The Merchant Shipping Act of 1875 required every British ship to have the deck lines conspicuously and permanently marked. Several British ships have arrived here without having their deck lines so marked. I have the honor to inquire whether Your Lordship would wish me to take any steps in consequence.

In the case of local British steamers here, I think it may be better to refrain from enforcing this regulation for the present until I receive Your Lordship's instructions with regard to British ships arriving from Europe.

I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,

Likenees, Governor.

Colonial Chaplain's application for allowance for boat rent.

Faussett, Mr Meade.

(Minutes.)

The Colonial Chaplain to Hong Kong has a higher salary than other Civil Chaplains in the Colonial service that I know of; the Govt gives him a salary supposed to represent £800 a year, & an allowance for Chair coolies pension & other privileges of a City Chaplain of £60 a year; he is not called upon to do more; I mean that the sum provided is sufficient to supply the object Govt has in view: if his own coreligionists like to do more for him, it is a different thing, but we have already had troubles with applications from other denominations for support.
