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 circunstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the sea- worthiness of the vessel. Where the ease requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amonut of the surveyor's time, the higher fee of $30 and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the ease and the number of visits made.

Where a declaration has been granted for a Steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be mule on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above. The feo paid in accordance with the above seale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not, however, upply to, or includo, any inspection of lights, fog signals, or marking, made subsequently to such survey.

The fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts does not cover any survey of a Steam-ship for a Passenger Certificato under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.
