to a minimum. Overhauls and refitting
are done during slack seasons, and other
boats take over the work so that there
will be no interruption in this very valu-
able service.

The boats are manned by qualified per-
sonnel, the large boats having certificated
skippers and engineers. The ranks, de-
pending upon the size of the boat, the
qualifications of the officer, and his length
of service, vary from First Class Skipper,
equivalent to Staff-Sergeant, to Third
Class Skipper, equivalent to Corporal. In
the same way, Engineer 1st Class is
equivalent to a Sergeant, Engineer 2nd
Class to Corporal, Engineer 3rd Class to
Ist Class Constable, and Engineer 4th
Class to 2nd Class Constable. Radio
operators rank in the same way as other
members of the Radio Branch. Many
members of the marine section have had
previous training either as deck or engine
room officers, and after their enlistment
in the Police, have taken additional train-
ing in the work and duties of a police
officer so that they may become fully

proficient in their multifarious duties. In

the early days of the Marine Section it
was not necessary to have fully qualified
officers on our boats, the usual knowledge
possessed by the average fisherman being
sufficient. But as time went on and the
boats became larger, with additional
duties to be performed, and frequently
passengers to be carried, it was necessary
to secure fully competent men in navi-
gation and engine maintenance. This
will be appreciated when one considers
the value of a single boat may be
anywhere between the value of ten to
twenty-five automobiles, and no service
stations to drop into for repairs.
