish have gone up the Waitaki in enormous numbers, and a large number of them were big fish, up to 60 lb. in weight. Fishermen have been here from all over New Zealand, but the catch by anglers has been very poor. The salmon, for some reason, would not bite at the spinning baits like they have done other years, and they all seemed to be travelling up river and not waiting about like other seasons. Another thing I noticed was that all the fish caught were in splendid condition, but the sizes varied from lb. up to 35|lb. I first noticed salmon in the river on the 23rd December, 1920, but it was not until the 19th January, 1921, that I caught the first salmon, al9 lb. female. From then on to the 6th April they were caught, about 130 fish being taken out by different fishermen. The river rose and got discoloured, but the run of salmon still went on —you could see them nearly every day. A large run passed the bridge about the 16th May, and odd ones have been seen since. I took one out near the bridge, this morning [sth June]. It was just alive- fins and tail were gone —about 221b. in weight. I heard that numbers of these fish were spawning below the stone wall. The following is a list (as near as I can get it) of the fish caught between the 19th January and the 6th April, 1921 : —

" There were about fifteen other fish landed by other fishermen, but I have no particulars of these." Summary of Reports of Collectors of Customs and Inspectors of Fisheries. The following is a summary of the information contained in the annual reports supplied by the Collectors of Customs and Inspectors of Fisheries at the various fishing-ports : — Whangaroa. —The greatest drawback to the fishing industry at this port is that the fishermen are unable to get a market for their fish. There is only a very limited demand locally, and it is only in winter that small quantities can be sent to the Auckland market. Snapper, mullet, flounder, hapuka, kingfish, and crayfish can- be caught in very large quantities on the local fishing-grounds. Hokianga. —The usual market fish caught on the local fishing-grounds were plentiful during the year. The number of boats licensed and fishing was 14, and the number of men engaged in fishing and connected with the. industry was 23. Russell. —Most of the market fish obtainable in these waters were plentiful throughout the year, especially snapper and mullet. Excepting during heavy weather, a good supply of fish was always available for market. The principal markets for fish arc Whangarei, Hukcrenui, Kawakawa, Kaikohe, and other inland townships and settlements. On account of no cool-storage facilities, and only one steamer a week to Auckland, the quantity of fish sent to that market is limited. The price obtained by fishermen for their catches is as follows : Mullet, 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. a dozen ; snapper, 4s. to 55., according to their size ; hapuku, 2Jd. per pound. The number of fishing-boats licensed for the year was 51, employing about 120 fishermen. The number of whales killed at the Whangamumu whaling-station was 44, yielding about 200 tons of oil and 40 tons of bonedust; total value, about £9,600. For the last season (1920) a total of 3,058 sacks of oysters were picked from the Bay of Islands beds ; of these, 282 sacks were sold locally, and the balance, 2,776, were shipped to the Auckland oyster-depot. The rock walls built last year for the purpose of extending the beds have proved very satisfactory indeed in catching spat, and these young oysters are growing splendidly, especially in the Rawhiti section. Oyster-cultivation work was continued on the same lines this year : 3,212 yards were built in the most suitable localities in the Bay of Islands, and 394 yards at Whangarei, at a total cost of £302 2s. This work will in a few years greatly increase the quantity of oysters required to meet the increasing demand. The fishing, oystering, and whaling industry in this district gives employment to about 180 men, all of whom earn good wages. The total quantity of fish taken during the year was approximately 18,000 cwt. ; value, about £8,500. Whangarei. —The number of fishing-boats licensed and fishing during the year was 12, and the number of fishermen employed was 17. The quantity of fish marketed was 4,467 cwt. ; approximate value, £4,020. Kaipara. —The figures for the year show a steady growth in the industry generally. The number of boats licensed has increased from 27 to 36, and reports show that fish are plentiful. At

