1916. NEW ZE A LAND

MARINE DEPARTMENT. ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1915-16.

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

\h Loud, — Marino Department, Wellington, 28th June, 1916. I do myself the honour to transmit herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the report of the Marine Department of the Dominion for the financial year ended the 31st March last, I have, &c., Robert McNab. His Excellency the Right Hon. the Earl of Liverpool, G.C.M.G., M.V.0., Governor of New Zealand.

The Secretary, Marine Department, to the Hon. the Minister of Marine. Sir, — Marine Department, Wellington, 18th May, 1916. 1 have the honour to make the following report on the work of this Department during the year ended the 31st March last. Head Office. Owing to Ihc transfer of the Chief Clerk to the Department of Internal Affairs, and to the second clerk and five clerks volunteering for the front, the other officers have been called upon to perform extra duties, and I am pleased to say that they have willingly worked after office-hours when necessary. Their performance of extra duties and the employment of some temporary clerks have enabled the work to be carried on. Mercantile Marine Offices. The Superintendent of Mercantile Marine and their staffs have carried out their duties in a very satisfactory manner. The staff of the Wellington office has been increased by the appointment of two new Surveyors of Ships, whose special duties are to supervise tho loading and discharge of ships, especially to see that the gear used is in good order, and that proper lights are used in the holds where cargo is being worked. A question having arisen as to what constitutes a time agreement between masters and seamen, the matter was submitted to the Crown Law Office for opinion, and the Department was advised that such an agreement is one for a fixed time as distinguished from an agreement for a voyage or trip, and that it includes a running agreement. This interpretation is now being acted upon by the Department. The importance of the matter is in the fact that the law requires that the wages of seamen on time agreement must be paid monthly. The practice of withholding the. certificates of discharge of seamen who have deserted or failed to join their ships has been continued with good effect. Appended is a return showing the number of seamen engaged and discharged at the various ports in the Dominion, with the fees received for the engagements and discharges. The number engaged was 22,781, and the number discharged 20,783. The fees received amounted to .£2,626 19s. During the previous year the engagements were 20,943, and the number discharged 20,458, and the amount of fees £2,712 2s. The transactions at the four principal ports were, — Engagements.

The falling-oil in the amount of fees received for engagements and discharges is attributable to the fact that no fees are charged for the engagement and discharge of seamen on transports and hospital ships. Proceedings for breaches of the law in regard to seamen were taken by the Department with the following results: The Northern Coal Company, for employing an engineer in the s.s. " Baden Powell " at less than the current rate of wages—a nonsuit was granted; F. W. Tillick, master of s.s. " John," for taking a seamen to sea without placing his name on articles —fined .£1 and costs; and H. Berglund, for making a false declaration that he was entitled to ship—fined £5 and costs, or to undergo one month's imprisonment. Masters, Males, and Engineers. The examinations have been satisfactorily carried out. 345 candidates passed and 108 failed. Of those who passed 189 were masters, mates, and engineers of sea-going ships, 35 wore masters and engineers of steamships plying in restricted limits, 8 were masters of fishing-boats and of cargo-vessels up to 25 tons register, 25 were engineers of sea-going vessels propelled by mechanical power other than steam, and 88 were engineers of similar vessels plying within those limits. The only alteration made in the regulations during the year was the abolition of the requirement that candidates should pass the wool test in the sight tests. Great difficulty has been experienced during the year in getting properly certificated second mates for foreign-going ships, and consequently it has been necessary in some cases to allow experienced men without the required certificates to fill the positions. The fact that a number of certificated men have gone to the front has no doubt conduced to the shortage. Captain W. Whiteford, of Wellington, has been appointed an Examiner of Masters and Mates, and Captain A. Carson has been appointed Examiner of Masters of River Steamers at Gisborne. Report by Captain Blackburne, the Principal Examiner, is appended. 'Registration of Shipping. Returns are appended showing the vessels registered in the Dominion on the 31st December last. There were then on tho register 196 sailing-vessels, of 21,762 registered tonnage, and 385 steamers, of 71,695 tonnage. The numbers at the end of the previous year were 197 sailing-vessels, of 20,984 registered tonnage, and 384 steamers, of 77,901 registered tonnage. The number of seamen and boys on board was 3,593, as compared with 4,335 at the end of 1914. Survey of Ships. Certificates have been 'issued to 293 steamers, 474 oil-engine vessels, and 83 sailing-vessels, as compared with 294 steamers, 474 oil-engine vessels, and 88 sailing-vessels in the previous year. The certificate of one vessel was cancelled owing to her becoming unseaworthy. Details as to alterations and repairs to vessels surveyed will be found in the report of the Chief Surveyor, which is appended. Proceedings were taken by the Department for the following breaches of the law in connection with the survey of ships : A. McKenzie, for running a launch without a certificate—fined £2 and costs; S. Clare, for a similar offence—fined £2 and costs; and J. Brown, for a similar offence— fined £5 and costs. Deceased Seamen's Estates The estates of twenty seamen have been dealt with. The amount received was £289 Is. 7*1., and the amount paid to relatives and other claimants was £260 18s. 6d. Particulars of the estate are given in the appended return. The sum of £99 9s. 7d., which had remained unclaimed for over six years, was paid into the Public Account. Wrecks and, Casualties. During the year eighty-one inquiries were held, sixty-seven of them being preliminary inquiries and fourteen Magisterial inquiries. Appended returns show the casualties and an analysis thereof. Those on or near the coasts of the Dominion were seventy-two, of 28,055 tons register, as compared with eighty-five, of 39,604 tons, in the previous year. The number of lives lost was one, as compared with twenty-two in the previous year. The Superintendents of Mercantile Marine at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin have been appointed to be the officers at. those ports who are to conduct inquiries into shippingcasualties. Notices to Mariners. A return of New Zealand Notices to Mariners which have been issued is appended. A large number of notices concerning matters outside the Dominion has been published by the Department, and circulated for the information of shipmasters and others. Meteorological and Weather Office. The Rev. Mr. Bates, Director of the Meteorological Office, reports as follows :— " Daily weather forecasts have been despatched to 208 places, and Whakatane has been added to the list during the year. Evening forecasts are despatched through the Press Association for twenty-one morning papers, and seven of the principal dailies receive full weather reports through the same medium. The Post Office officials have generally rendered every assistance in their power, but complaints occasionally reach the office that the exhibition of the weather telegrams on the notice-boards has not been prompt, particularly in places where the officials arc remote and do not feel their responsibility.

