13. Any master or other officer of a ship or vessel, to whom a copy of the Harbour Regulations shall have been delivered, shall give, on demand, an acknowledgment thereof in writing, to the pilot or other officer delivering the said copy; and any pilot failing to demand, or any master of a ship or vessel refusing on demand to give such acknowledgment, shall forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding five pounds.
