THE following notice, which has been received from the Naval Adviser, is published for the information of shipowners and others concerned.

GEORGE ALLPORT,
Secretary.

Naval Adviser’s Office, H.M.S. “Philomel,”
Wellington, 30th November, 1918.

In view of the recently established facilities for wireless communication between shipowners in New Zealand and ships at sea, the Naval Adviser desires to notify to all concerned that shipowners should take any steps considered necessary by them to be informed of any maritime disaster happening to their vessels in the waters surrounding New Zealand, and should no longer rely upon being acquainted with such matters by the local Naval authorities, who have necessarily been the channel of such communications until now.

It is further notified that the Naval Adviser’s Office and the Naval Intelligence Office will, in the near future, observe ordinary Government working-hours, and that neither office will be open continuously as hitherto.

P. H. HALL-THOMPSON,
Captain, R.N., Naval Adviser.
