(.) If the Ship is of one hundred tons or upwards, with at least one officer besides the Master holding a certificate not lower than that of Only Mate, or, of Mate of a River Steamer, in the case of a River Steamer.

(c.) If the Ship carries more than one Mate, with at least the

First and Second Mates duly certificated.

Sub-section 4 of the same Ordinance provides that the Master of any British Ship, or of any Colonial Ship, or of any Foreign Ship holding a Passenger Certificate under section 10, leaving or attempting to leave any Port of the Colony without having on board and entered on the register and Articles of Agreement officers possessing the certificates required by this section, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Five Hundred Dollars.

Sub-section 5 provides that every person who, having been

engaged any of the above mentioned capacities in any such ship, goes to sea in that capacity without being at the time entitled to, and possessed of, such certificate as is required by this section, and every person who employs any person in any of the above named capacities in such ship without ascertaining that he is at the time entitled to, or possessed of, such certificate, shall, for each such offence, be liable to a penalty not exceeding Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars.

2. Certificates of Competency will be granted to those persons who pass the requisite examination, and otherwise comply with the requisite conditions. For this purpose examiners have been appointed.

3. The examinations will commence on such a day and at such an hour as may be appointed by the Harbour Master.

4. Candidates for examination must make their applications upon for examin- the appropriate form, which must be filled in at the Harbour Office, and the Candidates' testimonials and discharges must be lodged with the Harbour Master.

Nature of service determined by actual

position on board ship. B/T Reg.

1909, Sec. 6.

The examiner should be particularly careful to ascertain that there are no gaps in the Candidate's service which are not properly accounted for, before he is allowed up for examination.

5. Sea service cannot be regarded as qualifying for examination for certificates of competency unless it can be verified by reference to the articles of the ship on which it was performed, e.g., service claimed by testimonial or otherwise to have been as mate when the actual rating as shown by articles was only that of boatswain or other petty officer will not be accepted where officer's service is required. Where service as first (or second) mate is required to qualify for examination the candidate must actually have held the executive position next (or next but one) to the master.

Candidates who represent themselves as having served in higher capacity than that actually held in the ship render themselves liable to prosecution under section 104 of the Merchant Shipping Aet, 1894. (See paragraph 7.)

In this connection examiners should remember that it is a common practice for officers to be rated on ships' articles as "second mate although in reality they were only third or fourth mates and acted in one of those positions on board ship.

In every case where a candidate for a master's certificate of competency claims service as second mate, he should be requested to make a declaration in Divn. H of the Form Exn. 2, to the effect that during his service as second mate he had only one officer over him, or if more than one, that a third and fourth mate were also carried.

If the service claimed is as "auxiliary second mate" the candidate should be required to state the number of officers serving in a junior capacity.

A candidate with first mate's service should make a declaration that he was the senior officer under the master, or, if not, he must comply with the requirements of para. 82, as it has been found that in some cases the second mate has been signed on the articles as first mate, the proper first mate being called chief officer simply for ex- amination purposes.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 12, 1910. 65

It must be clearly understood that the amount of service laid down in the Regulations for each grade of certificate of competency is the absolute minimum that can be accepted, and unless a candidate can show the full amount he must in no case be allowed up for examination.

6. Should any doubt exist as to the age of a Candidate, he will be Ag required to produce a certificate of birth.

12. If, after a Candidate has passed the examination it is discovered Service on further investigation that his services are insufficient to entitle him to receive a Certificate of the grade for which he has passed, the Certificate will not be granted to him, but if the Harbour Master is satisfied that the error in the calculation of the Candidate's services did not occur through any fault or wilful misrepresentation on his part, he may be granted a Certificate of such lower grade as his service entitles him to.

The superior Certificate will not be granted until the Candidate has performed the amount of service in which he was deficient, and has been re-examined in all the subjects, unless the Harbour Master sees fit to dispense with the re-examination.

13. In all cases of failure the Candidate must be examined anew, E If a Candidate fails in Seamanship he will not be re-examined until 1 after a lapse of six months. Whether the whole or part of this period must be served at sea must depend upon the subjects in Seamanship in which the Candidate failed, but the amount of further sea service to he required will be left to the discretion of the examiner.

17. If a Candidate fails in Seamanship so far as regards the management of square rigged sailing vessels, in his examination for an Ordinary Certificate, he may, if qualified as to service, without further formal application or further payment of fee, proceed with the examina- tion for a Certificate of Competency for Foreign-going Steamships, or for fore and aft rigged vessels.

13. Candidates for examination, in making their application on form Exn. 2 will be required to pay the examination fee before any step is taken in the way of inquiring into their services or testing their qualifications. If the Candidate is found not to be qualified the fee will

be returned.

19. The fee for examination must be paid to the Officer deputed for that purpose by the Harbour Master, in the Harbour Office. If a Candidate offers a gratuity to any Officer of the Department, he will be regarded as having committed an act of misconduct, and will be rejected, and not allowed to be again examined for twelve months, either at the Port where the offence was committed, or at any other Port.

20. If a Candidate fails to pass the examination, no part of the fee will be returned to him.

21. The fees are as follows

For Foreign-going Ships.

Second Mate,

$15.00

First or Only Mate,

15.00

Note 1.---No abatement will be made to the fee charged to a Candidate consequence of his possessing a Certificate of a lower grade.

Note 2.--The same fee will be charged, after failure, on each occa- sion a Candidate presents himself for re-examination.

22.--(1) Every Candidate for a Certificate of Competency of any grade will be required to produce a Certificate from the St. John d. Sec. 26. Ambulance Association, the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association or the London County Council to the effect that he has passed an examina- tion in First Aid to the Injured.

(2.) The Certificate must be an adult Certificate, L., obtained by the Candidate when sixteen years of age or more, and the examination for it must have been passed not more than three years before the date of the examination for the Certificate of Competency.

(3.) If a Candidate does not possess such a Certificate of proficiency in First Aid he should apply some time before he wishes to sit for examination for a Certificate as Master or Mate to the local secretary of the St. John or St. Andrew's Ambulance Association, who will inform him of the available facilities for the instruction and examina- tion of Candidates in First Aid. A list of the names and addresses of the local secretaries of the Associations is given in Appendix C, page 60 in BT Regulations.

(4.) Besides the courses of instruction which are provided on shore at the ports in the United Kingdom, at which examinations for Certificates as Master and Mate are held, courses of instruction given by qualified surgeons on board merchant vessels will be accepted by the St. John Ambulance Association as qualifying the Candidate for examination for their Certificate of proficiency in First Aid, provided the surgeon certifies that he has followed the syllabus of instruction laid down by the Association.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRURAY 12, 1910.

(5.) The St. Andrew's Ambulance Association will also accept instruction by a ship's surgeon on board ship as qualifying a Candidate for examination for their Certificate of proficiency in First Aid, provided their syllabus is followed. In this case the Candidate must previously have enrolled and obtained an attendance card by applying to the local secretary of the Association, or to the head office at 176, West Regent Street, Glasgow.

(6.) It will not be necessary for the Candidate for a Certificate as Master or Mate in all cases to produce the formal Certificate of pro- ficiency in First Aid issued by the Associations. In order to prevent delay in proceeding with the examination for the Certificate as Master or Mate and in the issue of the Certificate to successful Candidates, the special Mercantile Marine linen Certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association and duly signed by the Lecturer, the Surgeon Examiner and the Association's local representative, or, in Scotland, a certificate signed by the Local Examiner of the St. Andrew's Ambulance Association, to the effect that the Candidate has passed the examination for a Certificate of proficiency, may be accepted as showing that the Candidate possesses the required knowledge of First Aid.

Sight Tests.

23. Every Candidate for a Certificate of Competency of any grade Sight Tests. must pass the three sight tests before he can proceed to the examination B/T Reg. in Navigation and Seamanship.

(1.) The sight tests are open to all persons serving or intending to serve in the Mercantile Marine, and all such persons are recommended to take the earliest opportunity of ascertaining by means of these tests whether their vision is such as to qualify them for service in that profession.

(2.) The three tests are :--

(a.) Form vision test.

(b.) Colour vision test.

(c.) Colour ignorance test.

No Candidate will be examined in the colour vision test until he has passed the form vision test, or in the colour ignorance test until he has passed the colour vision test.

This rule must be observed whether the Candidate has or has not on any previous occasion passed the sight tests.

(3.) Any person serving or intending to serve in the Mercantile Marine, if desirous of undergoing the form vision, colour vision, and colour ignorance tests only, must make application to the Harbour Master, and pay a fee of Fifty Cents.

This fee will be payable on each occasion upon which a Candidate is examined in form vision and colour tests only.

(4.) Candidates who fail to pass the form vision test or the colour ignorance test can be re-examined at intervals of three months, but Candidates who fail to pass the colour vision test cannot be re-examined. It is open, however, to any Candidate who has failed to pass the colour vision test to appeal to the Board of Trade, who may, if they think fit, remit the case to a special examiner or body of examiners for final decision.

