9. Colonial and Service Cadets will be appointed on passing the test examination; they must. however, obtain 660 marks in the aggregate, as well as the proportion of marks in arithmetic and other subjects required from the candidates who compete.
10. A candidate who passes the test examination, but does not succeed in the competition, will be entitled to compete at the next examination, provided he is within the regulations as to limits of age at that time. No candidate will be allowed to compete more than twice. A candidate who fails to pass the test will not be entitled to another trial, but he will be allowed to compete at the next examination if he receives a fresh nomination and is still within the limits of age.
11, A candidate who, owing to illness, fails to appear at the examination for which he has obtained his nomination may receive a second nomination, provided he is still within the limits of age. 12. For all Cadets entered under these regulations, the payment will be at the rate of £70 per annum for the period in the Britannia, to be paid half-yearly in advance to the Accountant-General of the Navy. But the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty reserve the power of selecting, from among the Cadets entered at each half-yearly examination, a number, not to exceed 10, being sons of Officers of the Navy, Army, or Marines, or of Civil Officers under the Board of Admiralty, with respect to whom the annual payment will be £40 only. In this selection their Lordships will have regard solely to the pecuniary circumstances of the Cadets.
13. The period of training on board the Britannia will be four terms; there will be two terms in each year. The first term of each year will be from February to July, the second from September to December.
The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Mid-
summer.
14. There will be examinations in Seamanship and Study at the end of each term.
Cadets who pass unsatisfactory examinations, or who are reported for unsatisfactory conduct, will be "warned," and they will be liable to be discharged at the end of the following or any subsequent term, should they again be reported as failing to attain the proper number of marks at the examinations, or for unsatisfactory conduct.
If a Cadet is reported for unsatisfactory conduct during his final term he will be discharged without being allowed to present himself at the examination for passing out of the Britannia.
Any Cadet who shall appear to their Lordships for any reason to be unfit for the Service will be removed from the Britannia.
15. It is to be distinctly understood that the period of training on board the Britannia is a time of probation, and the parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to sign a declaration (on the admission of the Cadet to the Britannia) to the effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of an official intimation of his being considered unfit for the Navy.
16. Cadets will, on passing out of the Britannia, rank according to the amount of sea time they obtain at their final examination, and those who obtain equal amounts of sea time will rank in the order of merit in which they pass out of the Britannia.
17. The parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to provide outfit under the regulations in force.
18. Pay and Pocket money will not be allowed by Government to Cadets entered in and after June, 1881.