one period catches of mullet were so great that no market could be found for the fish. The demand locally is limited, and difficulties of transport to Auckland and other markets prevents the expansion of the industry. The number of boats licensed was 36, employing 57 fishermen, with 10 men employed in other ways in connection with the industry. The total quantity of all kinds of fish marketed was 9,140 cwt., valued at £11,095. Auckland. —The Inspector reports that the number of boats registered at Auckland during the year was 1.65, and he gives the number actually engaged in fishing as 46, including 6 steam-trawlers. The number of persons employed in fishing and otherwise in connection with the industry is given as 204. The total quantity of fish brought into Auckland during the year was about 68,560 cwt., valued at £84,763. Fish of all kinds have been fairly plentiful. Several trawlers have worked in the Bay of Plenty when the weather was favourable, and got good catches, while the smaller trawlers working in the Hauraki Gulf have been getting moderate catches. The Auckland line fishermen •have mostly worked outside the Great Barrier, Little Barrier, Mokohinau, Mercury, and Alderman Islands, where in fine weather they get good catches of snapper, hapuku, blue cod, and kingfish. The Inspector recommends the erection of cool-storage plant on Mercury Island. The oyster-beds in the Hauraki Gulf are showing a fair quantity of young oysters, the best fixing being on Ponui; on Waiheke Island (on the outside), and in the Waiheke Passage ; Rakino Island ; on the western side of Motutapu Island ; on Rangitoto ; and on the Coromandel coast. The total quantity picked from the Hauraki Gulf, Great Barrier, and Kaipara beds last season was 3,739 sacks. During the year 733 yards of rock walls for oyster-cultivation were built in Tckumu Bay, Coromandel coast, and 566 at Port Fitzroy, Groat Barrier. Thames. —The report from the Inspector of Fisheries states that 8,200 cwt. of fish was landed from the local fishing-grounds during the year, principally flounder and snapper, and the value of the fish is given as £28,7.19. The number of boats employed in fishing was 32, and the number of men engaged in fishing was 70, and 25 persons were employed in other ways connected with the industry. Tauranga. —There were 24 fishing-boats licensed and about 30 men engaged in fishing. The quantity of fish caught is given as 1,000 cwt., valued at £2,800. Gisborne. —There were 24 hook-and-line boats and 3 trawlers engaged in fishing, and 50 fishermen and 9 other persons were employed in connection with the industry. The principal fish caught are tarakihi and snapper. The total weight of fish brought in was 1,948 cwt., valued at £5,103. Napier. —The Inspector states in his report that during the whole of the past year the trawlers have had very good catches throughout —undoubtedly the best results for many years. From October to March large catches of soles were obtained, but of a smaller average size than usually taken. The weather conditions during the past year were most favourable, and very little lost time was experienced. About the beginning of October large quantities of sardines made their appearance in the bay and remained until the end of March. The shoals were often sto 10 acres in extent. There are now 10 steam-trawlers located at this port, but only 9 were operating all the year. The largest trawler was in commission only three months, owing to coal-shortage and the difficulty in getting suitable fishermen. The total quantity and value of fish landed was: 7,550 cwt. flounder and sole at £2 10s. per hundredweight, £18,875 ; 8,780 cwt. round fish at £1 ss. per hundredweight, £10,975 ; 500 sacks crayfish at £1 10s. per sack, £750 ; B,ooolb. whitebait at 2s. per pound, £800 : total, £31,625. Number of fish-curing places, 3, employing 4 men ; number of trawlers, 10, employing 41 men ; number of oil-launches, 22, employing 44 men ; number of rowing-boats, 40, employing 56 men. New Plymouth. —The number of boats engaged in fishing during the year was 34, employing about 60 men, a number of whom fish part of the year only. Apart from actual fishing there were about 10 persons employed in connection with the industry. The quantity of fish taken by the local boats is given as 900 cwt. ; value, £1,200. Wanganui. —The quantity of all kinds of fish caught on the local grounds during the year is given as 190 cwt. ; value, £458. Ten rowing-boats were engaged