(5.) The special examinations will be held in London only.

(6.) When a Candidate fails to pass the colour vision test, the examiner will point out to him the conditions under which he can appeal. Appeals are to be made through the examiner, and forwarded to the Board of Trade with the examiner's remarks.

(7.) The fee paid for examination for a Certificate of Competency includes the fee of fifty cents for examination in form vision, colour vision, and colour ignorance, and if the Candidate fails to pass these tests, this fee will, with the exception of fifty cents, be returned to him. (8.) Only examiners who have themselves passed the colour vision test are to undertake these examinations.

(9.) Whenever the holder of a Certificate of Competency fails to pass any one of the three tests, there is reason to believe that he is from incompetency unfit to discharge his duties, and in the public interest the Board of Trade may cause an enquiry to be held by a Court, having jurisdiction to cancel or suspend such Certificate; but in the alternative, the Board of Trade may accept the voluntary surrender of the Certificate until such time as the Candidate succeeds in passing the test in which he failed.

Sec. 27.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 12, 1910.

Form Vision.

24. The Board of Trade have decided that on and after January Ibid. Sec. 28. 1st, 1914, the standard of form vision in the sight tests shall be raised to that specified in Appendix O on page 122, BT Regulations, subject to the condition that Candidates who before the above date shall have obtained any Certificate of Competency as Master or Mate (foreign-going or home trade), shall have the option of undergoing the present tests and shall not, in order to obtain Certificates of higher grades, be required to pass the more severe test.

Semaphore

and Morse

Signalling.

From November 1st, 1909, it will be possible for any person serving or intending to serve in the Mercantile Marine to be examined with reference to the higher standard and if he passes, he may receive a Certificate to that effect, or if he holds a Certificate of Competency, the fact of his having passed the higher standard may be endorsed upon it.

The examiners should in all cases point out to boys and others coming up for the Sight Tests that unless they are in possession of a Certificate of Competency by the 1st January, 1914, they will after that date be required to pass the new standard of Form Vision as laid down in Appendix 0, whether they are coming up for a Certificate of Competency or for examination in the Sight Tests only.

Signalling.

25. It shall be open to any officer holding or candidate for a Certificate of Competency as Master or Mate to undergo an examination Ibid. Sec. 86. in practical proficiency in the Semaphore and Morse systems of signalling, And should the candidate pass this examination, the fact, with the date and place of passing shall be recorded on his Certificate of Competency. The standard of efficiency in signalling required from Candidates for the voluntary examination in signalling after 1st July, 1908, will be as follows:-

BT Cirenlai 497. May 1894.

Candidates must be capable of sending and reading signals made

(1.) Semaphore at a rate of 10 words

　　　　　per minute. (2.) Morse, flashing and flag-waving, at a rate of 6 words per minute (the average length of a word to be calculated at 5 letters).

The Semaphore test will be a prose message of about 30 words. The Morse, flashing and flag-waving, test will be a test message (see the British Signal Manual), followed by a prose message of about 30 words.

The Candidate must attain a degree of accuracy of at least 90 per cent. in reading both Semaphore and Morse signals.

Each Candidate will be orally examined as to his knowledge of the International Signal Book and the British Signal Manual. With regard to the latter special attention will be paid to the prescribed procedure of signalling, both by day and night, between H.M. ships and the Mercantile

Marine.

A Signalling Certificate issued by a recognised Naval Signalling School will be accepted in lieu of this examination.

Service in Foreign Vessels.

26. With reference to the latter portion of paragraph 79 which exempts applicants, in certain special cases, from the requirement that Officers' Service must be performed with the requisite Certificate, it is to be clearly understood that this exemption does not apply to Foreign Officers serving in foreign vessels.

Foreign Officers who may be desirous of obtaining British Cer- tificates of Competency in the Mercantile Marine will be required to comply strictly, whatever may be their rank in the Mercantile Marine of their own country, with the requirements of the first part of paragraph 80, viz., they must have performed their Officer's Service with the requisite British Certificate.

This service, however, may have been performed in foreign vessels. provided that the applicant can produce satisfactory testimonials as to conduct and character, and is able to prove that the service has been in the required capacities, and that during such service he has held a British Certificate of Competency of the rank required by the Regulations.

72. In these Regulations sea service is reckoned from the com- mencement to the termination of the voyage. The certificates of discharge for service in the foreign trade will generally be accepted as proof of sea service, but certificates of discharge for service in the home or coasting trade will require additional verification. Superintendents and examiners will be careful to see that these discharges have not been in any way tampered with, and will report any suspicious cases to the Registrar-General of Seamen.

These facts may possibly be proved by the production of satisfactory certificates from the Masters with whom the applicants have served; but such service will only be accepted as equivalent to two-thirds of the time served as ordinary deck hand. Failing satisfactory evidence, the applicant will be required to perform additional service in the capacity of seaman. Service as cook (under other conditions than the above) or as steward, or as purser, will not be accepted.

89. Service performed exclusively in trawlers and other deep-sea pilot vessels, fishing vessels, or in pilot vessels, will not qualify a Candidate for

examination. He must in addition prove the following service:--

Conduct of the Examinations.

101. The examinations will commence early in the forenoon, and will be continued from day to day until all the Candidates whose names appear upon the Superintendent's list on the day of examination are examined.

102. Candidates are required to appear at the examination room punctually at the time appointed.

103. Before commencing the examination, the tables or desks must be cleared of all scraps of paper or books that are not used in the examination, and care should be taken that the Candidates do not bring into the examination room any book or paper.

114. The examination papers should be issued to the Candidates in Papers to be half sheets only and one at a time. This will prevent a Candidate from issued singly. spreading out the sheets on the table so as to enable his neighbour to look over the problems. It will also enable the examiner to look over and report upon the work on one half sheet, while the Candidate is at work upon another. When the errors are not too numerous, the in- correct problems may be returned to the Candidate for correction, but in no case should the errors be pointed out by the examiner, neither should any marks be made which would indicate how far or to what extent the work is incorrect. The incorrect problems are not to be re- turned to the Candidate for correction a second time, and should more than one of the problems-

　　　-or two if the errors are only slight-be still incorrect, this would involve a failure. It must be understood, however, that the day's work, latitude by meridian and ex-meridian altitude of sun and star, chronometer problem by sun and star, and the Sumner problem, must always be correct.

115. At those ports where, from the large number of Candidates, it may sometimes be found impossible to look over the work on the day of examination during the office hours, an hour in the morning of the following day may be allotted for the purpose of correcting the pro- blems, but in no case should a Candidate have his problem returned to him for correction after he has made the second attempt.

116. The examination will commence with not less than a quarter of an hour's dictation to test handwriting and spelling. This, however, is only to be given to those Candidates who present themselves for examination for the first time for a Foreign-going Certificate. The spelling must be reasonably and fairly good, and the writing clear and legible. The spelling and writing of all Candidates must be satisfactory, and in cases where there is any doubt about the ability of a Candidate to spell correctly he will be specially tested by dictation.

117. The paper of definitions is only for those Candidates who pre- sent themselves for examination for the first time for a Foreign-going Certificate. In using this paper, the examiner will place a mark against the questions which he wishes to be answered, not less than ten questions being so selected. The Candidate will then write against the questions so marked his definition of the terms in a clear and legible hand, so as to prevent the possibility of any letter being mistaken, and also draw a rough sketch or diagram opposite to each of the questions to which he has given written answers, in further illustration of its meaning. Virâ voce questions will be asked on the answers given.

118. In the questions on the Deviation of the Compass the examiner will mark at least twelve of the questions, including the problems. The selected questions will be varied frequently, and no two Candidates will have precisely the same questions. The Candidate will be furnished with sheets of the blank ruled paper which is supplied for the purpose, with instructions that he is to write only on one side of the paper, and to answer in a clear and legible hand each of the questions against which a mark is placed, and to commence each answer by writing down the number of the question to which it relates in the margin. In answer- ing Question 39 on the tentative method of compass adjustment, the Candidate will be tested by Beall's Compass Deviascope, and it will not therefore be necessary for him to give the written answer and sketches.

119. The examination on the barometer, thermometer, and hydro- meter, prevailing winds and currents of the globe, trade routes, and tides, will for the present be conducted orally, and the questions asked by the examiner, will be constantly varied. Candidates will be required to have a fair and intelligent knowledge of the subjects.

120. Particular attention should be paid to the adjustments of the sextant, the examination in which subject will be conducted orally and practically. Every Candidate will be examined practically as to his knowledge of the adjustments and the use of the various screws; he must be able to read correctly off the arc, a supposed index error being given by the examiner as additive, as well as reading on the arc in the usual way; he must also be able to find the index error both by the horizon and by the sun.

121. Candidates will find it more convenient, both during the exam- ination and at sea, to correct the declination and other elements from the Nautical Almanac by the hourly differences given in that work; they will thereby render themselves independent of any proportional or logarithmic table for that

purpose.