" Wireless weather forecasts which were discontinued at the commencement of the war have been resumed during the year, and are sent out through the radio stations at Awanui, Wellington, and Awarua on the usual reporting nights, and at other times when deemed necessary. A daily wireless weather report was authorized from the Chatham Islands, and commenced on the Bth April, 1915; it has been maintained without a single break. Part of this message is also transmitted by cable to the Commonwealth Weather Bureau for research purposes. Forecasts are also occasionally transmitted to the Chatham Islands, for which a small charge is made by the Post Office, but usually the Wellington forecast suffices. Macquarie Island radio station was closed on the 14th October, 1915. Since it was opened by Sir Douglas Mawson it has done very good work indeed, and is one of the most notable researches in meteorology of the day. Since Sir Douglas Mawson sold the establishment to the Australian Government the New Zealand Government has contributed £500 per annum towards its upkeep, mainly for research into antarctic conditions, and to link up with the Imperial Antarctic Expedition still in the south. It has also proved a valuable aid to forecasting in dealing with westerly storm areas. " Some valuable records from the island were lost in the s.s. ' Endeavour,' but there is much scope for research work upon the records which remain. The records were not entirely lost, for they had been partly transmitted by wireless before the originals were removed. " With regard to rainfall stations, there has been a considerable extension during the past year, but, on the other hand, some decline both in the quality and quantity of the records in a certain number of stations. In some cases observers have joined the colours; others, through extra work, have found themselves unable to fulfil the duties; and there has been a general restlessness throughout the country which has militated against the regularity and precision requisite for observing rainfall, temperature, &c. The curtailment of reports in the Government Gazette has also been unfortunate, and under the present circumstances little encouragement can be given to observers for carrying on day after day and year after year such disinterested and patriotic labours. "We hope during the coming year to have an addition to the staff to enable us to enter into closer correspondence, and also bring out more results from our labours in the way of publication. " Inspection has, I regret to say. been much curtailed during the past year, but is urgently necessary for standardization, correction of errors, and meeting of local needs, besides imparting personal instruction and interest to the observers. " The price of instruments has risen greatly, but our purchases have been kept down to the minimum. Reprints from the Government Gazette, containing rainfall reports, &c, are to be furnished to observers at 2s. per annum, and authority has been given to charge for special reports when required by the public." Government Steamers. The " Hinemoa " has been employed on her usual work of conveying material, stores; coal, provisions, and oil to the lighthouses, and in cleaning and painting coast and harbour buoys and beacons. This work has been very satisfactorily carried out. Some engine-room and deck repairs have been executed. The plans for a new steamer to replace the " Hinemoa," which are being prepared by a naval architect in Great Britain, have not yet come to hand. The training-ship "Amokura" spent last winter in Wellington Harbour, and during that time the boys attended technical-school classes at the ship's schoolroom on Thorndon Esplanade. The instruction was given by a teacher employed by the Wellington Technical School, this Department paying his salary. The examination which was held at the end of the term gave very satisfactory results. The vessel has during the year made two trips to the Southern Islands and one trip to the Kermadec Islands to search for castaways, and to inspect the provision depots which are maintained by the Department on those islands. No castaways were found, and the depots had not been interfered with. Besides these trips the vessel has also made coastal trips for the training of the boys. There has been no difficulty in keeping up her complement of sixty boys—in fact, the difficulty is to take all. boys who apply for admission. When the boys have completed their training, places are easily found for them on other ships. The general behaviour of the boys has been good, and there has been an absence of any serious breach of discipline. Three boys have been placed on board the s.s. " Aparima "to be trained as officers. 101 old boys who received training on the " Amokura " have gone on active service at the front. Of these five have been killed and several wounded. Seaman F. Kivell, who was so favourably reported on by the captain of B.M.S. " Philomel," on Service in the Persian Gulf, is an old '' Amokura '' boy. Lighthouses. The automatic lighthouse on Karori Rock, in Cook Strait, was completed, and the light was first exhibited on the 20th October, 191.5. An automatic light has been procured for Okuri Point, near the French Pass, and its erection will be commenced during.this month. A similar light has also been procured for Flat Rock, in the llauraki Gulf, but owing to the need for economy on account of the war, the erection of the necessary tower, which will cost about £650, has not been commenced. Automatic lights have been installed in Nelson and Ponui Passage lighthouses, which has enabled a considerable saving to be made, as no keepers are now required. An automatic acetone-acetylene light has been ordered for Jackson's Head io replace the Pintsch-gas light now there.

The Marine Engineer recently examined Dog Island Lighthouse tower, and his examination showed that owing to the mortar coming out of the masonry extensive repairs will shortly be required. Material for new houses for the keepers at Tiritiri has been procured, and 1 hope that the Department will be able to proceed with the erection during this year. During the year I inspected the lighthouses at Castle Point, Portland island, East Cape, Cuvier Island, Tiritiri, Ponui Passage, Channel Island, Mokohinou, Chickens, and Manukau, but owing to pressure of duties due to several of (lie staff being away with the Expeditionary Forces 1 have been unable to visit any others. The stations visited were found to be in good order and well kept. Two keepers have retired on superannuation, thirteen have resigned, and three have joined the Forces for the front. Ten new keepers have been appointed. Harbours. The buoys and beacons in the various harbours under the control of the Department have been overhauled and painted by Captain Bollons, of the s.s. " Hinemoa." A. beacon for a light at the Narrows in Hokianga Harbour has been erected, and an automatic acetone-acetylene light has been obtained for it. This light will shortly be erected. A new house for the Harbourmaster at this port has been built at Rawene, and the boatman's house has been removed to that place from the Heads. Rawene being central, the Harbourmaster is better able to work the harbour properly from it than from the Heads. Mr. Rowe, signalman, has been retired on superannuation, and Captain Daniel has been appointed to succeed him. Owing to the difficulty in getting the required material from England in consequence of the war, the contractors for the supply of a- buoy to carry a light at Beacon Reach have not yet been able to complete their contract. Arrangements are being made to erect a beacon at Sail Point. A good deal of gravel and sand continues to be taken from the beaches in the Hauraki Gulf under licenses issued by the Department. Proceedings were taken against persons caught taking the material without licenses to do so, and fines were inflicted in each case. The sum of £1,227 4s. Id. was collected for pilotage and port charges in respect of harbours under the control of the Department, as compared with £1,561 16s. Id. during the previous year. A return of the amounts collected at the various ports, and also the amounts collected at ports under the control of Harbour Boards, is appended. Fisheries. The picking and sale of rock-oysters was continued by the Department last season, and owing to improvement in the beds the demand was fully met. The quantity picked and sold was 9,396 sacks, and the amount realized was £6,714 18s. 6d., with a net profit of £1,239 9s. Bd., a portion of which was used to replant depleted areas. Of the quantity mentioned 598 sacks were sold in parcels of about five dozen at Is., and parcels of about sixteen dozen for 3s. Of the quantity sold, 8,640 sacks were sold in Auckland, 239 at Russell, 54 at Hokianga, 287 at New Plymouth, 252 at Gisborne, 93 at Napier, 24 at Hokitika, ,'! at Greymouth, 23 at Westport, 1 at Wanganui, 64 at Wellington, and 9at Christchurch. The price charged per sack at Auckland is 13s. 6d. An inspection has been made by Mr. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, of the mangroveoysters in the North of Auckland, which showed that the quantities of these oysters are not nearly so large as was thought. In addition to replanting depleted areas in the Hauraki Gulf, a commencement has been made to replant in Whangaroa Harbour, where good beds formerly existed. The oysters taken in Foveaux Strait last season were 32,839 sacks, valued at £16,123, of which 273,000 dozen, valued at £1,958, were exported to Australia. In May, 1914, it was decided to discontinue the practice of seizing boats used in illegally taking oysters and fish, but it was made known at the same time that if fines imposed for breaches of the law were not a sufficient deterrent the question of reverting to the practice of seizure would be reconsidered. It soon became evident that without seizure of the boats used in poaching the beds would soon become very much depleted, and the former practice had to be reverted to in October, 1915, in the case of boats used in oyster-poaching. Quinnat-salmon ova was again collected during the year, and hatched out on a tributary of the Hokitika River for the purpose of stocking that river, and Mr. Ayson is now collecting ova for the same purpose. The Department also collected brown-trout ova, and sold them eyed to acclimatization societies at ss. a thousand. A report by Mr. L. F. Ayson, Chief Inspector of Fisheries, giving information regarding the fisheries of the Dominion, is appended. A report received from Mr. G. M. Thomson, Chairman of the Portobello Marine Fish Hatchery Board, is also appended. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Marine, Wellington. George Allport, Secretary.

