66 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1873.
ance Company," Hand Engines of Chinese Associations, and the Steam and Hand Engines of Government Brigade were taken to the vicinity of the Sailors' Home. The Steam Engine of "Hongkong Insurance Company" worked from the sea with one branch of delivery Hose, about 500 feet. No. 1 Steam Engine of Government Brigade also worked from the sea with four branches of delivery Hose, each extending about 400 feet to Queen's Road, and No. 2 Steam Engine worked from the sea with two branches of delivery Hose, each 216 feet in length: all worked satisfactorily.
In practising the Firemen to replace a supposed bursting of 300 feet of Hose, the Hose on the Reel became entangled from not recollecting that it had been put on the Reel for two branclies to be simultaneously run out; this caused delay, but it was a matter of practice only and knowledge was gained.
At these last two Inspections, the comparative merits of leather and canvas Hose was fairly tested, and I consider that the canvas is at least equal to the leather.
I have the honor to be,
The Honorable CECIL C. SMITH.
Acting Colonial Secretary,
HONGKONG.
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
C. MAY,
Superintendent, Fire Brigade.
