All ratings received a provision allowance of 

 is. 5<1. per day and a free kit on entry. All ratings 

 (other than boys) received a gratuity of thirty days' 

 pay on discharge, if they had completed twelve 

 months' service unbroken by desertion. The 

 families of these men were entitled to separation 

 allowance. In regard to the crews of hired drifters, 

 these men were formerly employed on a civilian 

 basis, but arrangements were subsequently made to 

 engage them under a special form of agreement by 

 which they would be subject to naval discipline.

 small extent under local conditions, were as follows :
