On the 21nd the Calchas brought in news and signalled also at Gap Rock to the affect that there was a large number of dir masted Junks to the south-west and the west of Gap Rock, We immediately sent out the David Glūica, which was hired from the Dock Com pany.

At the same time I applied to the Commodore asking him to give assistance. He sent out two des- troyers and brought in two jucks and gave rice and water to the various crews. Next day two destroyers went out and brought in three more idoks and gave rice and water. On the Mon day further reports reached us from Gap Rock that there was a number of derelict Junks floating about. I again communicated with the Commodore and on" Monday night he sent out two destroyers and the Cadmua. They have not yet returned. They took 305 lbs. of rice each and ibe Stanley, which was passing on that day to make her usual fortnightly irip to Gap Rock, also took out soalbs of rice. The hire of the David Gillies cost $500 and 2,700 lb of rice cost $113 and the Financial Minuto now before the Council is for that amount. I may also say that the Telemachus brought in eleven men and the Mathilde six jucks, which is a most creditable performance (Applause) The Helena also brought in six. teen man and I have just hoard that the Quinta towed a junk into safety (Applause), "Oiber vessels have brought in biber junks.

The main interest, of courie, centred in the amateur riding contest, which was productive of considerable merriment.

Will the Government, taking into con- alderation the fact of Mr. Carter's good service,
and that owing tobis age he is now no longer aligible for obtaining fresh employment in a
Goverment or municipal office, recommend to the Secretary of State that under the ex- ceptional circumstances of the case Mr. Carter. be granted a special pension of sny £130 p.m.; or-as an alternative so offer of re-employment- here on similar conditions to those of his former past?

lo the event of the Government being unible to agree to this will His Excellency consent to refer the question or now raised to the Secretary of State?
The Colonial Secretary replied:
1. Mr. Carter first received notice of the in- tention to place bim on a pension in a letter from the Colonial Office dated the 28th of July. 2. It is fact that Mr. Carter went homs on a year's leave on lat September, 1908. He applied for three months' exten sion of that leave prior to the lotimation above referred to conveyed to him on 241b July ...and he has been granted an extension of his
leave of two months,
Mr. H.-W. Just of the Colonial Office in a letter to Mr. Carter dated the 14th of last September wrote: "With regard to your re quest for a special pession I am to "observe that you have been granted the addition allowed sader the regulations for abolition of office and that it is not possible to consider the grant of a special pension."
4. The point has already been placed before the Secretary of State. The Government has already considered the possibility of employlag Mr. Carter in dóma capacity and should a suitable vacancy arise his claim to re-employ ment will not be overlooked. (Applause)
