Present :

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS it is enacted by section one hundred and ninety-seven of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, that the Governor may from time to time by Order in Council make rules, called “Rules for Life-saving Appliances,” with respect to all or any of the matters referred to in the said section : And whereas such rules were made by the Governor in Council on the twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the thirtieth day of the same month : And whereas it is desirable to amend such rules :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby revoke the first clause of paragraph (c), but not the proviso thereto, of section nine (additional equipment for certain boats) of the general rules made by the hereinbefore-mentioned Order in Council of the twenty-seventh day of July, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and doth hereby substitute the following paragraph therefor :—

(c.) With sufficient fresh water to give 1 pint per day for each person the boat is certified to carry ; with sufficient biscuits made of wheat-flour with 20 per cent. of plasmon, laitproto, or such other material as may be approved by the Marine Department, weighing 2 oz. or 4 oz. each, to give 8 oz. per day for each person, and with sufficient chocolate in 1 oz. squares to give 2 oz. per day for each person (home-trade ships to carry two days’ supply, and ships plying beyond home-trade limits four days’ supply) ; with matches, six blue lights, twelve fish-hooks, and three fishing-lines. The water shall be kept in airtight metal tanks or in proper kegs, and shall be kept in such part of the boat as may be approved by the Surveyor. Each water-vessel shall have attached to it a dipper or other approved means of getting the water out without waste, and when tanks are used they shall have screw tops 3½ in. inside measurement, each top to have two snugs ¾ in. deep and ¾ in. diameter. The other articles enumerated in this subsection shall be kept in airtight and watertight receptacles, with screw tops 5 in. inside measurement, each top to have two snugs each ¾ in. deep and ¾ in. diameter, and such receptacles shall be securely fastened in the boats and life-rafts : Provided that screw tops which were procured without the prescribed snugs by shipowners prior to the 23rd November, 1903, may be used if they are made so that they can be screwed up and unscrewed without difficulty, and the Surveyor considers they are suitable.
