  1. CHART.

Time allowed 2 hours.

  1. On 5th September, 1925, at 10 h. 58 m., when making for Spithead
    in hazy weather, steering N. 67° W. by compass and steaming
    10 knots, Bembridge Fort flagstaff was sighted bearing N. 85° W.
    by compass. At 11 h. 07 m., when the Warner Lt.-V. was
    sighted bearing N. 27° W. by compass, the course was altered
    to N. 24° W. by compass. At 11 h. 30 m., when Noman’s
    Fort and St. Helen’s Fort bore in transit, the course was changed
    to N. 50° W. by compass. At noon, when Spit Fort and
    Gilkicker Fort bore S. 64° E. by compass, the ship was steadied
    on N. 64° W. by compass. At 12 h. 12 m., when off Bramble
    Bank buoy, the following angles were taken: Old Castle Point
    (bathhouse) 51°, Trinity Church 22°, Egypt Point Lt.-Ho.

[NOTE.—When steering the first and second courses the
tidal stream set N. 54° W. (mag.) at 2 knots; and west
(mag.) of unknown strength when steering the third and
fourth courses.

Using deviation-card No. 4, find the magnetic courses and
distances made good, the average speed during the run, the
latitude and longitude at noon, and the magnetic bearing and
distance of Spit Fort from the intersection of the second and
third courses.

Find also the expected height of the tide above chart datum
at Hythe at 01 h. 08 m. standard time, using the special table
on page 360.

  1. Find the course to steer by compass from Spit Fort Lt., bearing
    074° and distant 18 cables, to Spit Fort, bearing 331° and
    distant 23 cables, to counteract the effect of the tide as
    indicated on the chart 1 hour after H.W. at Portsmouth, ship
    steaming 8 knots; also the distance the ship would then make
    good in 30 minutes.

  2. ESSAY.

Time allowed 2 hours.

Meteorology or other subject, as may be selected by the Examiner.

APPENDIX K.

194. Sea Service required to qualify for Examination for Certificates of Competency:—

The following is a condensed statement of the sea service required
to qualify in each of the various grades of certificates of competency.
Where service as an officer is required it is shown in tabular form.
The letters F.G. are used as denoting foreign-going; and H.T. as
denoting home trade: thus, 1 F.G. in the first column of the table
showing the officer’s service for a first mate’s certificate means one
year’s service in foreign-going ships; mate H.T. in the last column
means mate of a home-trade ship; 1½ H.T. in the first column
means a year and a half’s service in the home trade; and so on.

A candidate for an ordinary (square-rigged) certificate must prove
that at least twelve months of his service has been spent in square-
rigged sailing-ships, and a candidate for a fore-and-aft certificate
must prove that at least twelve months of his service has been spent
in sailing-ships, either square-rigged or fore-and-aft-rigged.

Minimum age, 18 years. Minimum sea service, 4 F.G. or 6 H.T.
No officer’s service required.
