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.

7. 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 Superin-
   tendent, on his producing an order which will be
   given him by the Examiner. The fees are as
   follows:—

First-class Engineer’s Certificate £ s. d.
Second-class Engineer’s Certificate 2 0 0
For First-class Engineer’s Certifi- 1 0 0
cate, if already in possession of
a Second-class Certificate ... 1 0 0

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

The following regulation shall apply to all exami-
nations held under the Regulations made by the
above-mentioned Act:—

In every case that there is reason to believe that
any examination has been improperly made, the case
may be remitted, either to the same or to any other
Examiners, and a re-examination of the applicant, or
a further inquiry into his testimonials and character,
may be required before granting him a certificate.