122. The corrections by inspection of tables given in some of the works on Navigation, e.g., Tables IX., XI., and XXI. in Norie's Epitome, will not be allowed; every correction must appear on the papers of the Candidates.

123. All outstanding or minor corrections should appear in the margin of each problem paper and on the chart papers, and the papers of the Candidate will not be considered complete without these correc-

tions.

124. Examiners should bear in mind that the problems to be solved are required as tests, and for the purposes of an examination, and not for sea-going or practical purposes alone.

135. It is anticipated that few Candidates will require the whole of the time allowed for completing the examination in navigation, but ample time has been given, so that Candidates may perform their work in a careful, clear, and legible manner, and to the entire satisfaction of the examiners.

136. Candidates, after finishing the problems required in the various grades on the first day of examination, should proceed, until the end of that day, with such subject as the definitions, chart, questions relating to cyclones, and compass deviation.

137. The Summer problem (Exn. 6 c.) must on no account be given out to any of the Candidates on the first day of the examination, but should form the commencement of the Candidates' work on the second day. On completion of this problem the Candidatos for Masters' Certificates should proceed with the problems (a.), (b.), (c.) of the syllabus for that grade.

138. Degree of precision required in the solution of the problems :-

(a.) Candidates are expected to work out their answers to all problems where the answer required is a latitude, longitude or distance within 1 of position from a correct result; in finding the ship's position by Sumner's method a margin of 2 will be allowed.

(b.) In such problems as the "Amplitude" and "Alt-Azi- muth", where the bearing, deviations, &c., only are required, a margin of 3 or 4 from a correct result will be sufficiently accurate.

(c.) Candidates for Ordinary Certificates are not required to correct for second differences in taking out the quantities from the Nautical Almanac.

(d.) In solving the Time Azimuth problems an answer not exceeding half a degree from the exact result will be sufficiently near. But in all cases the actual latitude, declination, and time used, together with the exact bearing from the North or South as given in the tables, must be clearly shown by the Candidate on his

papers.

(e.) In computing the time at which a given star will be on the observer's meridian, and the name of the stars near the meridian (sections (b.) and (e.) of paragraph 36), an approximation only is required, and it will be sufficiently precise if the Candidate works throughout with the nearest minute of time. In computing the approximate meridian altitude of a star (section g.) working throughout with the nearest minute of arc will also be sufficiently close.

(f.) In interpolating for the correct deviation to be applied in solving the chart question, it will usually be sufficient if the Candidate works throughout with the nearest degree of deviation taken from the deviation card; and even in cases where the deviations may vary but little, the nearest half degree used throughout will be sufficiently precise. It is not necessary that the Candidate should waste his time in solving the course to odd minutes, as is sometimes done.

(y.) In calculating the correction to apply to soundings the Candidate is not required to work to the exact inch, as is sometimes done. It will be sufficient if he brings his answer within half a foot or so of a precise result.

***

兆

It must be clearly understood in reading the foregoing instructions as to the precision required, that they only apply when the work of the Candidate is correct in principle.

139. A Candidate will not be allowed to undergo examination didate to be twice in the same week, unless, under very special and urgent

circumstances the Harbour Master should see fit to relax this rule.

C. CLEMENTI,

Clerk of Councils.

COUNCIL CHAMBER,

9th February, 1910.

In these Regulations :-

Schedule M.

Drainage Regulations.

"Drain" means any drain of and used for the drainage of one building only, or premises within the same curtilage, and made merely for the purpose of communicating therefrom with a cesspool or other like receptacle for drainage, or with a sewer into which the drainage of two or more buildings or premises occupied by different persons is conveyed, and "Main Drain" means the whole of such drain excluding any branches thereof.

"Sewer" includes sewers and drains of every description except drains to which the word drain interpreted as aforesaid applies.

1. Any owner or occupier of private premises about to construct, re-construct, alter or amend any drain shall give the notice and forward the plans required by sections 222 and 223 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinances, 1903-1909. Such plans must show the whole of the drainage works proposed to be carried out, the diameter of the pipes, their gradient and their connection to the main drain, sewer, channel or nullah, and also the levels and sizes of any existing drains crossed by or adjacent to such new drains. Copies of Schedule K in English and Chinese may be obtained gratis on applica- tion at the office of the Building Authority, or, in the case of the villages, at any village Police Station between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Provided that when drainage works are being carried out in conjunction with other works it shall only be necessary to forward one such form of Schedule K which must however contain particulars of the whole of the works including such drainage works.

NOTE. The approval of plans by the Building Authority under these regulations certifies simply to the fact that the plans are in accordance with the Public Health and Buildings Ordinances and with the regula- tions made thereunder, but signifies no approval of the sufficiency or otherwise of the plan and throws no responsibility on the Building Authority.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 12, 1910. 95

2. Any person carrying out excavations for drainage works on any premises contiguous to a public thoroughfare, whereby the safety of the public may be jeopardized, shall light such excavations by means of a lantern or lanterns kept lighted through the night, and he shall further provide watchmen, erect hoardings and otherwise take such pre- cautions as may be necessary for securing the safety of the public and the protection of adjoining properties.

3. Covered drains and sewers shall be made of impervious materials to be approved by the Building Authority with smooth internal surfaces, such as well glazed earthen-ware pipes, or cast-iron pipes protected against rust or corrosion by suitable asphaltic coating, and shall be so constructed as to be watertight and air-tight. In jointing pipes with cement, tarred-hemp shall be caulked into the joints before the cement is applied, and care shall be taken that no cement or other jointing material projects from the joints into the interior of the pipes, and any such projecting material or other irregularities in the bore of the drain or sewer shall be carefully removed.

4. All drains and sewers shall be laid so as to have a firm bed throughout their length. Where the bottom of a trench is in rock or similar hard substance the pipes shall be firmly bedded in suitable selected material free from large stones and well rammed into place. Where such drains or sewers are laid under a wall they shall be protected by means of a relieving arch.

5. All stoneware pipes shall be well glazed and free from cracks and flaws and shall have a thickness of not less than one-twelfth of their diameter.

sewer

6. That portion of the drain of any building which is immediately connected with any sewer shall (unless specially exempted by the Building Authority) be provided with a suitable and efficient intercepting trap at a point situate on the ground of the owner of the drain as distant as may be practicable from such building and as near as may be practicable to the point at which such drain is connected with such Adequate means of access shall be provided to every drain by a manhole or disconnecting chamber or other means of access to be approved by the Building Authority for the purpose of cleansing the drain. All manholes and disconnecting chambers shall be constructed of brickwork at least 9" in thickness built in cement mortar so as to be watertight up to the level of adjacent ground and shall be fitted with manhole covers and frames to be approved by the Building Authority. If placed within a building such covers shall be air-tight.

7. All covered drains and sewers shall be laid in straight lines and regular gradients between the points at which any change of direction occurs, and all changes of direction shall be made by means of properly curved pipes or by half channels in manholes.

8. Concrete for encasing drains or sewers shall be composed of four parts of good sound clean stone, broken to pass through a one inch ring, two parts of red or yellow earth and one part of lime thoroughly well mixed and well rammed into place or of such other materials and in such proportions as the Building Authority may approve.

9. Cement mortar for the jointing of pipes or any other work shall be mixed in the proportions of not more than three parts of clean sharp sand to one part of good Port- land cement and used fresh.

10. No covered drain or sewer shall be less than four inches in clear internal diameter, but the Building Authority may require any covered drain or sewer to be constructed of a larger diameter.

11. Subject to the limitation mentioned in the preceding regulation, no drain or sewer shall be larger than is necessary in the opinion of the Building Authority to carry off the sewage of the premises drained or the sewage with the rain-water, which, under conditions hereinafter specified in Nos. 33, 34 and 35 of these regulations, shall be admitted to the drain.

12. Every drain or sewer shall have the maximum fall, throughout its length, that the relative levels of the public sewer and of the most remote inlet, will admit of:

Provided always-

13.

(a) That if the available fall exceeds one in thirty the part of the drain or sewer, more remote from the public sewer, may be laid with a fall of one in thirty; and the remainder, with such greater fall as may be necessary to connect with the public sewer.

(b) That if the excavation, necessary to obtain the maximum available fall, is likely in the opinion of the Building Authority to endanger the stability of the adjoining or neighbouring property, the gradient may be modified to such extent as the Building Authority may approve.

Whenever the available fall for a covered drain or sewer is less than one in thirty the Building Authority may require the gradient of the drain or sewer to be varied by increasing such gradient in the upper portion of such drain or sewer and by reducing it in the remaining portions.

14. Whenever the gradient of any portion of a covered drain or sewer is less than one in thirty, the Building Authority may require an automatic flush tank or any other suitable contrivance for attaining an effective flush to be provided to his satisfaction.

