MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate if he will state on how many days last year H.M.S. "Jackal" was employed on the International North Sea investigations; and was any application made to the Admiralty for the services of a cruiser to take up the sea police duties for which the "Jackal" was originally detailed.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

During the year 1904 the "Jackal" was employed in connection with the North Sea Investigations for a total period of twenty-seven days, on three different occasions of nine, eight, and ten days each. No relief ship was applied for.
