General Remarks The vessel is manned and maintained by a crew of three;
viz. Navigator, deckhand and deckboy, and with this staff continues to give
entirely satisfactory service, a result which is in part due to the care of
the Navigator, who has control of ship and machinery.
She is a very useful addition to the Service, and though not able to
withstand the heavy punishment accepted by her steel-built sister ships, it
is certain that she will acquit herself worthily in the tasks for which she
is intended.