15. No drain or sewer shall be so constructed as to pass under any domestic building except when any other mode of construction is impracticable. Any drain or sewer passing under a building shall be of cast-iron pipes coated inside with Dr. Angus Smith's patent composition, or of other material approved of by the Building Authority and all such pipes shall be of a quality to be approved by the Building Authority and the joints shall be properly caulked and run with lead, and (unless the written permission of the Building Authority has first been obtained to lay the drain or sewer otherwise) shall be laid in one straight line for the whole distance beneath such building, and shall be imbedded and encased through- out its entire length in four inches of concrete as specified in regulation 8.

16. Whenever a covered drain or sewer traverses soft or yielding ground, or where water make its appearance in the trench, the drain or sewer shall be surrounded throughout its entire length with four inches of concrete as specified in regulation 8.

may

17. No drain or sewer shall be constructed in such manner as to allow any inlet to such drain or sewer to be placed inside any roofed building, (except such inlet as may be necessary from the apparatus of any water-closet or urinal) :

Provided that if in the opinion of the Building Authority it is impracticable to comply with this regulation in respect of any premises without encroaching on Crown land the Building Authority shall, on payment by the owner of such premises of a fee of $8, construct an inlet on Crown land to receive the drainage of such premises and connect such inlet with a sewer. The cost of cleansing and maintaining such inlet shall there- after be borne by the owner for the time being of the said premises and may be recovered by the Building Authority from such owner by an action in the Supreme Court in its Summary Jurisdiction.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 12, 1910.

18. The aggregate area of the openings in any grating fixed on the inlet to a waste-pipe from a bath or sink shall not be less than four square inches and such waste-pipe shall not have a less internal diameter than 1 inches.

19. Every inlet to a drain or sewer shall be provided with a trap of a pattern to be approved by the Building Authority. All surface traps and gulleys shall be provided with hinged gratings having the nett area of the openings not less than twice the area of the trap or pipe. Such gratings shall be sunk to a depth of at least one inch below the surrounding surface with a slope round them equal to half the width of the grating.

20. Traps shall have not less than two inches of water seal and shall be properly fixed and jointed to the satisfaction of the Building Authority. All stoneware traps shall be surrounded with four inches of concrete as specified in regulation S.

21. No person shall construct or fix in connection with any drain or waste-pipe the form of trap of the kind known as the Belltrap or any trap of the kind known as the D trap.

22. Every covered main drain or sewer carrying sewage or sullage water shall be ven- tilated at its upper end by carrying up in the open air an iron ventilating pipe of a diameter of not less than four inches to a height of not less than three feet above the eaves of this or of any of the immediately adjoining buildings, and clear of all windows, skylights or other openings. The joints of all such pipes shall be properly caulked and run with lead.

23. Every covered main drain or sewer carrying sewage or sullage water shall have a ventilating opening near to its lower end and in the open air, and no trap or other obstruction to the free circulation of air shall exist between this opening and the one described in the preceding regulation.

When a covered main drain receives the drainage of more than one building the Build- ing Authority may require additional provision for ventilation of the branch drain from each building.

24. All eaves gutters shall be of cast iron or other material approved by the Building Authority and shall be securely fixed at a proper gradient and connected to rain-water pipes to the satisfaction of the Building Authority.

25. Rain-water pipes and waste-pipes from baths, sinks and other similar appliances on the upper floors of buildings shall be fixed, as far as may be practicable, vertically and shall be of cast iron socketted pipes jointed with cement, or wrought iron pipes, with screwed joints, coated with bituminous composition, or galvanised, or of well glazed stoneware socketted pipes, or other approved materials, securely fixed outside the wall, and in the open air, by means of wrought iron bands fitted round the pipe, and made fast with wrought iron spikes not less than four inches long, or in the case of iron pipes by means of ears, made fast as above described and provided, at each point of connection, with a suitable head, and at their lower extremity with a bend, shoe or pedestal pipe. Every opening in the wall of a building for the discharge of sullage water shall be of a suitable size and entirely protected to the satisfaction of the Building Authority by a fixed grating of cast iron or other material to be approved by the Building Authority.

Provided that in the case of rain-water pipes and waste-pipes abutting on any street, cast or wrought iron pipes only shall be used, properly jointed as above described, (unless permission has been granted by the Building Authority to use pipes of other material), and wherever practicable rain-water pipes shall be carried under the foot-path and shall discharge into the side channel.

CHAPTER I.

GENERAL RULES.

1. These regulations are issued in pursuance of the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance No. 10 of 1899.

In accordance with section 4 (2) of that Ordinance, "Every British and every Colonial ship exceeding 60 tons when leaving any Port in the Colony must be provided with officers duly certificated according to the following scale :-

(d.) If the ship is a steamship of one hundred nominal horse-power or upwards, with at least two Engineers, one of whom shall be a First Class, and the other a First Class or Second Class Engineer, duly certificated.

(e.) If the ship is a steamship of less than one hundred nominal horse- power, with at least one Engineer who is a First Class or Second Class Engineer duly certificated."

An officer is not duly certificated unless he is the holder for the time being of a valid Certificate of Competency under the Merchant Shipping Act or a Colonial Certificate of Competency declared by order of His Majesty in Council to be of the same force as if it had been granted under the said Act, of a grade appropriate to his station in the ship or of a higher grade.

If any person, having been engaged as one of the above-mentioned officers goes to sea as such officer without being duly certificated, or employs a person as an officer, in contravention of the above provisions without ascertaining that the person so serving is duly certificated, that person shall be liable for each offence to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars.

By section 4 of Ordinance 10 of 1899 provision is made for holding ex- aminations for the grant of Certificates of Competency, and power is given to regulate the conduct of the examinations and the qualification of the applicants.

2. Candidates for examination must fill up a form of application (form Exn. 3) at the Harbour Office. The form, properly filled in, together with the candidate's certificate of apprenticeship, testimonials, and discharges, must be lodged with the Harbour Master not later than the day before the day of examina- tion.

The Examiner should be particularly careful to ascertain that there are no gaps in the Candidate's service which are not properly accounted for, before he is allowed for examination.

3. Should any doubt exist as to the age of a candidate he will be required to produce a certificate of birth.

4. It is provided by section 4 of the Ordinance that any person who makes, assists in making, or procures to be made, any false representation for the purpose of procuring either for himself or for any other person a Certificate of Competency, shall in respect of each offence be guilty of a misdemeanour, which is punishable, on summary conviction, with imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, with or without hard labour, or with a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars.

They must be signed by the Master and Chief Engineer (or in the case of testimonials to Chief Engineers, by the Master and Superintending Engineer) and must clearly state whether the applicant was on regular watch, and in regular charge of a watch on the main engines or boilers. It is desirable that testimonials of candidates should be endorsed by the Superintending Engineer. No time spent in clerical work will be allowed to count.

7. Candidates who have neglected to join their vessels after having signed Penalty for articles, or who have deserted their vessels after having joined, or who have been misconduct. found guilty of gross misconduct on board, will be required to produce satisfactory proof of two years' subsequent service and good conduct at sea unless the Harbour Master, after having investigated the matter, should see fit to reduce the time.

In cases where a testimonial from the Chief Engineer, or from the Master, Further as is for any sufficient reason not obtainable, one may be submitted from the Superin- tending Engineer in place of that of the Chief Engineer, and one from the Managing Owner or Secretary or Chairman of a large Company in place of that of the Master; but in every such instance the testimonial must declare that the facts stated are in accordance with the reports made by the Chief Engineer or the Master, as the case may be, or else that the facts are within the writer's personal knowledge.

9. When a candidate is observed to be hard of hearing, or is labouring under Physical any other obvious physical defect, the signatories of his testimonial are required to defects. mention that defect specifically, and to state whether it in any way interfered with the efficiency of the candidate as an Engineer on watch. When these modified testimonials are such as to completely satisfy the Examiner that the defect is not such as to interfere with the efficient discharge of the applicant's duties as Engineer, the examination is proceeded with; otherwise the case is referred to the Harbour Master. Candidates afflicted with nervous impediment in speech may write their answers to vivâ voce questions.

The testimonials of service of Foreign Engineers and of British Engineers Foreign serving in foreign vessels, which cannot be verified by the Harbour Master, must Engineers: be confirmed either by the Consul of the country to which the ship in which the service. candidate served belonged, or by some other recognized official authority of the country; or by the testimony of some credible person on the spot having personal knowledge of the facts required to be established. The production, however, of such proofs will not of necessity be deemed sufficient. Each case must be decided on its own merits; and if the sufficiency of the proofs given appears to be at all doubtful, the point will be referred to the Governor.

but if the Governor is satisfied that the error in the calculation of the candidate's services did not occur through any fault or wilful misrepresentation on his part, he will have the fee returned to him. Should his service entitle him to a Certifi- cate of a lower grade it may be granted to him, and the difference, if any, between the fee paid by him for the superior Certificate and the fee payable for the inferior Certificate will be returned to him. The superior Certificate will not be granted until the candidate has performed the amount of service in which he was deficient, and has been re-examined in all the subjects, unless the Governor sees fit to dis- pense with the re-examination.

