LAUNCHES.

The Nos. 1, 2 and 4 Cruising Launches have been thoroughly overhauled during the year, they are now all in good running order. No. 2 launch is still troubled with white ants. Kitchens aft had to be stripped and the continuous application of "Atlas A" is required. No. 3 Launch was brought into Hong-kong in May last and found to be in a very bad state. She was condemned and sold. S/L "Shun Lee" was hired to take the place of No. 3 and was later purchased by the Government and is now at Kwong Hip Loong's Shipyard undergoing an overhaul and should prove to be a very useful cruising launch when the work has been completed.

HARBOUR LAUNCHES.

Nos. 5, 6 and 7.-Nos. 6 and 7 have run continuously during the year, No. 6 is in excellent condition, No. 7 requires more attention. They have both done good work during the year. No. 5 is an old boat and it is hard to keep her in running order, she has also done fairly good work during the year. 2 new fast launches have been laid down to replace Nos. 5 and 7 and should be ready by April or May.

MOTOR LAUNCHES.

Nos. 8, 9, 10 and 11.-No. 8 has been employed on passport work with very short breaks for small repairs from 1st January until 3rd December, 1921, when it was handed over to