The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the_ Secretary of the Marine and Inspection op Machinery Department. Sir, — Head Office, Customhouse Buildings, Wellington, I.oth May, 1916. I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report of the operations of the Inspectors of Machinery and the Surveyors of Ships during the twelve months which ended on the 31st March, 1916.

H.—....

I have to report that a good year's work has been accomplished by the departmental officers. The inspection of land machinery has been considerably favoured this year by the long spell of dry weather, which has facilitated the operations in the backblocks and the country districts generally. The ship-surveys are well in hand, but there are a great many land inspections that could not be made owing to the limited staff and to natural increases to machinery in the districts. This applies more particularly to the North Island, where machinery lias increased much more rapidly than in the South Island in recent years. Notable increases have been made during the year to freezing industries, both to machinery and to storage-capacities of works, all over the Dominion. The dairy industry has been well maintained, but the scarcity of labour owing to enlistment has hampered many industries and works all over the country. There has not been any boiler-explosion during the year, which is a very satisfactory record, and I have again to Congratulate the whole of the technical staff on such a result. Steam-jaressures keep on increasing, and where steam plants are in hands of untutored men in isolated places great care has to be exercised in making inspections. Not only have the boilers to be examined for defects, but the boiler-mountings and all the feeding-appliances as well. Lifts have received as much attention as possible at the hands of the limited staff, and many new electrically driven lifts have been installed in new buildings in the four principal centres. The automatic push-button lift is gaining in favour, and if such a lift is kept in proper order it is in every way a satisfactory addition to any building in which passengers are carried, and can be run without a lift-attendant. The engineering workshops have not been too busy during the year. In cases difficulty has been experienced in getting suitable material to fulfil orders in progress. 1 visited most of the districts during the year, and made a special trip to North Auckland districts to find out the most suitable place to locate an Inspector in the district. I consider that Whangarei would be the best centre to' open an office which would be a good working-base for the whole district. The question of placing an officer in this district permanently was mentioned in my report last year, but so far nothing has been done in the matter. Two additional. Inspectors are required in the North Island to cope with new work and to assist in the various districts when required. One .should be permanently stationed at Hamilton. The officer there has far too much work to do. The Palmerston North officer could do with six months' help now every year, and the Auckland District is in a similar position. The new inspections in the Wanganui district are increasing very rapidly, too. Annual Survey of Steamships and Auxiliary-powered, Vessels. The work connected with steamship surveys is well in hand. The surveys of steamships this year have been much more arduous owing to the many requests for piecemeal surveys. As far as possible all requests have been met, and surveys have thus been carried out in connection with the same ship at different ports of arrival and from time to time until the completion of survey. With a limited staff so employed the other work of the districts has had to stand over for the time being. Nearly all steamships have now been equipped with the appliances as set out in the regulations. Time had to be given for the construction of new boats, and to get air-cases made and other equipment. So far no trouble has arisen in the carrying-out of these regulations. Such rules are very hard on small shipowners who have small vessels with limited spaces for the placing and the stowing of such appliances. During the year the construction of throe vessels over 25 tons gross register was completed in the Dominion. One of these vessels is a steamer engaged carrying passengers and cargo in Kaipara Harbour. Another is an auxiliary scow propelled by oil-engines and trading on the coast. The other was tho auxiliary schooner " Strathcona," owned by the Pacific Cable Board. This vessel was wrecked on her maiden voyage to the South Pacific Islands. The plans and specifications of the hulls were carefully examined before the construction of these vessels was begun. Regarding the propelling machinery of these vessels, the oil-engines of one vessel were of foreign manufacture; those of tho other were made in Scotland, as also were the engines and boiler of the steamer. Tho engineering workshops in New Zealand have, however, to their credit the construction of four out of the six boilers which have replaced old ones in a similar number of steamers. The fifth boiler was of the Babcock and Wilcox pattern. The sixth was a secondhand boiler. The following are the particulars of the three new vessels : — S.S. " Ruawai" was built in Auckland, and after being completed she proceeded to the Kaipara Harbour, where she is now employed. She has a gross tonnage of 291 and a registered tonnage of 177 tons. She is 123-6 ft. long, 27 - 8 ft. in breadth, and 9 ft. in depth. This vessel can carry over three hundred cabin and deck passengers. The propelling machinery consists of one set of triple-expansion engines, having cylinders 12 in., 20 in., and 32 in. diameter and 21 in. stroke. One marine boiler generates the steam at a working-pressure of 1801b. per square inch. The hull is of wood. The keel, stern, and stern-post are of kauri, and three ironbark keelsons are fitted. The deck-beams are of iron. Oil-engine Vessel " Poroto " is an auxiliary scow of light draught, and was built for cargo purposes. Her dimensions are 87%3 ft. in length, 23*3 ft. in breadth, and 6"S ft. in depth. Her gross tonnage is 109 and the registered tonnage 57 tons. The vessel is fitted with twin screws. Each engine has two cylinders, 9 in. in diameter, with a stroke of 14 in. The engines develop 60 brake horse-power.

