Description

William Wesley Pole. In future no person will be allowed to pass an examination to qualify to serve as a Master until attaining the age of 21 or have been at least 7 years at sea. John Francis Brooks has applied to be examined, but he has not served any time on board a King's ship in the capacities set out in the Regulations. He has, however, served nearly 8 years in the East India Service, 4 of which were as 6th, 4th and 3rd Mate. Ask, in the present scarcity of Masters, whether Mr Brooks' examination can be authorized, even though his service is outside the literal provisions of the Order in Council.