in fishing, employing 9 fishermen and 2 curers. Foxton. —Twenty-five boats were licensed for fishing, and 40 men were engaged in fishing. Most of these men only fish occasionally. The quantity of fish caught, including whitebait, was about 300 cwt., valued at about £1,200. Wellington. —The Inspector reports that during the year he inspected the boats and nets at all the fishing-stations in the Wellington District. He states that the quantity and value of the fish taken compares favourably with that of the previous year. The returns show a decrease in the number of boats licensed and men employed. The Cook Strait fishermen lost a considerable amount of time on account of stormy meather. When conditions were favourable splendid catches of hapuku were made on the new grounds located off Cape Palliser, and farther north to White Rock Station. Flounder were very plentiful on the west coast between Waikanae and. Foxton. The quantity of fish taken from the fishing-grounds near Kapiti Island has been well maintained. The supply of fish for the Wellington market has been well maintained during the year. Sixty-two fishing-boats were licensed, employing 123 fishermen. The total quantity of Ash caught was 17,250 cwt., valued at £24,230. Picton. —The local Inspector reports that the quantities of the various kinds of fish caught have been equal to previous years. After supplying local requirements the balance of the fish is sent to the Wellington market. During the year 26 oil-launches and 1 steam-trawler have been engaged in fishing, employing 35 fishermen. Three high-powered oil-driven launches are also employed in connection with the whaling industry. Forty-three humpback whales were taken last season at the Tory Channel whaling-station. The product from these was 218 tons of oil, valued at £7,242, and 40 tons bonedust, valued at about £200.

Blenheim,. —The number of fishing-boats licensed for the year was 12, employing 18 fishermen. The total quantity of fish caught was 800 cwt., valued at £2,240. Notwithstanding several long periods of bad weather, the local fishermen state that they have had a very fair year. Nelson. —Sixty-two boats were licensed for fishing during the year. These include the boats engaged in fishing in Pelorus Sound and about the French Pass. The greater number of the boats licensed are owned by settlers in the outlying districts, who fish only in their spare time. The number of men exclusively engaged in fishing was 15. Approximately the quantity of fish caught on the local grounds and brought in to Nelson was 1,095 cwt., the value of which is given as £1,271. These figures do not include the French Pass catches, which are sent to Wellington. The fishing industry does not show any signs of expansion, although extensive fishing-grounds exist in the bay. Westport. —The Collector reports a very poor whitebait season. The number of boats licensed and engaged part of the time in fishing was 9. There was 1 steam-trawler and 5 launches engaged in trawling, employing 10 fishermen. The quantity of fish landed (including 43 cwt. whitebait) was 1,1994- cwt - ; total valu °. £2,002. Greymouth. —The past year has been a very poor one for the local fishermen. Most of the fish sold in the shops are obtained from the trawler working from Westport. Eleven boats were licensed for fishing, and 16 men engaged (casually) in. fishing and 6 others otherwise employed. Only 5 cwt. of fish was caught locally ; value, £119. Hokitika.- —The Inspector reports that only 1 boat was licensed during the year. Two men were engaged in fishing, and the quantity of fish caught locally is given as 77|cwt., and 9801b. of whitebait; total value, about £147. The past season was an exceptionally poor one for whitebait. Kaikoura. —The number of oil-launches licensed and engaged during the year was 23, employing 47 fishermen and 3 others in connection with the fish-freezing works. Fish have been very plentiful, good catches of groper, trumpeter, kingfish, butterfish, and blue cod being made during the greater part of the year. The quantity landed was approximately 6,265 cwt., representing a value to the fishermen of £12,308. Three powerful oil-launches were engaged in whaling last season and were successful in killing twenty humpback and one sperm whale. These yielded 63 tons of oil, the total value of which was £2,220. The sperm whale also yielded 100 gallons of spermaceti, valued at about 9s. a gallon. A safe boat-harbour is urgently required, as the present anchorage