Oil-engine Vessel " Strathcona " was a schooner-rigged vessel fitted with one set of oilengines as auxiliary power. The gross tonnage of the vessel was 215 tons and the registered tonnage 151 tons. New Zealand woods were largely used in the construction of the hull. The keel, top timbers, planking, and stringers were kauri. The keelsons anil stern-post were ironbark, and the stern and deadwoods of pohutukawa, ami the frames puriri and pohutukawa. New propeller-shafts to the number of sixty-four were fitted io vessels surveyed during the year. Four were fitted with new crank-shafts and twelve had new propellers fitted. Twentythree had new propelling-engines fitted, and six had new main boilers installed. Quite a number of vessels required important repairs. The particulars of the repairs made to a few of these vessels, and also some remarks referring to two vessels surveyed for the first time during the year, arc set out below : — S.S. "Calm." —This vessel was formerly the "Cuyaba," and was built on the east coast of England in 1909. She is now owned by a Canterbury firm and is engaged in the home trade, carrying cargo only. The vessel is of 892 tons gross and 523 Ions registered tonnage. Her length is 205 ft., breadth 33 ft., and 14 ft. in depth. The main engines have cylinders 17 in., 28 in., 46 in. diameter, and a stroke of 30 in. Two marine multitubular boilers are fitted, and work at a pressure of 180 1b. per square inch. They are II ft. 1 in. in diameter and 10 ft. 6 in. long. S.S. " Corinna." —This vessel received an extensive overhaul, and several hull-plates were renewed. S.S. " Fairy." —The principal repairs to this vessel were made to the hull and boiler. S.S. " Kaitoa." —Tins vessel has been fitted up to enable her to carry passengers. The passengers are carried in a new deck-house aft and in cabin amidships The- lifeboats had new patent disengaging-gear fitted. iS'.iS'. ,T Maitai." —Repairs were effected to the hull ami boilers of this vessel. S.S. " Mako." —This is a new vessel, and she was surveyed for the first time during the year. She was built in Scotland for Napier owners, and is engaged carrying passengers and cargo in the home-trade, limits. The hull is built of steel. The registered dimensions of the vessel arc —Length, 163*5 ft. j breadth. 25'lft.; depth, 14 ft. Her gross tonnage is 322 and the registered tonnage 247 tons. The vessel is propelled by one set of triple-expansion surfacecondensing engines, with cylinders 13 in., 22 in., and 36in. diameter and a stroke of 30 in. Steam is supplied at a pressure of 1801b. per square inch from one multitubular boiler. iS'.iS'. " Orewa." —New sister keelsons were fitted and bolted down to the bottom of this vessel after the old boiler had been lifted out. A. new false keel was fitted. The bridge deck-planking has been renewed. The engine bed-plate has been fitted with six new holding-down bolts, and the high-presstire cylinder was rebored. A new boiler built of steel was installed. The boiler is 6 ft. 9 in. in diameter by 8 ft. in length, and is constructed for working pressure of 130 1b. per square inch. Oil-engine Vessel " Rachel Cohen." —This vessel has been converted from a sailing-vessel to an auxiliary-powered vessel. The propelling machinery consists of two sets of semi-Diesel oilengines. Each set has two cylinders 8fj in. in diameter, with a 10 in. stroke, and develop 40 brake horse-power. The hull of the vessel received a very searching overhaul. A number of planks, frames, and fastenings were renewed. Dredge " Rubi Seddon." —The hopper of this dredge was sheathed with, steel plating for the full length and 7 ft. up from the bottom on each side, and other repairs and alterations were made. S.S. " Tawera." —The hull of this vessel was strengthened under the engines and boiler by fitting two sister keelsons 18 ft. long. New deck-planking and a new deckhouse have been fitted. Several parts of the engines have been renewed, including crank, thrust, intermediate, and propeller shafts, the connecting-rod and bottom end brasses, and one coupling-bolt for the shafting. The old boiler was removed and replaced by one out of another vessel. The new boiler was thoroughly examined, and was tested by hydraulic pressure before it was placed on board. S.S. " Waitangi." —The boiler and engines were lifted out of this vessel, and the hull underneath was overhauled and strengthened, and other repairs and renewals were made. A. new main boiler constructed of steel throughout; was fitted on board. The boiler was tested by hydraulic pressure for a steam working-pressure of 1001b. per square inch. It is (i ft. 3 in. in diameter and 8 ft. long. r ITic total number of steamers and auxiliary-powered vessels which have been surveyed for certificates during the year amount to 768. In addition to this number a great many vessels have been inspected in docks and on slips, where they were chiefly placed for cleaning and painting. It is often found that a considerable number of rivets in the bottoms of the hulls have been loosened, and the opportunity has been taken to make all under-water parts watertight and to put them in good repair. Surveys of Ships for Seaworthiness. The number of vessels surveyed for seaworthiness during the year total nineteen. In the majority of cases the vessels had been damaged through meeting with unusually severe weather. Other causes contributing to the unseaworthiness of vessels have been fires, collisions, groundings, and defects in engine-room. Go ecru men t Vessels. Sixteen Government vessels were surveyed during the year. The names of them arc 1 S.s. " Amokura," s.s. "Ben Lomond." t.s.s. "Earnslaw," s.s. "Hauraki,'' s.s. "Ilinemoa." o.e.v. " Huia," n.e.v. " Irene," o.e.v. " Kolitirangi," s.s. " Lady Roberts," o.e.v. " Manurere," o.e. v. " Mororo," p.s. "Mountaineer," o.e.v. "Ratili," o.e.v. " Reremoana," s.s. "Tawera," and s.s. " Tutanekai."

Additional Steamers and, Auxiliary-powered Vessels surveyed for the First Time. There was a total of fifty-six vessels surveyed during the year and fitted with auxiliary power. This is a good sign for the shipping industry, notwithstanding the adverse conditions operating during the year. Sailing-vessels. There were eighty-five vessels surveyed during the year. Important, repairs made to sailingvessels include the following :— Ketch " Bee." —Repairs and renewals were made to this vessel. Schooner " Combine." —-Repairs and alterations have been made. Scow "Dandy." —The donkey-boiler which has been placed on board this vessel received a thorough overhaul. A new lum-leg has been fitted to it, and compensating-rings riveted around all sludge-holes. The boiler was tested by hydraulic pressure. It was found necessary to reduce the working-pressure owing to general waste. Cutter " Bewa." —As the result of a fire on board many parts of tho vessel wore found defective. Several new planks were fitted to the top-sides. The deck was all lifted and all liningboards wore removed. Thirty-five new timbers have been fitted, and tho hull has boon refastened, caulked, and sheathed with sheet copper. Other renewals include a- fi in. by 6 in. apron, chain plates and fastenings, steering-wheel gear and chains, bulwarks, anchor and cable, and all new equipment for the deck. Explosive Permits. There wore 166 permits issued at the Port of Wellington for the carriage of explosives on ships. Marine Engineers' Examinations. Examinations for certificates of competency were held at tho following places throughout the Dominion, viz. : Auckland,* Awanui, Blenheim, Christchurch,* Dunedin,* Gisborne,* Greymouth,* Hamilton,* Havelock, Hokianga, Invercargill,* Lyttelton, Matata, Mokau, Napier,* Nelson,* Opotiki, Palmerston North, Parenga, Tauranga.

