GENERAL RULES AS TO EXAMINATIONS
AND FEES.

34. Time allowed for working Problems.—The
    examination will be partly vivâ voce, and partly by
    examination papers. It will be directed specially
    to the above points, and to the duties and business of
    an Engineer generally.

If the candidate passes the vivâ voce examination
creditably, a set of questions will be given to work
out.

He will be allowed to work out these questions
according to the methods he is accustomed to use,
and will be allowed five hours to perform the work:
and
(a.) If at the expiration of the time allowed he
has worked out correctly the whole of the
questions set him, he will be declared to have
passed.
(b.) If at the expiration of the time allowed he
has not worked out the whole of the questions
set him, but if the result of the vivâ voce
examination, taken in connection with the
answers to such of the questions as he has
worked out, are sufficient to satisfy the
Examiner that the applicant is competent to
take charge of engines of 100 nominal horse-
power or upwards, he will be declared to have
passed.
(c.) In other cases he will be declared to have
failed.

A report of the Examination, and the Examination
Papers, will be forwarded to the Marine Office.

35. Fees to be paid by Applicants for Examination.—
    The fee for examination must be paid to the Super-
    intendent of the Mercantile Marine Office. If a
    candidate fail in his examination, half the fee he has
    paid will be returned to him by the Superintendent
    on his producing an order which will be given him by
    the Examiner. The fees are as follows:—

First-class Engineer's Certificate
(whether extra or ordinary) ... £ s. d
2 0 0
Second-class Engineer's Certificate ... 1 0 0
For First-class Engineer's Certifi-
cate, if already in possession of
a Second-class Certificate ... 1 0 0

36. Notification of having passed will be given to
    successful Candidates.—If the applicant passes he will
    receive an order from the Examiner, which will
    entitle him to receive his Certificate of Competency
    from the Superintendent of the Mercantile Marine
    Office at the port to which he has directed it to be
    forwarded. His testimonials will be returned with
    his certificate.

37. Unsuccessful Candidates may receive Certificates
    for inferior Grades, if competent.—If applicant is
    examined for the higher grade, and fails, but passes
    an examination of the lower grade, he may receive a
    certificate, accordingly, but no part of the fee will be
    returned.

38. Re-examination in case of failure.—If the ap-
    plicant fails in working out the examination papers,
    he may present himself for re-examination whenever
    he thinks he has acquired sufficient knowledge to
    enable him to pass. But if he fails in the vivâ voce
    or practical part of the examination, he may not
    present himself for re-examination until the expira-
    tion of three months from the date of failure.
