Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy.

Lieut.-Colonel Headlam. The Admiralty are looking into the question at the present time, and I hope a superannuation scheme may be devised. I cannot say how long it would take to produce such a scheme, but it would naturally take a considerable time.
The times and heights are given for Kaulung; but they may be used for the Victoria, Naval yard and Aberdeen, the differences being very small.