The total number of those who presented themselves for tho above examinations was 292. Of this number thirtyseven failed to pass. The question as to tho recognition of the time spent by students training as engineers at, certain technical schools in the Dominion has been under consideration for some time. At tho request of the technical officers of tho Education Department I have been asked to visit several of the technical schools and to report on them. I have not completed this work yet. I can, however, bear testimony to the zeal of the students, and to the enthusiasm of the teachers whom I have had the pleasure of meeting. The work that is being done in the training of these boys is and must continue to bo of great value to them in all their after-life. Examinations of Land Engineers and, Land-engine Drivers. These examinations wore held at the principal centres throughout tho Dominion, and special examinations have also been held at many places to suit the convenience: of applicants. The full list of places where examinations were held is as follows : Alexandra.

There were a great many oil-engines still due for inspection at the end of the year, and the present staff cannot cope with the increase that has been -made to this class of inspection-work in recent years. The oil-engine has proved a useful appliance for all classes of work, and has largely displaced men in the country on farms, and is now universally used for lifting purposes in the construction of new buildings, &c. Fencing of Machinery. The fencing and guarding of machinery has been well attended to during the year. So far as I can gather the owners have co-operated with the Inspectors in the direction of providing suitable guards for dangerous parts of moving machines and machinery in motion. All parls in motion cannot, however, bo, guarded, as to do so would interfere with the efficicnc}' of the machinery. Common-sense must largely come in here, and the attendant must use discretion. The wearing of loose clothing is often the cause of accident, and sometimes the attendant of a machine gets careless through use of it and takes unnecessary risks. The number of notices given to fence and guard machinery total 806. Boilers inspected. The inspection of boilers and of digesters and machinery in. connection with boilers is fairly well in hand. Nothing exceptional has occurred throughout the year in connection with boilers. A great many useful repairs were carried out to the satisfaction of the Inspectors. Notices to repair boilers to the number of 339 were issued by the staff to steam-users, and some 749 defects were discovered in connection with boilers and their respective fittings. Nineteen defects were very dangerous, and if neglected might have caused serious loss to life and property. No accident causing the death of any one has occurred with boilers this year. No trouble or friction has taken place against the decision of the Inspector to have repairs made, which goes to prove that the public have every confidence in the Inspector's decision and recommendations at those annual visits. Three hundred and twenty-seven new boilers were inspected for the first time this year. Of this number the greater percentage were of the multitubular type. The imported boilers were principally of the portable, locomotive, traction, and road-roller type. There were also a few of the water-tube and Lancashire type. Exclusive of what are commonly called " boilers " — that is, vessels in which steam is generated for engines and power purposes generally —a number of vessels using steam for a variety of purposes were also inspected. Such steam-vessels include digesters, wool-drying machines, manure-driers, and retorts for freezing-works, vulcanizers for motor-garages, &c. The following table gives the districts to which the new boilers have gone, the horse-power, and whether made in the Dominion or imported : —

The Chief Inspector ot Fisheries to the Secret art, Marine Department. Sib,— Wellington, Bth May, 1916. I have the honour to submit herewith the following report on the fisheries for the yeal ending 31st March. During the year I have visited most of the principal fishing-ports and fisheries from Stewart Island to_ Bay of Islands. I also made an inspection of all the rock-oyster beds in the Hauraki Gulf, Kaipara, Bay of Islands, and north to Parengarenga. As it was impossible to get sufficient skilled assistance to work up-country salmon-egg-collecting stations, I took charge of the station on the Twizel and Ohau Rivers myself during the spawning season, and I also took the salmoneggs to the West Coast and attended to the hatching and liberation of the young fish there. As will be seen from the reports supplied by the Collectors of Customs and local Inspectors of Fisheries at the different fishing-ports, the weather-conditions have generally been favourable for fishing. Fish have been plentiful and good catches made, and, on the whole, the various markets have been well supplied with fish. I attach to this a table compiled from information contained in the reports referred to, giving the number of fishing-boats and men engaged in fishing, and approximately the total number of persons employed in connection with the industry, and also an approximate estimate of the quantity and wholesale value of fish brought in from the different fishing-grounds during the year. The following is a precis of the reports supplied by the Collectors of Customs and local Inspectors of Fisheries at the various fishing-ports, viz. : — Russell. —The principal market fish taken at Bay of Islands and along the northern coast to Parengarenga are schnapper, mullet, flounders, kahawai, garfish, kingfish, tarakihi, and crayfish. Good catches of these fish have been made during the year. Mullet have been particularly plentiful, and taken in larger quantities than any season during the last eight years. The number of boats licensed is seventy-five, and the number of fishermen was 161, while the total number of persons employed in connection with the industry was 250. There are two fishcanneries and twelve fish-smokehouses in the district. The output from the two mullet-canneries for the year was 471 cases, valued at £1 4s. a case. During the season of 1915, 5,312 sacks of oysters were picked from the local beds, valued at £3,520. The " fixing "of young oysters during the last two or three years has been rather poor, and in consequence of this the quantity of mature oysters which can safely be taken for market may have to be reduced for a time. Taken as a whole the oyster-beds at the Bay of Islands at the present time are in good condition. Some useful work has been done in replanting and improving the beds by removing high-water oysterrock down to half-tide. Hokianga. —The number of fishing-boats licensed during the year was twenty-six, employing thirty Ishermen. Mullet, schnapper, kahawai, and flounders are the principal fish caught. All the fish brought in is used locally. Oysters are fairly plentiful over the small area on which they are found, and are of excellent quality. Auckland. —The number of fishing-boats licensed during the year vas 216, employing altogether 361 fishermen, while the total number of persons employed in connection with the industry was 721. The Collector of Customs gives the approximate weight of fish which passed through the local market as 5,616 tons, the wholesale value being estimated at £111,100. The number of whales killed in the district was seventy, yielding 250 tons of oil, valued at £4,000, and seventy tons of bonedust, valued at £350. The total quantity of oysters picked during the past season was 9,396 sacks, valued at £6,714 18s. 6d. These figures include 5,312 sacks taken at the Bay of Islands. The local Inspector reports good catches of all kinds of market fish. Schnapper have been particularly plentiful, and very large hauls have been made by the trawlers which have commenced work on the trawling-grounds in the Hauraki Gulf during the year. Thames. —The number of fishing-boats licensed was forty-two, as against sixty the previous year. The decrease in the number of boats licensed is stated to be due to a good many of the younger fishermen having enlisted and gone to the front. The number of men engaged in fishing was eighty-four, and the total number employed in connection with the industry 109. The kinds of fish usually caught on the local fishing-grounds are schnapper, flounders, trevalli, kahawai, mullet, and gurnard, and the catches of these fish for the year have been about the average of other seasons. The quantity of fish which passed through the three fish-freezing works is stated to be 1,126 tons, valued at £19,076. Kaipara. —The Inspector reports that all kinds of fish usually caught in the estuary have been plentiful, but the quantity caught and sent to the Auckland market was considerably below what was sent the previous year. The falling-off is stated to be due to the Auckland market being fully supplied by the trawlers working in the Hauraki Gulf. The number of fishing-boats licensed was forty, employing sixty men, and the total number of -men engaged in various ways in connection with the industry was eighty. The quantity of all kinds of fish caught is estimated at 458 tons, valued at £7,240. Katohia.— The estuary and coast north and south of Kawhia abounds with fi h. At present fish are only caught for local requirements. There are five boats licensed, employing five fishermen, and eleven altogether engaged in connection with the catching and sale of fish. New Plymouth. —The number of fishing-boats licensed was eighteen, with thirty-six men engaged in fishing, and twelve others employed in other ways connected with the industry. The kinds of fish usually brought in are schnapper, gurnard, hapuku, kahawai, herring, crayfish, and whitebait. The quantity of fish of all kinds brought in was 152* tons, valued at £2,258.

