sioned and complete in the necessary views and sections, or
drawings to scale. Drawing-boards and T-squares will be
provided by the Examiners, but the applicants will have to
bring with them any drawing-instruments they may re-
quire.

38. In the event of any candidate being discovered copy-
    ing from another, or affording any assistance or giving infor-
    mation to another, or communicating in any way with
    another during the time of examination, he will be regarded
    as having failed in his examination, and will be turned back
    for three months in the same manner as if he had failed in
    the practical part of the examination, and no part of the fees
    he may have paid for the examination will be returned to
    him.

39. If the candidate leaves the room before answering any
    question which has been given to him, he cannot afterwards
    be permitted to answer it, but the Examiner may substitute
    other data, or another question.

40. If at expiration of the time allowed, the candidate has
    worked out and correctly answered the whole of the ques-
    tions set to him, and given satisfactory answers in the vivâ
    voce examination, he will be declared to have passed.

41. If at the expiration of the time allowed he has not
    worked out the whole of the questions set to 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, he will be declared to have passed.

42. In all other cases he will be declared to have failed.

43. A report of the examination on the Form Exn. 15 and
    the examination-papers will be forwarded to the Marine
    Department.

44. If the candidate passes he will receive the Form
    Exn. 16, which authorises the Superintendent of Mercantile
    Marine to which it is addressed by the Examiner to issue
    the certificate to the candidate, whose testimonials, &c.,
    will be returned at the same time. It is therefore important
    that the port of destination of the certificate should be the
    same on both the Form Exn. 16 and the Form Exn. 3. If
    circumstances should make any alteration necessary, the
    Examiner should see that it is made on both forms, other-
    wise delay in the issue of the certificate may be caused.

Failure.

45. If the applicant for a first-class, second-class, or
    restricted-limits engineer’s certificate fails, he may not
    present himself for re-examination for three months.