15. If the candidate fails in practical knowledge he may not present himself for re-examination until he can produce proofs of three months' further service at sea as Engineer on watch on the main engines or boilers from the date of failure. If he fails in arithmetic, elementary questions, or drawing only, he may come up again at any time.

16. Candidates for examination, in making their application on the form Exn. 3, will be required to pay the examination fee before any step is taken to- wards inquiring into their service or testing their qualifications, &c. If the candi- date is found not to be qualified, the fee will be returned to him.

17. If a candidate fails in his examination, no part of the fee he has paid will be returned to him.

50. Any candidate violating any of the regulations, or being guilty of in- solence to the Examiner, or of disorderly or improper conduct in or about the room, will render himself liable to the postponement of his examination, or, in the event of his having passed, to the detention of his Certificate for such period as the Governor may direct.

51. The examination of candidates for Second Class Certificates consists of three parts: arithmetic, elementary questions, and ricû roce ; and danc of candidates for First Class Certificates of four parts: arithmetic, drawing, clementary questions, and vivâ voce. See paras. 18 and 19.

52. When the number of marks obtained in arithmetic amoun's to 28, that is two-thirds of the maximum, the candidate passes in arithmetic.

If the marks obtained amount to 21, but not to 28, and if the applicant has had long sea experience, his testimonials should be taken into account, and his examination continued, if deemed advisable by the Examiner, and he may be passed or failed, having due regard to his practical knowledge, and to whether he is being examined for second class or first class.

53. All Engineer applicants presenting themselves for examination will be required to give written answers to ten questions selected from Elementary Ques- tions shown in Appendix B. These questions are intended to furnish a record to some extent of candidate's knowledge at the time of his examination, and also to induce the candidates to pay more attention to their handwriting and spelling. Examiners will require all candidates to fill up a form H 137, Exn. 3.

The questions for both classes of Engineers will be taken from the same series of Elementary Questions; and candidates for first class certificates are expected to show their superiority by giving answers more complete than those of the other candidates.

54. Having regard to the fact that when the oral examination is held, the candidate has already passed in artithmetic, and, if a first class candidate, in draw- ing, and has also written auswers to the elementary questions, the Examiners will deal with practical, rather than theoretical, questions in the division of the examination; and no candidate should be failed without having been well cross- questioned on the points for which failure takes place.

The elementary questions to be answered on Form Exu. 156 are good starting points in vicâ voce examinations. With the candidates' written answers before the Examiner, the same question can be put in a way requiring an answer in another form. Each question may be developed into several according to the circumstances of the case, eg.:·

1. What is

2. What is its use?

made of? Of what parts does it consist?

3. What attention does it require at sea?

4. What attention does it require in port?

5. When it becomes defective, what is it that principally goes wrong

with it ?

6. How is it repaired ?

7. What alteration may prevent a recurrence of the defect?

It is considered of great importance that Engineers presenting themselves for examination should have an extensive knowledge of the particulars of actual casual- fios which have occurred at sea, and be able to state how these might have been d?e- vented, and how remedied. Sometimes an Engineer presents himself who has had no personal experience of any defects, and who can tell nothing about casualties to machinery which have occurred in the experience of others; such candidates should be closely questioned as to their knowledge of boiler and engine construc- tion and the repairs of same.

The management of engines and boilers at sea, the duties of the Engineer on watch, the work to be done to the engines, boilers, and auxiliary machinery in port, and the periodical examinations of the working parts, form part of the vivi voce examination.

Appendix C.

EXAMINATION IN ROUGH WORKING DRAWING FOR A FIRST CLASS ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY.

1. The regulations of the Board of Trade in regard to the qualifications of a candidate for a First Class Engineer's certificate of competency specify that,-

"He must be able to make rough working drawings of the different parts of the

engines and boilers.

"He must be able to state the general proportions borne by the principal parts of

the machinery to each other."

2. In accordance with these clauses, a candidate for a First Class Certificate is required to make a rough working drawing of the parts. An Engineer who has been some years in charge of marine engines and boilers ought to have familiarly in his mind the general con- struction of at least one set of engines and boilers, say that set he was last with. Fine drawing is not expected, and in the proportions of the parts a wide margin will be allowed; absurd dimensions will be failure in practical knowledge.

3. The drawing must, however, be practically a working drawing, giving a sufficient number of views to show the parts fully-sections, plans, or elevations, just as the candidate would require to be supplied to him if he had to make the parts to the design of another

person.

4. A clear hand sketch showing the constructions completely, and fully dimensioned, will be accepted if the candidate prefers this alternative.

5. A portion only of the parts specified may be accepted in place of the whole, if that portion is sufficient to show that the candidate has a good practical idea of the construction of the parts, and a fair notion of their general proportions or dimensions.

6. Candidates are hereby cautioned not to put on paper what they have not fully considered, and deliberately intend to be understood, as their statement of what they know about the construction of any part required.

7. The statements given in by a candidate may be in themselves, apparently, of little importance, but, as sample material from which the state of the candidate's knowledge of engines and boilers is to be inferred, every detail which is glaringly inconsistent with a sound knowledge of the use of the part, or in which an essential consideration has evidently been overlooked, is an important element in the description which the candidate is giving of his own qualifications.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 11, 1910.

151

8. The candidate is advised not to begin more than he can clearly finish in the time allowed. An important object in this part of the examination is to ascertain whether the candidate can be trusted to mark all necessary dimensions upon a sketch or a drawing. The test of this is, practically, the making of the part from the sketch without having to supply additional dimensions, and without measuring the drawing. To prove this ability the candidate must fully dimension the parts, shown in his sketch or drawing, notwith- standing that the parts may be correctly drawn to scale. A drawing is fully dimensioned when no part of it is left to the option of the party who is to work to the drawing.

9. To prevent misunderstanding, however, when the candidate has been led into showing more of the details than he has time fully to finish, he should name, ineth statement on the other side, the particular parts which he has fully dimensioned.

10. All dimensions should have lines and darts, to indicate distinctly the points between which the dimensions are given.

11. Beware of writing cross dimensions upon centre lines, or upon longitudinal dimension lines. This is not an order but a recommendation.

12. The candidate is not expected to design anything; he has merely to sketch or draw something with which he is expected to be already familiar. At the same time he should call attention to any defect in the design of the article or apparatus. Omission to do so will imply want of practical knowledge.

13. Pencil in nothing after half-past three; all the dimensions, the figures, and the darts must be inked in: employ the remaining time in examining the drawing and in inking in any figures which may have been before overlooked, and in checking the dimensions.

All

14. Make sure that you will have sufficient room on the drawing sheet to show all the necessary views. You can have another sheet of drawing paper if necessary. the paper used must be forwarded with the drawing.

QUESTIONS.--Mr. STEWART gave notice that he will ask the following Questions at the next meeting of the Council:---

(a.) Did the Governor of the Colony in this Council on the 20th Ju 9, 1903, accur

ately state the intentions of the Government when he said As regards the ground in front of the Club, I hope that nothing will ever be built upon it. I propose that the ground shall be made a public garden.

My idea

is that the ground shall be preserved as an open space entirely and add to the beauty of the place (b.) Did the Honourable the Director of Public Works (then as now Mr. Chatham) at the official ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Law Courts, on November the 12th, 1993, in the presence of the Governor of the Colony, the Hon, the Colonial Secretary (then Mr, nowe Sir Henry May), and ming other high Government officials, decurately state the intent ous of the Gorern- ment when he read from a written document this announcement :

" The area to the north of this will, therefore, remain unbuilt upon, and an almost wuriedled site for the Courts, haring regard to the open spaces which will adjoin them on three sides, will thus be created"?

(c.) Dil His Excellency Sir Frederick Luyard accurately state the intentims of the Government when, on the 28th October, 1909, he stil in this Council, in reply to a question whether the Government would undertake to have the plot in question cleared and made presentable as soon as if it is no longer necess vy to the work on the Lur Courts and Post Office to maint un it in its present uutidy state : the present intention of the Government is to dear the plot as soon as it can be done"?

(d.) In view of these seemingly authoritative statements, not easily to be thought of as irresponsible utterances, is it, on consideration, really incomprehensible to high Government officials how an impression was created in the public mind which led to many hearing with surprise of the recent decision to sell to a private parchaser, for building purposes, the site in question?

As trains on the Yiinnan railway only run during the day, a traveller bound for Yintan is obliged to stay a night at Lao-Kay, and there is ample tine for him after the arrival of the one train a day from Hanoi to engage his room at the Lotel and then to cross over the boundary bridge to Hokow to visit the Fu Tu Pan and return to Lao-Kay in tinue for dinner.

A PROCLAMATION.

