Report on the Water Police.

The strength of the Water Police Fleet stands at 4 large cruising launches, 4 harbour launches, and 2 fast motor boats for harbour use.

Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 cruising launches have all undergone their annual repairs for the year, and are in excellent condition with the exception of No. 3, which launch is showing signs of wear and tear, notwithstanding the expensive overhauls she gets yearly.

Nos. 5 and 7 have had a good overhaul and are now in good running order.

Nos. 6 and 8 have a lot of trouble with their engines which are 22 years old and are getting very shaky.

The Motor Boats 9 and 10 have had their engines cleaned and with the exception of a day off every two months to clean up, these boats have run continuously during the year. They are now running splendidly. During the year Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 carried out practice at a mark with rifle and maxim gun.

Signalling by day and night was carried out between the launches and land stations.

Some of the Special Police Reserve assist in carrying out the duties of the Water Police taking the place of the men who are serving at the Front. They are keen and efficient officers on duty and are a credit to themselves and the force generally.

C. W. BECKWITH, Commander, R.N.,
Assistant Supt., Water Police.
