A special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits. by a Government Surveyor or Surveyors, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the sea- worthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and ovenpies. an unusual amount of the surveyor's time, the higher fee of $30 and upwards will be charged, according to the spe¦ eircumstances of the case and the number of visits monde.

Where a declaration has been granted for a Steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above.