Wanganui. —The number of boats fishing was seventeen, employing eighteen fishermen, and, with fish-salesmen, &c, the total number employed in connection with fishing was thirty-five persons. The quantity of fish caught was 7* tons, valued at £384. Very little fishing is done outside the bar, and is mostly confined to the tideway of the river. Foxton. —The number of boats licensed was twenty, and thirty men engaged in catching, with eight others employed in other ways. The fish taken are principally flounders, whitebait, schnapper, and kahawai. The quantity caught during the year is stated to be 40 tons, valued at £1,355. The Inspector reports flounders as scarce; fair catches of whitebait were made during the season for this fish; schnapper plentiful. Gisborne. —The Collector of Customs reports thirteen small fishing-vessels and two steam trawlers were licensed, employing altogether forty fishermen. Tarakihi, schnapper, flounders, soles, kingfish, and hapuku are the principal fish caught, and all kinds have been fairly plentiful during the past twelve months. The quantity brought in is estimated at 204f tons, and the value at £4,000. Napier. —The Inspector reports poor catches by the trawlers during the year. This he attributes to unfavourable weather-conditions, the shortage of suitable men, and the presence of sharks in unusual numbers. The seine-net and line fishermen report good catches. The fishing-grounds of Hawke's Bay provide a splendid variety of the best market fishes, including flounders, soles, schnapper, moki, kingfish, tarakihi, trevalli, red cod, blue cod, gurnard, mullet, kahawai, barracouta, and hapuku. The number of fishing-boats licensed during the year was fifty-two, including nine steam trawlers, employing altogether 108 fishermen, and the number of persons employed in other ways connected with the industry was twenty. The quantity of fish caught was 1,075 tons, valued at £18,798. Wellington. —During the j-ear 910 tons of fish were brought in from the local fishing-grounds, its value being estimated at £18,760. This quantity compares favourably with the average catch of several past seasons. Besides the supply obtained from the local fishing-grounds, Wellington draws large supplies from other districts. Fish-salesmen report, that the supply obtained from all sources during the year has been equal to market requirements. The number of fishing-boats licensed, was sixty-two, employing 156 men, and the total number of persons employed in connection with the fishing industry was 336. Picton. —The Inspector reports all kinds of market fish usually caught in the Marlborough Sounds and Cook Strait as plentiful, and good catches have been made during the year. The number of boats licensed was twenty-seven, including one steam trawler, and the number of men engaged in fishing was sixty, and the total number of persons employed was eighty-seven. The catch of fish for the year was 100 tons, valued at £1,200. Two powerful motor-engine launches were engaged in whaling, and were successful in getting thirty-six " humpback " and five " right " whales, yielding 230 tons of oil, valued at £3,680, and whalebone valued at £1,100. Wairau (Blenheim). —-Fair catches of fish have been made throughout the year. The quantity brought in is estimated at 60 tons, valued at £1,870. The number of boats licensed was eight, employing sixteen fishermen, while eight others were employed in connection with the packing and sale of fish. Nelson and French Pass. —The Collector of Customs reports that fishermen have experienced a favourable year. Fish have been fairly plentiful, and the catches above the average of other seasons. Fifty-two fishing-vessels were licensed, employing about 104 fishermen, and the total number of persons employed in connection with fishing, packing, and sale of fish was about 156. The quantity of fish brought into Nelson was 209,332 lb., equal to about 93£ tons, valued at £972. The quantity taken at French Pass is estimated at 350,000 lb., equal to about 1514; tons, valued at about £2,"916. Karamea. —Schnapper, kahawai, red cod, herrings, and flounders are the principal fish caught, and they are reported as being plentiful throughout the year. All the fish are sold locally, the quantity being estimated at about 1\ tons, valued at £134. The number of boats licensed and fishing was three, employing six fishermen, three others being employed otherwise. Westport. —The principal fish caught are schnapper, blue cod, kahawai, herring, flounders, soles, crayfish, and whitebait. The quantity taken during the year is estimated about 40 tons, valued at £1,534. There is one whitebait-canning factory, but last season is reported to have been a poor one for these fish. Fifteen vessels were engaged in the industry. Greymouth. —The kinds of fish taken here are similar to those at Westport and Karamea. Nine fishing-boats were licensed, including two oil motor-launches, which trawl outside the bar when the weather is favourable. The number of fishermen engaged in fishing was fourteen, and nine others were employed in various ways. About 9| tons of fish was brought in from the local fishing-grounds, valued at £320. Th<* bulk of the fish required for Greymouth and district is imported from Nelson and Wellington. There is one whitebait-canning factory, but the past season is reported to have been a poor one for these fish. Hokitika. —Catching whitebait in the season is practically the only fishing done at this port. There are two whitebait-canning factories, and the number of men engaged in catching whitebait and employed at the canneries is about 112. The run of whitebait last season was rather a poor one. The quantity taken for the season is estimated at about 18 tons, valued at £750. Kaikoura. —The Inspector says the fishermen have done very well during the past year, fish having boon plentiful and good catches made. There are seventeen fishing-boats licensed, giving employment to about thirty men. The quantity of fish caught is estimated at 340 tons, valued at about £3,500.