THEREAS it is provided in the Act of Congress approved August 5, 1909, entitled "An Act to provide revenue, equalize duties and encourage the industries of the United States, and for other purposes

That from and after the thirty-first day of March, nineteen hundred and ten, except as otherwise specially provided for in this section, there shall be levied. collected, and paid on all articles when imported from any foreign country into the United States, or into any of its possessions (except the Philippine Islands and the islands of Guam and Tutuila), the rates of duty prescribed by the schedules and paragraphs of the dutiable list of section one of this Act, and in addition thereto twenty-five per centum ad valorem ; which rates shall constitute the maximum tariff of the United States: Provided, That whenever, after the thirty-first day of March, nineteen hundred and ten, and so long thereafter as the President shall be satisfied, in view of the character of the concessions granted by the minimum tariff of the United States, that the government of any foreign country imposes no terms or restrictions, either in the way of tariff rates or provisions. trade or other regulations, charges, exactions, or in any other manner, directly or in- directly, upon the importation into or the sale in such foreign country of any agricultural, manufactured, or other product of the United States, which unduly discriminate against the United States or the products thereof, and that such foreign country pays no export bounty or imposes no export duty or prohibition upon the exportation of any article to the United States which unduly discriminates against the United States or the products thereof, and that such foreign country accords to the agricultural, manu- factured, or other products of the United States treatment which is reciprocal and equivalent, thereupon and thereafter, upon proclamation to this effect. by the President of the United States, all articles when imported into the United States, or any of its possessions (except the Philippine Islands and the islands of Guam and Tutuila), from such foreign country shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be admitted under the terms of the minimuin tariff of the United States as prescribed by section one of this Act.

And Whereas satisfactory evidence has been presented to me that the Government of His Britannic Majesty with respect to Hongkong and Kowloon imposes no terms or restric- tions, either in the way of tariff rates or provisions, trade or other regulations, charges, exactions, or in any other manner, directly or indirectly, upon the importation into or the sale in Hongkong and Kowloon of any agricultural, manufactured, or other product of the United States, which unduly discriminate against the United States or the products thereof, and that the Government of His Britannic Majesty with respect to Hongkong and Kowloon pays no export bounty or imposes no export duty or prohibiton upon the exportation of any article to the United States which unduly discriminates against the United States or the products thereof, and that the Government of His Britannic Majesty with respect to Hongkong and Kowloon accords to the agricultural, manufactured, or other products of the United States treatment which is reciprocal and equivalent :

Now. Therefore. I, WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the aforesaid Act of Congress, do hereby make known and proclaim that from and after March 1, 1910, and so long thereafter as the aforesaid Act of Congress is in existence and the Government of His Britannic Majesty with respect to Hongkong and Kowloon imposes no terms or restrictions upon the importation or sale in Hongkong and Kowloon of the products of the United States which unduly

Provided, however, that this proclamation shall not take effect from and after March 31, 1910, but shall be null and void in the event that, at any time prior to the aforesaid date, satisfactory evidence shall be presented to the President that the Government of His Britannic Majesty with respect to Hongkong and Kowloon has made such change or changes in its present laws or regulations affecting Ain rican commerce in Hongkong and Kowloon as to discriminate unduly in any way against such commerce, and in the further event that a proclamation by the President of such fact, revoking the present proclamation, shall have. been issued.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto se my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

London, 24th May, 1910.

His Majesty the King commands me to convey following message for publication:-- "To my people beyond the seas :-

The innumerable messages of kindness from my loyal subjects beyond the seas have deeply touched my heart and have assured me that I have in full measure their sympathy in the great trial which has befallen me and them, that my sorrow is their sorrow, that I- share a common loss. The happiness of all his people throughout his dominions was dear to the heart of my beloved father. For them he lived and worked, in their service he died, and I cannot doubt that they will hold his name in grateful remembrance. I am now called to follow in his footsteps and carry on the work, which prospered in his hands. sailor, I have been brought into constant touch with the oversea dominions of the Crown, and I have personally realized the affectionate loyalty, which holds together many lands and diverse people in one glorious fellowship. Nine years ago I travelled through the Empire accompanied by my dear wife, and, had the late King lived, we should together at his expressed wish have visited South Africa in the coming autumn, to open the first parlia- ment of the South African Union, the latest and greatest evidence of that peace and har- mony, which my father ever loved to promote. It will be my earnest endeavour to uphold constitutional government and to safeguard in all their fulness the liberties which are enjoyed throughout my dominions; and, under the good guidance of the Ruler of all Men, I will maintain on the foundation of freedom, justice and peace the great heritage of the United British Empire."

And whereas by section four of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, it is provided that sections four hundred and twenty-seven to four hundred and thirty-one of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894 (hereinafter called the Principal Act), relating to life-saving appliances shall, after the appointed day, apply to all foreign ships while they are within any port of the United Kingdom as they apply to British ships.

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS by Section 4 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, it is provided that Sections 427 to 31 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1891 (hereinafter called the Principal Act), relating to live-saving appliances shall, after the appointed day, apply to all foreign ships while they are within any port of the United Kingdom as they apply to British ships. Provided that His Majesty may by Order in Council direct that those provisions shall not apply to any ship of a foreign country in which the provisions in force relating to life-saving appliances appear to His Majesty to be as effective as the provisions of Part V. of the Principal Act, on proof that those provisions are complied with in the case of that ship :

And whereas by Section 5 of the said Act it is provided that the said appointed day shall be the first day of January, 1909, or such other day not being more than twelve months later, as the Board of Trade may appoint:

And whereas the Board of Trade have appointed the first day of October, 1909, to be the day after which the provisions of the Principal Act relating to life-saving appliances should apply to all foreign ships while they are within any port of the United Kingdom as they apply to British ships:

And whereas it appears to His Majesty that the provisions in force in the Netherlands relating to life-saving appliances are as effective as the provisions of Part V. of the Principal

Act:

Now therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, is pleased to direct that the provisions of Sections 427 to 431 of the Principal Act shall not apply to any ship of the Netherlands while within any port of the United Kingdom, if it is proved that the aforesaid provisions in force in the Netherlands relating to life-saving appliances are complied with in the case of that ship.

THE 11TH DAY OF JUNE, 1910.

PRESENT,

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS by Section 445 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, it is enacted that where the Board of Trade certify that the laws and regulations for the time being. in force in any foreign country and relating to overloading and improper loading are equally effective with the provisions of that Act relating thereto, His Majesty in Council may direct that on proof of a ship of that country having complied with those laws and regulations, she shall not, when in a port of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention for non-compliance with the said provisions of that Act, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions:

And whereas by Section 1 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, provision, as is more particularly therein mentioned, is made for applying to foreign ships when in ports in the United Kingdom certain sections of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, which relate to loadline, without prejudice to any direction of His Majesty in Council given under the said Section 415 of the last-mentioned Act:

And whereas the Board of Trade have certified that certain statutory regulations which have been approved by the Government of the Netherlands relating to overloading, so far as regards the assignment of loadlines to ships belonging to the Netherlands on and after the 1st January, 1909, are equally effective with the corresponding regulations in force in this country respecting the assignment of loadlines to British merchant ships:

Now therefore, His Majesty in Council doth direct that on proof that ships belonging to the Netherlands have complied with the aforesaid regulations of the Government of the Netherlands such ships shall not, when in ports of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention. for non-compliance with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to over- loading, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions.

CHAPTER XVII.

CAUTION BOARDS.

218.---Whenever it is necessary to restrict the speed of trains on the main lite owing to the erection of temporary structure such as, for instance, the rebuilding of a bridge or culvert, or to carry out any alterations in the permanent-way over a bridge, the following precautions must be observed:-

(1) A semaphore signal is to be erected at each end of a diversion or temporary structure, which is to be kept at Danger until the train is brought to a stand. The signal will be then lowered under the orders of the subordinate in charge of the work and the train allowed to proceed over the temporary structure on such a rate of speed as may be considered necessary.

(2) In addition to the semaphore, a rectangular caution board should be erected at a distance of 3 telegraph posts in advance of the semaphore and showing figures indicating the maximum number of miles per hour of the speed permitted over the length on which the restriction of speed is to be observed.

(3) When the work is of such a nature that the line is broken as in the case of re-cross sleepering bridges or renewing rails, a red banner must be stretched across the track on either side, and not removed until the line has been restored.

(4) In all cases drivers must be instructed to maintain the reduced speed and to receive a signal from the guard in the rear van indicating that the whole of the train is passed over the length on which the restriction of speed is to be observed.

(5) The following is a specimen of the rules to be observed by drivers and guards, which should be issued by the Engineer in charge before the work is commenced, and which should be sent by him to the Loco. Superintendent and Traffic Superintendent before the restriction of speed is to be on, so that those officers may have time to advise all the members of their staff concerned :-

(a) The diversion will be opened commencing at mile

and ending at mile

The semaphore stop signals will be erected at each end of the diversion, and a caution board 3 tele- graph posts in advance of each semaphore. The caution signals will, in cases where the speed requires to be reduced within a definite limit, he given-

BY DAY by a rectangular caution board erected at each end of the portion of the line over which the speed has to be reduced, and showing figures indicating the maximum number of miles per hour of speed permitted over this portion; and BY NIGHT by two green lights placed horizontally one on each side of the above caution board, and illuminating the limiting speed figures which will be exhibited between these lights.

