If he does not pass the remainder of the examination within this period he will again be required to be examined both in the written and in the oral portions. The Governor may in exceptional circumstances decide to extend the period up to a limit of one year.
In the case of a second failure or any subsequent failure in the written or in the oral portion of the examination, or in both, an interval of two months must clapse from the date of the last failure before a candidate can be re- examined. No further penalty will be imposed save in those cases where the examiner considers further sea service necessary. This sea service will not exceed six months.
