CRUISING LAUNCHES.

During the year 1929 Nos. 1, 2 and 4 Launches have undergone their annual survey and overhaul besides being slipped quarterly when minor repairs were effected.

No. 1 Launch is 27 years old and is no longer fit for the duties she is expected to perform. She is to be replaced by a new Launch, in 1930, provision having been made for a new launch in Estimates 1930.

During 1929 a new No. 3 Launch was constructed by W.S. Bailey & Co. She is equipped with wireless and a three-pounder gun. Her maximum speed is only 10 knots per hour which is insufficient for a Police Cruising Launch.

MOTOR BOATS.

Motor boats Nos. 10, 11 and 12 have been overhauled and are in good condition.

SEARCHLIGHTS.

Searchlights on Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 14 Launches have been overhauled and exercised and are in good working order.

PULLING BOATS.

Pulling boats and gear are in good condition except the boat at Tai O which has been condemned. Application for a motor boat for Tai O is being made in 1931 Estimates.

WIRELESS.

Nos. 2, 3 and 4 Cruising Launches are fitted with wireless, each launch having accommodation for 2 wireless operators.

The wireless has worked satisfactorily and has been of very great service.

MUSKETRY.

All Cruising Launches are equipped with Vickers Guns and quarterly courses have been fired.

The Chinese Deck Staff of Cruising Launches are regularly exercised in the use of Winchester Rifles and Revolvers and fire a quarterly course with revolver and annual course with Winchester Rifle.

Nos. 2, 3 and 4 Cruising Launches are equipped with 3-pounder guns. The European and Chinese gun layers of each of these launches have been through a course of training and fire a half-yearly course.
