Corrections by Tables.—In the Knowledge of Principles
paper for second mate the corrections by inspection of tables given
in some of the works on navigation will not be allowed; every
correction must appear on the papers of the candidates. (138.)
Candidates may use own Method.—Candidates will be
allowed to work out the various problems according to any method
they have been accustomed to use, provided such method is correct
in principle. (139.)
Degree of Precision required.—When making calculations for
obtaining a ship's position candidates are expected to work to 0·2 of
a minute of arc and to the nearest second of time.
The method of calculation used in obtaining a position-line should
be capable of giving an answer within 0·5 of a mile.
In calculation of compass errors, bearings, and courses, the answer
should be worked to within 0·25 of a degree, but in chart work 0·5
of a degree is sufficient.
In calculating the correction to apply to soundings the candidate
is not required to work to the exact inch, as is sometimes done. It
will be sufficient if he brings his answer within half a foot or so of a
precise result. (140.)

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
