small vessels where cooking is only part of a man's duty—will be
required to satisfy the Examiner or the Marine Department that they
have during the whole time claimed performed deck duties in addition
to their own particular work, and that they have a good knowledge
of seamanship. These facts may possibly be proved by the
production of satisfactory certificates from the masters with whom
the applicant has served; but such service will only be accepted as
equivalent to two-thirds of the time served as ordinary deck hand.
Failing satisfactory evidence the applicant will be required to perform
additional service in the capacity of seaman. Service as cook
(under conditions other than the above), or as steward, or purser
will not be accepted.

(b.) Service as Wireless Operator.—If a candidate has been engaged
on articles of agreement as seaman, or in any seaman rating,
and has served both as a seaman and as a wireless operator, two-
thirds of such service may be counted as qualifying service.

If a candidate has been engaged on articles of agreement as a
wireless operator, and has served as such, one-quarter of the service
up to a maximum of twelve months may be counted as qualifying
service.

122. Service in Fishing or Pilot Vessels.—Service performed exclusively
     in trawlers and in other deep-sea fishing-vessels or in pilot-
     vessels will not qualify a candidate for examination. He must, in
     addition, prove the following service:

(a.) For a foreign-going certificate, service for at least eighteen
months in an ordinary trading-vessel in the foreign trade,
or the equivalent period, twenty-seven months, in the home
or coasting trade.

(b.) For a home-trade certificate, service for at least twelve months
in an ordinary trading-vessel in the foreign, home, or coast-
ing trade.

123. Service in Yachts.—Service in pleasure-yachts will be accepted as
     qualifying-service under the following conditions:

(a.) It must in all cases be verified by satisfactory proofs, which
must set forth clearly and in detail the nature and duration
of the service claimed; and it must distinctly be understood
that actual sea service only will be accepted, and
that service performed in a harbour or port is inadmissible.

(b.) Service in foreign-going yachts will be accepted in full, and
service performed within home-trade limits in sailing-
yachts of not less than 50 tons net register, or in steam-
yachts of not less than 80 tons gross register, will be
accepted in the proportion stated in para. 108; but candidates
must show also—(1) For a foreign-going certificate,
service for at least eighteen months in an ordinary trading-
vessel in the foreign trade, or for the equivalent period,
twenty-seven months in an ordinary trading-vessel in the
home or coasting trade; (2) for a home-trade certificate,
service for at least twelve months in an ordinary trading-
vessel in the foreign, home, or coasting trade.

(c.) Service within home-trade limits in sailing-yachts of not less
than 20 tons net register, or in steam-yachts of not less
than 40 tons gross register, will be accepted towards qualifying
a candidate for a foreign-going certificate as equivalent
to half the time served in the foreign trade; but no
amount of such service shall count as more than two years'
service in the foreign trade, and no such service shall count
as officers' service to qualify candidates for foreign-going
certificates.

(d.) Service within home-trade limits in sailing-yachts of not less
than 20 tons net register, or in steam-yachts of not less
than 40 tons gross register, will be accepted at the ordinary
rate as qualifying-service for home-trade certificates; but
candidates must prove that they have in addition served
for at least twelve months in an ordinary trading-vessel
in the foreign, home, or coasting trade.

(e.) Service within home-trade limits in sailing-yachts of less
than 20 tons net register, or in steam-yachts of less than
40 tons gross register, will not be accepted as qualifying-
service for any class of certificate.

124. Service in Tugs, War Department Vessels, &c.—Service performed in tugs employed outside partially smooth-water limits
