Dear Sir,

23

I am directed by the Superintendent of Navigation to invite attention to the fact that the s.s. "Ling Nam" registered in Canton arrived at this port on the 6th instant on a voyage from Chili via Wellington, New Zealand, Sydney to Hongkong and Chinese ports. She had on board 665 persons including the crew, and the intention was to embark a considerable number of

passengers at Sydney for China.

The "Ling Nam" carried a Certificate No.5677 for a foreign-going steamship, issued in Hongkong and valid

till the 24th February 1924, allowing her to carry 193 cabin passengers, 661 'tween deck passengers, and 135 of a crew. Her life saving appliances comprise 11 lifeboats and one boat to accommodate 143 persons 1010 lifejackets and 24 lifebuoys. This certificate is

headed: - 'M.S. Consolidation Ordinance 10 of 18891.

Section 735 of the Merchant Shipping Act prescribes

that the legislature of a British Possession may repeal certain provisions in the Merchant Shipping Act, which

apparently has been done in Hongkong, and the Ordinance quoted was confirmed by the King in Council on the

10th August, 1903. This Order in Council is dated

10 years before it was made mandatory for British passenger steamers to carry lifeboats for all persons on board.
