1270 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [Part Vv progress has been made in putting the Colonies in a condition of defence. Until 1910 Canada possessed nothing more than revenue vessels for her fishery service! Newfoundland 2as only revenue cutters. South Africa has no war vessels of its own, nor has New Zealand. In Australia, however, various circumstances led to greater efforts being made for naval protection. The way in this matter was led by the Colony of Victoria.? The head-quarters of the Imperial naval forces on the Australian station was New South Wales, and Victoria felt open to attack as there was practically no permanent stationing of Royal Navy vessels in Victorian waters. The Heads were not fortified, and the large expanse of Port Philip and Hobson’s Bay open to foreign crusiers called for a naval service for its defence. In the sixties, therefore, the beginnings of a naval service were created, and in 1885 the force attained its greatest efficiency, there being then in the possession of the navy a wooden frigate, one ironclad, two gunboats, and three torpedo-boats, to which in 1892 a first-class torpedo-boat was added ; but the force was considerably reduced in 1893, and at the time of federation the expenditure was reduced to £19,000 a year. In New South Wales there was never a substantial naval force; a naval brigade was raised to serve as a reinforcement for the navy in case of need, and a light corvette, the Wolverine, was made over to the New South Wales Government. The force, however, was purely a quasi-civil body, and, though in 1885 two torpedo-boats were built, no further addition was made to the strength. In Queensland naval defence dated from 1884, two gunboats oeing commissioned for the defence of bays and rivers against attacks from merchant cruisers of the enemy. The Fayundah, one of these boats, was maintained in full com- mission, and a naval brigade was organized as in the case of ! Canada has exercised the sovereign right of ‘hot pursuit’; see The Ship North v. The King, 37 S. C. R. 385. Cf. New Brunswick Act, 1866, c. 2. * For the history of the Australian Naval Forces see the Official Year Book, i, 1084, 1085 ; iii. 1052 seq. In 1869 there was a proposition on foot for a naval force half paid for by the Colonies, to be stationed in Australasian waters ; see Parl. Pap., C. 83, pp. 522 seq.
