MINUTE BY CAPTAIN TAYLOUS.
The draft report covers everything, I think. But I should like to give my rea was for dissenting from (a). There is no doubt that many native craft founder dur- ing typhoons out in the harbour before sesistance can be rendered to them, and the crews are generally drowned. The bugs proposed to be used for towing purposes are not suitable for picking up men in the water; they are not sufficiently handy, of too high freeboard to make it easy

It was resolved to recommend that the Government abould ultimately provide at least two tugs of about 100 ft. in length sad 500 To 750 H.P. whose Brat duty abould be the protection of lile and property is typhoon weather. In addition, that the Naval Authorities and other owners of suitable tuga bo ap proached to permit them to assist 14 soon as they could be spared from their own proper duties; the provision of at least two Govern ment tugs being essential as no other are likely to be available for outside work for some little time after the necessity has arisen.
The Government tugs while co to reach a man in the water and get him other than typhoon duty could if on board, they could not lower boats to thought fit bemanned entire.y by exist in the beavy sea, and they would be pick them up, a na ordinary boat could Chinese: but on typhoon duty they apt to do more harm than good in this should be in charge of Europe direction, by injuring the men they want Seamen with local knowledge of the to Kave, with the propellers and rubbing Harbour, to be detailed from the qualified men (volunteers) is the the Chinese iaunches which are big enough streaks.

In other than typhoon weather the Committee anticipate that con siderable employment could, be found for the launches: even by letting them out on hire, if their time could not be filled by such work as attending to lighthouses or tow ing the heavier Banitary Board barges out to sen, and such other work as could be found for them by the Harbour Master.