Akaroa. —Fish are plentiful on the extensive lishing-grounds round Banks Peninsula, but owing to the want of cool storage and the poor facilities for getting fish away to Christchurch and other markets these grounds are not made use of as they might otherwise be. There were sixteen boats licensed and fishing, employing twenty men, and the quantity of fish taken was 55 tons, valued at £1,004, and 400 sacks crayfish, valued at £200, making a total of £1,204. Rangiora. —The catches of fish during the past year were equal to the average of previous seasons. The number of boats licensed and fishing was fourteen, employing eighteen men. The quantity of fish caught is estimated at about 3f tons, valued at about £359. Southbridge. —The Inspector reports that fishing in Lake Kllesmere has been poor during the year. Fishermen attribute the scarcity to the outlet of the lake being blocked at the season when the fish are making inshore. The number of boats licensed was eleven, employing twenty-two fishermen. Lyttelton and, Sumner. —The small boats have had a good season. Altogether there were twenty-one boats licensed and fishing, employing thirty-four fishermen. The quantity of fish brought in from the local fishing-grounds is estimated at 705 tons, valued at £13,066. Kaiapoi. —Whitebait and flounders are the principal fish caught, and they have been taken in fair quantities. There were forty boats licensed and fishing, employing forty-five fishermen. The quantity of whitebait taken last season was estimated at 8 tons, valued at £896. Altogether in the Christchurch district there were 102 boats licensed and fishing, employing 149 fishermen, while the number of persons otherwise employed in connection with the fishing industry may be estimated at about fifty, making a total of 199. The quantity of fish brought in from the different fishing-grounds is estimated at 771f tons, valued at £14,525. Timaru.—The Collector of Customs reports as follows : " Hapuku, a good supply from November to April; soles, a good supply throughout the year; flounders, a fair supply; barracouta, a good supply from March to May; kingfish, a good supply; ling, medium supply; red cod, plentiful. The number of boats licensed was twenty-one, employing thirty fishermen, and eight others are employed in connection with the sale and handling of fish. The quantity of fish of all kinds brought in is estimated at 3 tons a week, or a total of 156 tons for the year, and the value of the year's catch is estimated at £3,000." Otago District. —The district Inspector says in his annual report, " The past year has without doubt been an extremely satisfactory one for those engaged in the fishing industry. With the exception of the months of May and June the weather-conditions were favourable, and catches both by the trawlers and linemen have been above those taken for many years. The supply of flat fish has been unusually good during the months of July, August, September, and October. Very large numbers of soles were taken. During July and August the catches were almost all the common sole and of a large size, but as the season advanced and trawling was carried on at a greater depth more lemon-soles were taken." The number of fishing-boats licensed and engaged in fishing was 110, and the number of fishermen employed was 232, while the total number of persons employed in various ways in connection with the industry was about 357. Three steam trawlers and three oil-engined vessels were engaged in trawling throughout the year. The total weight of fish carried by rail from the different fishing-ports for the year ending 31st March was 2,963 tons, and it is estimated that over and above this quantity 200 tons are sold locally, making a total weight of 3,163 tons brought in from the fishing-grounds off the Otago coast during the year. The wholesale value of the fish is estimated at £50,578. There is one fish-canning factory in Dunedin, where crayfish, whitebait, and oysters are canned in their season. Southland District. —The Inspector at Bluff reports as follows : " The season has been a good one, fish being plentiful, and weather-conditions having been unusually favourable, large catches have been made." The oyster-men report having visited all the known Foveaux Strait beds. The oysters are plentiful and in good condition. The number of fishing-vessels licensed and engaged in fishing and oystering was 105, including four steam trawlers and four auxiliary cutters, employing 149 fishermen. The total quantity of fish brought in is estimated at 21,564 cwt. Of this quantity 7,983 cwt. was exported, and the balance, 13,581 cwt., was disposed of in the Dominion. The total value-of the catch for the year is estimated at £29,706. The quantity of oysters brought in from the Foveaux Strait beds last season was 32,839 sacks, valued at £16,123. 4,347 sacks were exported to Australia, and 28,492 sacks were disposed of in the Dominion. In the Invercargill district the number of fishing-baats licensed was thirty-five, employing fifty fishermen, while twenty-six were employed in other ways connected with tho fisheries. The quantity of fish brought in was 15 tons, valued at £730. Rock-oyster Beds. —During the year I made an inspection of all the oyster-beds in the Hauraki Gulf, Kaipara, and Bay of Islands, and all the inlets as far north as Parengarenga. In the Hauraki Gulf the beds are extending satisfactorily. This is due to the replanting done by the Department and strict protection. The beds replanted on the Coromandel coast since 1909 and islands in the Thames Gulf are improving very well. In Te Kumu and Manaia Bays there is now a fair quantity of oysters ranging in ages from this season's fixing of spat to six-years-old mature oysters, and all the other replanted beds are showing equally satisfactory results. On Waiheke, Ponui Island, and other parts of the gulf beds there has been a poor "fixing" of spat for several seasons in succession, and in consequence of this the quantity of oysters which can be taken for market will have to be reduced in proportion. Tho beds at the Bay of Islands are in a similar condition to those in the Hauraki Gulf: there, too, there has been a poor fixing of spat for several seasons. Since February a large quantity of drift oysters have been collected

from the flats in the Kerikeri estuary and bedded down on shingle beaches in the Tei and Porerua Channels. The Inspector reports that these oysters have improved to such an extent that they are now equal in condition and flavour to the oysters from the best Kaipara rock-beds. As for some years it has been reported that large beds of mangrove and drift oysters existed in the estuaries north of Bay of Islands, accompanied by Inspector Plinn, of Russell, I made an inspection of the estuaries as far north as Parengarenga in February last. The result of our inspection was, however, very disappointing, for we found that with the exception of Mangonui Harbour there were no beds in any of the other estuaries worth mentioning In the Mangonui Harbour we found the beds in very fair condition, and a small quantity might be taken this season for market. Accompanied by Inspector Bennett I visited the Kaipara beds. We found a fair quantity of marketable oysters on the rock-beds, and we estimated that about two hundred sacks could be taken this season.

Quinnat Salmon. —Last spawning season 251,000 eggs were collected; the most of these were taken at the Hakataramea Salmon Station. Two up-country collecting-stations were worked— viz., Gray's Creek, on the Tekapo branch of the Waitaki River, and the Twizel River, a tributary of the Ohau branch. A large number of male fish were netted at Gray's Creek station, but all the females were spent fish and we were not successful in getting any eggs. At the Twizel we were successful in getting a fair quantity. Owing to the very low state of the Hakataramea River throughout the spawning season comparatively few fish ran up, and the quantity of eggs collected did not come up to expectations. The rack across the river, built on the American principle, was effective in stopping salmon from getting past, and all which came up were caught. This season (1916) we decided to work the Dobson River, one of the rivers which flow into the head of Lake Ohau, and the men commenced operations there about the 20th April, and notwithstanding the difficulties experienced in working such a heavy river they have to date been very successful in getting eggs. The run of salmon on the Hakataramea is by far the heaviest that has been experienced. The river this season is carrying a good body of water, and as it is discharging directly into the main branch of the Waitaki, all the salmon which come up from the sea have to pass its mouth, and as the condition of the Hakataramea is so favourable a good many fish enter its mouth and find their way up through the nets. The first run of fish this season