is highly dangerous in heavy weather. » Rangiora. —The past season has been a particularly poor one for whitebait, and also for the other kinds of fish usually caught in the Ashley estuary. The total catch, including 18 cwt. whitebait, was only 34 cwt. ; value, about £295. The number of boats licensed was 18, employing 21 men. Kaiapoi. —The season has been a poor one both for whitebait and flounder. The total quantity brought in is given as 240cwt., principally whitebait; value, about £2,000. Twenty-four boats (mostly rowing-boats) were licensed for fishing, employing 24 men. New Brighton. —The only fishing done is whitebaiting. The quantity taken last season was 7 cwt. ; value, £75. Souihbridge (Lake Ellesmere). —The catch of flounder for the year was very satisfactory, although the quantity taken did not come up to the previous year. Twenty-three boats were engaged in fishing, employing 35 men. The total quantity taken for the year was 2,220 cwt., valued at £4,979. Lyttelton and Sumner. —The varieties of fish taken on the local fishing-grounds were the same as in previous years. The quantity brought in for the year was 6,643 cwt., representing a total value of about £13,942. The actual number of men engaged in. fishing was 30, employing 20 boats. One steam-trawler and 6 oil-launches were engaged in trawling. Akaroa. —Good catches of groper, flounder, sole, tarakihi, blue cod, red cod, ling, barracouta, butterfish, moki, and crayfish were made. The total quantity brought in of all kinds of market fish caught was about 4,740-cwt. ; value, about £6,370. This quantity shows a substantial increase on the previous year's catch. The number of boats licensed was 14, employing 28 fishermen. Christchurch. —The number of boats licensed for fishing for the year was 184, and the number actually engaged in fishing at the different fishing-stations in the district was 122, as follows : Kaikoura, 23 boats, employing 47 fishermen ; Rangiora, 18 boats, employing 21 men ; Kaiapoi, 24 boats, employing 24 men ; Southbridge, 23 boats, employing 35 men ; Lyttelton, 20 boats, employing 30 men ; Akaroa, 14 boats, employing 28 men.

Otago District. —The Inspector reports a very successful year for all fishermen as regards the supply of the usual market fish obtained on the local grounds. The weather conditions have been more favourable during the greater part of the year than for several seasons, and, on the whole, fishermen have had a good year. Several of the fishermen have purchased larger boats, which enables them to go to sea and fish with much less loss of time than previously. On account of the low price obtained at the Dunedin wholesale market several of the Port Chalmers fishermen are taking their fish direct to Dunedin and selling them to the public at the wharf-landing, and one other boat sells to the public

Moderate Shortage of water in the boiler caused the crown of the furnace to collapse and allow the steam to escape. The Court found that the accident was due to the negligence of the fireman in allowing the water in the boiler to become so reduced as to cause the collapse of the furnace. The fireman succumbed to the injuries he received When crossing the bar a heavy rain squall obscured all land-marks. The Court exonerated the master and crew from any blame The ship was lost at sea with all hands on or about 26th March, 1920, whilst on a voyage from Motiti Island to .Auckland. The Court was of opinion that she foundered in exceptionally bad weather The launches were in each case being steered by passengers, and the collision was probably due to their inexperience K.

The Court found that the stranding w~as caused by a strong set towards the coast and that the casualty could not reasonably have been avoided Whilst lying at the wharf, Kaikoura, a heavy south-west gale came up, and the " Cygnet" was compelled to make for Lyttelton for safety. Owing to the heavy bumping against the wharf at Kaikoura she was leaking badly, and had to be towed into port by the tug "Lyttelton" Touched patch of coral in Vuya Passage, Fiji, landmarks being obscured by rain The Court found that the master of the " Oban" was in fault in not keeping a proper lookout, and that the master of the "Vindex," < approaching the " Oban," did not give sufficient sea room to allow for emergencies. They were ordered to pay the costs of the inquiry in equal shares Whilst on passage from Vancouver to Union Bay, B.C., fire was discovered in coal-bunker and was apparently extinguished.