(b) The drivers of all trains must stop dead at the sema- phore signal, and are not to proceed until the signal has been lowered. When the signal has been lowered, the driver will enter No. of his train and sign his name in the book that will be handed to him by the signalman, and may th proceed at a speed of not more than 5 miles an hour, or as the case may be, taking care to see that his train is under proper control, not using the vacuum brake unless absolutely necessary.

370

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910.

(c) The guard should be on the lookout for signals, and should be prepared to help the driver to keep the train under proper control while passing over tho work. The guard will signal the driver when his van has passed the signal at the end of the diver- sion and the train has cleared the length over which the restriction extends.

Distinction between lorries and trollies.

CHAPTER XVIII.

LORRIES AND TROLLIES.

219.-For the purpose of these rules, a lorry is defined as a vehicle used for the conveyance of materials; and a trolly, as a light vehicle usually fitted with springs intended for the conveyance of persons only. A trolly must not be used for the conveyance of heavy materials, and neither a trolly nor a lorry must be used in the formation of, or be attached to, trains.

220.-Under all circumstances when trollies or lorries are in use on the main line or in station yards, they must, unless an officer of the Engineering Department is present, be accompanied by a trustworthy subordinate of the Engineering Department, who will be held responsible that they are worked according to rules. These authorised persons will each be furnished with a certificate signed by the Engineer in charge stating that they are qualified to be in charge of trollies on the open line.

221.-No lorry or trolly is to be placed on the line without the permission of the Inspector of the section or other duly authorised person, and notice must at once be given to the Stationmaster at each of the nearest stations.

222.-The notice to the Stationmaster required under the foregoing rule is to be given in writing.

223.-Persons unconnected with the railway must not be allowed to travel on a trolly or lorry unless permitted to do so by an authorised officer, and these only when accompanied by a respon- sible subordinate or officers of the Engineering Department.

224. When lorries or trollies are in use, the person in charge must have with him a watch, a copy of the working time-table, 2 red and 2 green signal flags, a lamp showing red in both direc tions, 2 hand signal lamps, 6 fog signals, a chain and padlock, and in the case of lorries, 2 red banners. The person in charge must enquire at each station he comes to, whether extra, special, loco., wood or ballast trains are running, and Stationmasters are to afford full information in answer to such enquiries; and if demanded by the person in charge of the lorry or trolly, the information must be in writing.

225. Except in cases of emergency, lorries or trollies must not be placed on traffic or loco. lines at night or in foggy weather, nor when the view is impeded by heavy rain or any other cause.

226.-The person in charge of a lorry in use on the line must exhibit conspicuously a red flag by day, and if worked in case of emergency by night, a light showing red in both directions front and rear.

When outside station limits on a single line, it must be preceded and followed at intervals of not less than half a mile (880 yards), increasing the distance should the gradient or curves require it, by men bearing a red flag by day or a red lamp by night. Within station limits, similar danger signals must be exhi- bited at such a distance on each side as will ensure safety.

(a) A trolly, when in use, must have exhibited on it, as above described, a red flag by day and a light showing red in both direc- tions front and rear by night; but except when on or near curves or parts of the line when a clear view is not obtainable for half a mile in front and rear of the trolly, it need not be preceded or followed by men carrying a red flag.

(b) The speed of lorries must not exceed 6 miles, and of trollies 10 miles an hour.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910. 371

(c) Every one in charge of, or travelling by a trolly or lorry, must keep a sharp lookout, and always be on the alert to guard against accidents.

227.--Both trollies and lorries, loaded or otherwise, must be provided with efficient brakes, the latter with screw brakes, before being awed to work. No other sort being permitted, and in no case shall workmen or subordinates working lorries be allowed to ride thereon

228.-Lorries will only be permitted to work under absolute blocks, rules, and care must be taken that such block is not applied for unless the lorry can clear the section in time so as not to prevent the working of Ordinary traffic.

229. When a trolley is put on the line it is the duty of the person using it to-

(1) see that his time agrees with the Station time.

(2) to enquire of the Stationmaster as to any special

running and others running late.

(3) to give a trolley notice in the prescribed form. 230.-Every one in charge of, or travelling by, a lorry or trolly must keep a sharp lookout, and always be on the alert to guard against accident. Engine Drivers must also be on the look- out for lorries or trollies when running on a Section on which they have been advised of their working; and when drivers are running on a portion of the line where, on account of sharp curves or from any other cause, their view is obstructed, they must whistle at short intervals.

231.-Gatemen and Gangmen must exhibit a Danger signal when they see a lorry or trolly approaching them, and must keep the Danger signal exhibited till the lorry or trolly has proceeded beyond them for a distance of at least half a mile, or until it is removed from the line.

232.-It is the duty of the Stationmaster to endorse all Line Clear Tickets for the information of the Engine Driver with the words: Trolly on line between Station and Station, left this

at.

Or to include the same in the pouch when tokens are employed. 233.-When lorries are required to remain stationary on the line for any time exceeding 15 minutes, they must be protected at intervals of half a mile on each side by "Red banners," 7 feet long by 2 feet wide, stretched across the line between poles not less than 5 feet high.

234. When not in use, unless a suitable siding is available, lorries or trollies must be taken off the rails and carried well clear of the line. In all cases the wheels must be secured with a chain and padlock.

235.-Lorries must be moved clear of the main line, or if within station limits, of the line on which a train or engine is to run, at least 30 minutes before a train or engine is due. Trollies must be moved from the line in sufficient time to ensure safety and to avoid delay to trains.

236.--In the event of its becoming impossible from any cause to carry out the rules, it will be the duty of the person in charge of a lorry or trolly to have it at once removed from the line until it can be taken along a strict observance of rules and regulations. 237.-Every servant of the railway is required to report immediately to his superior officer any infringement of the rules and regulations which may come to his knowledge.

238.--Trellies and lorries at the end of a day's work are not to be taken off and left alongside the line, but must be run into the nearest station yard, and they are not to be left on station plat- forms.

239.-The staff are warned that, if an accident to a trolly occurs while in their charge, due to any neglect of the rules on their part, they are liable for prosecution and dismissal.

Extract from the Railways Ordinance, 1909, Section 59:-

We find that the British Steamship Kum Chow, Official Number 128,682 of Hongkong, of which JOHN MARTIN, the number of whose certificate is 103 (Singapore), is Master, was lying in the port of Hongkong on the night of the 13th-14th September, 1910, intending to sail at 10 a.m. on the 14th for Saigon, with a general cargo, consisting chiefly of flour, sugar, and Chinese goods; there were also several cases of wooden matches in the after hold. There were 320 Chinese passengers on board.

The Master, whose home is in Hongkong, left the ship at 5 p.m. after all the cargo was stowed and passengers on board, leaving orders to take in 125 tons of bunker coal and to have everything ready for sailing by 10 a.m. All other Officers remained on board.

At about 11 p.m. the coal came alongside in two lighters, one going each side of the ship, and immediately after, she commenced taking it in from the lighter on the port side, under the personal superintendence of the Chief Engineer. The coal coolies were using ordinary bunker lamps, in which was burned kerosene oil instead of colza. These lamps were used not only in the bunker but in the alley ways through which the coal had to pass to the bunker hatches.

At about 2 a.m. fire was discovered in the port alley way, the wooden casing, and door leading to the No. 2 'tween deck, being well alight. The fire spread with great rapidity until in three minutes, the midship section of the ship was ablaze, the fire involving the officers' cabins, both alley ways, the bridge deck, chart room, wheel house, master's room, and saloon, and severing all communication between the two ends of the ship.

The Second Mate got hoses along on fore deck, and the Chief Engineer started the pump, but the ship's hoses were not of much use, as, owing to the disappearance of all the crew, there was no body to assist the Officers, and the hoses were quickly burned.

The Government Fire Float arrived alongside at 2.30 a.m. and succeeded in extinguish- ing the fire by 6 a.m., the second float arriving at 3.30 and ably assisting.

There is no evidence to show the origin of the fire, but the inference from the evidence adduced is that in some way unexplained some kerosene oil became ignited in the doorway leading from the port alley to the ladder to the 'tween decks, and that this communicated the flames to the wooden door and casing.

We are of opinion that the use of kerosene oil in bunker lamps should be forbidden.

No blame attaches to any of the Certificated Officers. But we wish to place on record our sense of the most reprehensible conduct of the crew in leaving the ship when she was in so critical a position.

We consider that the fire floats arrived promptly, and that no time was lost in getting them to work.

Miscellaneous.

DOWNING STREET,

24th August, 1910.

SIR,- With reference to my despatch Miscellaneous of the 13th of May last, I have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying copies of the Prospectus of the Bulletin of the Committee of Entomological Research (Tropical Africa), which was appointed last year, together with specimen plate and pages,* and copy of the subscription slip.

2. The Committee, which is working under the Presidency of the Earl of Cromer, is composed of the following experts in tropical medicine and entomology :--

Lieutenant Colonel A. ALCOCK, C.I.E., F.R.S.