was fully two weeks earlier than in any previous season, and another unusual feature is the large number of unripe fish which have been taken. If the salmon continue running for another ten days at the rate they have been doing the collection of eggs taken from fish netted in the Hakataramea River alone will exceed half a million. From my own observations and from reports from the Tekapo and Pukaki Rivers it would seem that there is an exceptionally heavy run of fish in the Waitaki and all tho tributaries this season. Salmon have been caught freely by anglers at the mouths of the Waitaki, Rangitata, and Rakaia Rivers this season, and information is to hand to the effect that large numbers have been caught by hook and line off the Timaru Breakwater. Last spawning season a large number spawned in the Rangitata River and its tributaries. All this goes to show that the salmon are fast making their way into the large snow-fed rivers north of the Waitaki. One of the reasons why the Waitaki River was chosen.in the first instance for the salmon was because of the northerly set of the ocean current along the east coast, so that by stocking the; Waitaki all the rivers north of that would in time be stocked by the fish being carried northward. Collection of Brown-trout Eggs. —The weather and river conditions were again favourable for this work, and we were successful in collecting a large quantity. The number of eggs taken totalled 1,579,000. The number supplied to acclimatization societies was 1,490,000. Introduction of Atlantic. Salmon. —lf persevered with on systematic lines, as was done with the quinnat salmon, I am convinced that we would be successful in acclimatizing this valuable fish. There is no better river in the Dominion for the Atlantic salmon than the Waiau in Southland, and on its headwaters the Department has a hatchery capable of dealing with a million eggs at one time, and unless this hatchery is made use of the shed and the boxes and fittings will soon be beyond repair. While it is, of course, impossible at the present time to get a supply of salmon-eggs from England, yet I think inquiry should be made about obtaining them from eastern Canada, and from statements made by Professor Prince when he was in the Dominion two years ago I am of the opinion that any fresh eggs required by the New Zealand Government would be supplied, and, if not actually free of cost, the charge would only be sufficient to defray the cost of collecting. I would recommend that the question of obtaining a shipment of salmon-eggs from Canada this season should be considered by the Government. I have, &c, L. F. Ayson, The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. Chief Inspector of Fisheries.

The Chairman, Marine Fish-hatchery Board, to the Secretary, Marine Department. Marine Fish-hatchery and Biological Station, Sir,— Portobello, Dunedin, 30th April, 1916. The work done at the Marine Fish-hatchery during the past year has been mainly routine, owing largely to the fact that the care and attention required to feed and keep in order and condition the stock of turbot and lobsters at the station has made most constant demands on the time of both Messrs. Anderton and Adams. The following is Mr. Anderton's report to the Board : — " 31st March, 1916. " To the Chairman, Marine Fish-hatchery Board. "Sir,— " I have the honour to present the following report of operations at the Marine Fishhatchery during the year ending 31st March, 1916. " Turbot. —The turbot have continued to thrive, and have increased greatly in size. The largest now measure 18 in. in length, an increase of about 2 in. for the year. All are in the very pink of condition, and are entirely free from any signs of fungoid disease. The new concrete tank has considerably lessened the congestion in the tanks, but it will soon become necessary to provide further accommodation, or else to liberate a number of the larger fish. Ihey have now attained such a size that the liberation of a number in a suitable locality might at any time be considered advisable. Two only have died during the year. Ling has again been used exclusively for feeding purposes, and has proved satisfactory in every way. None have as yet spawned, but there are now signs of the development in the ovaries noticeable in a few of the largest females. " Lobsters.— -Two lobsters have died during the year, one male and one female, and the stock now stands at forty-two adults. The hatching of the lobster larvae has again been very good indeed. The first larva; were hatched on the 19th December, and hatching was continued till the Bth February, a month longer than is usual. The number of larvse produced by the seventeen females this season is estimated at 132,000. Most of the stock have now moulted, and many of the females are again egg-bearing. " No crab-larvse have been hatched this season. " The duties as Inspector of Fisheries have taken up a good deal of the assistant's time in collecting fees, attending to the registration and licensing of the boats, attending markets, visiting outlying ports, and in adjusting several matters that have cropped up, chiefly in connection with netting at the mouths of rivers. A visit is paid by him at least once a week to the Dunedin market, and a log kept of the quantities and prices of the fish sold.

" General. —Both cottages, hatchery buildings, workshops, and engine-house have received two coats of paint on the outside. Several rooms in the cottages have been papered and painted. All the paths and steps have been given a top-dressing of tar and sand. The slip-winch has been bedded in concrete, and a new and stronger slipway and carriage have been built to carry the new launch. A new concrete tank, measuring 15 ft. by 5 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. 6 in., has been constructed in the hatchery. The metal and sand used have, as usual, been obtained from the foreshore. No outside labour has been employed during the year. Messrs. Miller Bros, are proceeding with the construction of the new launch, and it is expected that she will be ready for use about the end of April. It is hoped that the full detailed report of observations for the past eleven years will be ready for publication in a month or so. " I am, &c, " T. Anderton." In addition to the demand on the men's time, it was found impossible to do research work outside Otago Heads, as the launch " Rautaia " was not strong enough to go with safety outside the harbour-limits. It was therefore decided to get a new launch built by Messrs. Miller Bros., of Port Chalmers, and this boat has now been delivered, and is in every way satisfactory. She is 36 ft. long, is furnished with a 7 horse-power oil-engine, and is constructed for fishing as well as dredging and other collecting work. The after part is fitted with tanks for holding live fish; a winch and pulley working from the oil-engine control the trawl-nets, of which two have been purchased by the Board; and when a dredge, tow-nets, thermometers, and a soundingapparatus has been added she will be fitted to undertake excellent scientific work. The Board has ordered a supply of fish-marking tags from Canada. I have, &c., Geo. M. Thomson, Chairman, Marine Fish-hatchery Board. The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington.

Ihe Nautical Adviser to the Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington. Sir, — Marine Department, Wellington, 12th April, 1916. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the examination of masters and mates in New Zealand for the year ended in March last. The work, as usual, has been carried out by the Examiners at the four principal ports in a satisfactory manner. I visited the Auckland examination-room in January of this year and found everything in very good order. I was particularly pleased with the very efficient arrangements which had been made to completely darken the examination-room for the lantern-sight test by the use of large well-fitting black shutters on hinges, enabling tho change to be made from light to dark and vice versa very quickly. In January of this year the use of wools for testing colour-blindness was done away with. From June, 1914, to January, 1916, both wools and lantern have been used in the colour-vision tests, and no less than three candidates who passed well in the form vision, and also passed the wool test, failed badly in the lantern test. The special eye-doctors who conducted the appeal in one case put the defect down to excessive smoking. No candidate who already holds a certificate of competency is now examined in colour vision. From January of this year all candidates for home-trade and foreign-going certificates are expected to be able to send and read Morse signals at the rate of five words a minute, and to send and read semaphore signals at the rate of eight words a minute. The only late change in the clerical part of our examination has been tho adoption of a new Admiralty tide-table, in which a different system of tabulating the tides is now used. Owing to the war and consequent depletion of officers, the number of examinations has been comparatively small during the last two years. The increase in the number of examinations this year over the previous year, which was unusually small, only amounts to 12 per cent., and the increase in the number of successful passes only amounts to 9 per cent., the number of failures this year being 44 per cent., against 42 per cent, last year. There has been no candidate during the year for the extra-master examination. I have, &c, H. S. Blackburne, Principal Examiner of Masters and Mates. The Secretary, Marine Department, Wellington.
