ADMIRALTY SURVEYS.
---
The excellent work which is being done in an unobtrusive man. ner by the Royal Navy in charting the seas and making the oceans free of dangera and obstructions to all who
use them, of whatever nationality, is emphasised by the report, issued recently, ori Ad- miralty Surveys for the year 1929.
The Hydrovrapher of the Navy, Rear-Admiral Henry P. Douglas, C.B., C.M.G., records in a modest document of less than six pages brief summaries of the work of his Department and of the eight surveying vessels (four at home and four abroad) employed. In addition to these ships, H.M.S. Rosemary was employed for about four months of the year taking soundings and making oceanogra- Phic observations in the vicinity of
Rockal Bank and between Iceland and the Faroe Islands, primarily on behalf of the fishing industry. The value of her work was such that the Government has since de- cided to build and equip a special vessel to explore new Úshing grounds.
Of the four surveying ships in Home waters the Beaufort, in ad Jition to her ordinary Burvoys, Marsellins, London, Hull, Hamburg, carried out tidal observations in
