THE BLUE ENSlGN— Advice has been received from the British Government that, fop the year 1929, the number of Reservists who must form part of the crew to render a merchant ship eligible to fly the blue ensign is seven, states the Sydney “Morning Herald.” This number is in addition to the master of the vessel. In 1926 the British Admiralty paid a compliment to Australia by amending its regulations to permit the blue ensign to be flown on a British merchant ship of which a portion of the officers and crew were members of the Royal Australian Naval Reserve (seagoing), or, in case of officers, if they were on the retired or emergency list of the Royal Australian Navy. The number fixed for 1926 and 1927 was eight, and was reduced to last year.
