Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy. Is my hon. and gallant friend aware that many of the best ship- ping lines have pension and super annuation schemes for their offi- cers, and that this means that the Admiralty are employing officers under worse conditions than other good employers; and will he look into the matter with a view to pro- ducing a scheme?

Lieut.-Colonel Headlam. The Admiralty are looking into the question at the present time, and I hope a superannuation scheme may be devised. I cannot say how long it would take to produce such a scheme, but it would naturally take a considerable time.

The times and heights are given for Kaulung; but they may be used for the Victoria, Naval yard and Aberdeen, the differences being very small.
