When called out, all Volunteer's liable to serve
94. It is intended that the Naval Volunteer
Reserve Force shall be called out only when an
emergency requires a sudden increase in the
Naval force of the country. In such a case the
Naval Volunteers will be called out by
Royal Proclamation, and all Naval Volunteers
for the time being, belonging to the force, are
liable to serve in the Navy.

Exceptions.
95. Any Naval Volunteer who may be ser-
ving at any place abroad, will be liable to
serve in the Royal Navy if called upon by the
Officer commanding any of Her Majesty's ships
there stationed, unless such Naval Volunteer
can show, by his Certificate R V 2, that he
has obtained leave to go to sea on a long voy-
age without liability to serve abroad.

Officers to co-operate with Naval Officers.
96. Naval Officers commanding Her Majes-
ty's ships in the neighbourhood of the colomal
ports will apply to the Officers who act as Ship-
ping Masters to examine the agreements of
British merchant ships, and to call for any do-
cuments relating to the crew, in order to as-
certain whether any Naval Volunteers are on
board. If any such Naval Volunteers (not
being exempt from liability to serve) are found
the Naval Officer will call on them to join the
Navy, and the Colonial Officer will in all cases
give all the assistance in his power.

Defaulters to be reported.
97. The Officer should report specially any
Volunteers who fail to serve when called on to
do so; also any case in which he has reason to
believe any Naval Volunteer is endeavouring
to evade his liability to serve, or in which he
refuses or neglects to return to the United
Kingdom within the time allowed.