Mr. E. E. AUSTEN, Natural History Museum.

Dr. A. G. BAGSHAWE, Director of the Sleeping Sickness Bureau. Dr. J. ROSE BRADFORD, F.R.S., Secretary of the Royal Society. Colonel Sir DAVID BRUCE, C.B., F.R.S., R. A. M.C.

Dr. S. F. HARMER, Natural History Museum.

Dr. R. S. MACDOUGALL, Board of Agriculture.

Sir JOHN MACFADYEAN, F.R.S., Royal Veterinary College.

Sir PATRICK MANSON, K.C.M.G., F.R.S.

Mr. R. NEWSTEAD, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

Professor G. H. F. NUTTALL, F.R.S., University of Cambridge.

Professor E. B. POULTON, F.R.S., University of Oxford.

Lieut. Colonel D. PRAIN, C.I.E., F.R.S., Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew.

The Honourable N. C. ROTHSCHILD.

Mr. H. Scort, University of Cambridge.

Mr. S. STOCKMAN, Chief Veterinary Officer, Board of Agriculture.

Mr. F. V. THEOBALD, Agricultural College, Kent.

Mr. C. WARBURTON, University of Cambridge.

3. Although the work of the Committee is confined, at all events for the present, to research in Tropical Africa, its publications will no doubt be of value to all who are interested in entomology in other parts of the world.

4. I shall therefore be glad if you will take such steps as you may consider expedient to make the Bulletin known as widely as possible in the Colony, both through the Heads of Government Departments and to the non-official element through the local Press.

5. As stated in the Prospectus it is proposed to issue four or more parts a year, the subscription being fixed at 10/- for the first year, while copies of the separate parts may be obtained, if it is so desired. All subscriptions and communications on the subject of the Bulletin should be sent to Mr. GUY MARSHALL, Scientific Secretary to the Committee, at the British Museum of Natural History, Cromwell Road, London.

In view of the increasing attention which has been paid to the subject of recent years, it is hardly necessary to insist at length upon the immense importance of the study of Economic Entomology, whether from the point of view of Public Health or of Commerce.

Apart from the obvious and wide-spread destruction of useful and valuable plant- products by insect pests, it is now a matter of common knowledge that many of the most dreaded of human diseases, such as plague, sleeping sickness, yellow fever and malaria, are disseminated purely by the agency of biting insects; while recent investigations have proved that other blood-sucking Arthropods are similarly responsible for many of the most serious ailments which affect domestic animals.

Tropical Africa offers one of the most striking instances of the way in which the development of a fertile country, having great possibilities, may be hampered and retarded by the wide spread occurrence of noxious insects; and it is to this field that the recently appointed Entomological Research Committee will principally direct their energies.

In attempting to deal with insect-borne diseases, one of the first essentials is a knowledge of the life-histories of the insects concerned; for it is usually in their earlier stages that such insects can be most effectively destroyed. It is also of considerable importance to learn the habits and exact distribution of the mature insects; and with this end in view an organisation has already been set on foot in order to stimulate the observation and collecting of injurious insects on an extended scale over a considerable area of the African continent.

For the purpose of publishing the practical and scientific results which will be obtained through the medium of this organisation, it is proposed to issue a journal, to be called "THE BULLETIN OF ENTOMOLOGICAL RESEARCH

This journal will contain accounts of the observations made by field-workers which may have any bearing on the subject of Economic Entomology; descriptions of insect life-histories, with figures of their earlier stages; reports on practical methods for destroying or keeping in check any noxious species; papers by specialists dealing with the systematic classification of such groups as are known to be, or are likely to be, injurious to human beings, live-stock, or agriculture; and so forth. The requirements of medical men, farmers, &c., who have no special knowledge of Entomology, will also be kept in view; and fully illustrated papers will be issued from time to time showing, as simply as possible, the characters by which the more important pests may be recognised. In this connection, the value of good illustrations cannot be over-estimated, and it is proposed to make these a special feature of the Bulletin. Brief accounts will also be given periodically of any useful work and important discoveries that may have taken place in connection with Economic Entomology outside the area with which the Research Committee is more particularly concerned.

That two other steamers sailed at approximately the same hour, and that they all followed each other closely down the river against a flood tide.

F. H. MAY, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 2, 1910. 535

After passing the Whampoa Barrier, it would appear that the Пoi Ming attempted to pass the Kwong Tung and in so doing she collided with the latter vessel, infiicting slight damage on both ships. The cause of the collision was a rivalry between two competing vessels, and consequent carelessness in navigation on the part of both. We consider that ships should not follow each other so closely in these narrow waters and that steps should be taken to prevent the racing which is so liable to result from the present system.

The evidence shows that the Steamship Hoi Ming was immediately to blame for the collision, being the overtaking vessel.

We do not consider that the case is sufficiently serious to call for the cancellation or suspension of the certificate of competency of the master of either vessel, but would point out that the practices above alluded to may, if persisted in, lead to most serious conse- quences.

SIR, I have the honour to transmit, for your information, copies of an Order in Council of the 13th of October, 1910, providing for the recognition in the United Kingdom of the loadline certificates issued to Swedish ships by the Swedish authorities under the Swedish Royal Ordinance of 21st May last.

AT THE COURT AT SAINT JAMES'S,

THE 13TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1910. PRESENT,

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS by Section four hundred and forty-five of the Merchant Shipping Act,

where certify

tions for the time being in force in any foreign country and relating to overloading and improper loading are equally effective with the provisions of that Act relating thereto, His Majesty in Council may direct that on proof of a ship of that country having complied with those laws and regulations, she shall not, when in a port of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention for non-compliance with the said provisions of that Act, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions:

And whereas by Section one of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1996, provision, as is more particularly therein mentioned, is made for applying to foreign ships while they are within any port in the United Kingdom certain sections of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, which relate to loadline, without prejudice to any direction of His Majesty in Council given under the said Section four hundred and forty-five of the last-mentioned "Act :

And whereas the Board of Trade have certified that certain statutory regulations which have been approved by the Swedish Government relating to overloading, so far regards the assignment of loadlines to Swedish ships, are equally effective with the corresponding regulations in force in this country respecting the assignment of loadlines to British Merchant ships:

Now therefore, His Majesty in Council doth direct that on proof that Swedish ships have complied with the aforesaid Swedish regulations, such ships shall not, when in ports of the United Kingdom, be liable to detention for non-compliance with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to overloading, nor shall there arise any liability to any fine or penalty which would otherwise arise for non-compliance with those provisions.

COCAINE REGULATIONS.

On and after the 1st December 1910 the manufacture in China by Chinese and foreigne of cocaine, and of syringes, needles, and such-like instruments for its use, is absolutely prohibited; and the importation of the same into China by Chinese and foreigners is likewise prohibited, except in the case of duly qualified foreign medical practitioners, foreign chemists and druggists, civil hospitals established by government in any province, military and naval hospitals and surgeons, and medical colleges of any kind complying with the following conditions:-

1o. Duly qualified foreign medical practitioners desiring to import cocaine and/or instruments for its use must sign a Bond before their Consul stating the quantities to be imported and their values, the place whence arriving, and the method of importation, whether by steamer (the name of which must be given), rail, or post, and guaranteeing that these articles will be employed for medicinal purposes only, either in their private practice or in some specified hospital. Upon the Consul forwarding the Bond to the Custom House, a special Landing Permit will be issued after payment of duty. 2o. Foreign chemists and druggists desiring to import cocaine and/or instruments for its use must sign a Bond before their Consul stating the quantities to be imported and their value, the place whence arriving, and the method of importation, whether by steamer (the name of which must be given), rail, or post, and guaranteeing that these articles will be used exclusively in the compounding of prescriptions or sold in small quantities only on the requisition of a duly qualified foreign medical practitioner. Upon the Consul forwarding the Bond to the Custom House, a special Landing Permit will be issued after payment of duty.

3°. Any such importer of cocaine and/or instruments for its use found dealing with-or selling--such, otherwise than in accordance with the terms of his Bond will not be permitted to make any further importation.

4°. All cocaine and/or instruments for its use landed without Customs Special

Permit will be confiscated

5°. Duty on cocaine and inst nents fits use imported under the above provi-

6°. When civil hospitals established by government in any province, military and naval hospitals and surgeons, or medical colleges of any kind, require cocaine and/or instruments for its use for medicinal or scientific purposes, the proper government authorities, to whose control they are subject, must inform the Customs Superintendent in a sealed despatch (which takes the place of a Bond) stating the quantities which it is desired to import, their value, the place whence arriving and the method of importation, and guaranteeing that such drug and/or such instruments will be used exclu- sively for medicinal or scientific purposes. The Superintendent will then apprise the Customs, who will release the articles concerned upon presenta- tion by the importer of the Huchao issued by the authorities referred to above, and after verification of goods and payment of duty. In other res- pects the provisions of the other Cocaine Regulations will apply.

The necessary blank Bond forms will be issued by the Customs on application free of charge.
