128. Three beat launches and one general patrol launch were kept on service day and night throughout the year.
129. No. 10 motor boat is to be replaced by a new motor boat now under construction. No. 12 motor boat performs very useful special harbour duty. It is also used by passport officers, who, it is hoped, will be provided with a new motor boat during 1940 for passport examination duties. No. 11 motor boat has performed valuable duties on the Shum Chun river patrol. No. 15 and No. 16 launches are stationed at Sai Kung and Tai O respectively. All motor boats are in good condition for the constant service required.
130. Two half yearly machine gun courses were fired on the four cruising launches with very fair results. The 3-pounder crews of all cruising launches fired one 3-pounder course with satisfactory results. Greener guns and Winchester rifles are supplied to cruising launches. The crews were trained regularly in the use of these arms and fired an annual course in both with good results. The Department is again indebted to the courtesy of the Naval Authorities for assistance in maintenance, supervision and practice with 3-pounder guns.
June, 1940.
