If\ tlie Commissioners for Executing- the Office of Lord Hi^Ii Admiral of ilie| United King-dom of C*reat fBritain and Ireland, At,

Whereas we deem it expedient that the members of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, being natural born or naturalized British subjects, shall be permitted to wear

5

onboard their respective vessels the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty's fleet on the following conditions:

We do, therefore, by virtue of the power and authority vested in us under the provisions of the 105th section of the Merchants' Shipping Act, 1854, hereby warrant and authorize the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty's fleet to be worn on board the respective vessels belonging to the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, and to members of such Yacht Club being natural born or naturalized Brit- ish subjects accordingly, subject to the following subjec- tions :

1. Every vessel belonging to the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron in order to be eligible to wear the ensign authorized by this warrant, shall have been registered as a British vessel in accordance with the Merchant Ship- ping Act, 1854.

2. The ensign shall not, without our authority in writ- ing, be worn on board any vessel belonging to the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, which vessel is lent or hired or otherwise, to any person not being a member of the club, or, who being a member ot the club, is not a natural born or naturalized British subject.

Given under Our Hands and the Seal of this Office of Admiralty this fifteenth day of May, 1894.

(Sgd.) Walter T. Kerr. [Sgd.) G. H. Noel. By command of their Lordships.

(Sgd.) Evan MacGregor.

Extract from Admiralty Circular JLetter Mllfl, 1st Augrust, 1898.

In all applications for warrants for vessels required by the Act to be registered, it is essential that the following particulars be stated :

Name of vessel. Rig.

(5

Length, per Register, Breadth, do.

Tonnage, do. (to decimals). Port of Registry. Name of Owner.

Warrants are granted to the Secretaries of Clubs, and My Lords consider the Clubs responsible for the return of the Warrants. They would therefore suggest that a rule should exist in the Clubr requiring the return of Warrant whenever it becomes obsolete.

Whenever a Warrant ceases to be in operation, either by the sale of the vessel or from any other cause whatso- ever, it is the duty of the Secretary of the Club to return it to this office, as soon as possible* in order that it may be cancelled* and each Warrant should be accompanied! by a statement of the reason for its return.

In the event of a Warrant being lost, the Secretary must acquaint the Secretary of the Admiralty of the same, and the letter should be accompanied by a statement from the owner of the circumstances under which the Warrant has been lost.

Until Warrants are returned, or a satisfactory explan- ation of their non-reiurn is afforded, fresh Warrants will not be issued.

It is requested that copies of the list of vessels of the Club- may be sent to the Admiralty once a year.

Extract from Admiralty Circular JLetter, IiltEM, 1st .July. 1S?0.

My Lords are therefore pleased to direct that in future Warrants are only to be issued to vessels which are regis- tered, and in all applications from Secretaries of Yacht Clubs for Warrants to fly special colors the exact regis- ter, tonnage and port of register of the vessel must be stated.

N. B. — Yacht owners are required to carry their war- rants on board their yachts.
