  4. After a Vessel has been unloaded
    and properly ballasted, it will be at
    the option of the Harbour Master to

    to make room for Vessels requiring
    berths to unload; and if there shall

    been unloaded, sufficient men or ballast,
    or requisite tackle, to enable her to be
    removed, the Harbour Master or Pilot
    may remove such Vessel at the expense
    and risk of the owner thereof.

    the way, shall be liable to a penalty
    not exceeding Ten Pounds; and in
    case any person causing such obstruc-

    fast to any Buoy, Beacon, or Sea
    Mark, and any Master or Owner of a
    Vessel being navigated without having
    a Pilot on board, or the Owner of any
    Boat by which such Buoy, Beacon,
    or Sea Mark is accidentally removed,
    injured, or destroyed, who does not
    forthwith make good such damage, or
    pay to the Harbour Master a sum suf-
    ficient to cover the expenses of so
    doing, shall, for every such offence,
    forfeit a penalty not exceeding Twen-
    ty Pounds.

  7. Whenever a Vessel, not em-
    ployed in coasting only, arrives within
    the Harbour, the Harbour Master shall
    appoint the place where she is to cast
    anchor, or be moored, and as often
    as the Master of any Vessel is desirous
    of removing her from one place to an-
    other, he shall notify such his desire
    to the Harbour Master, who shall
    thereupon, unless he sees sufficient
    reason to the contrary, direct the re-
    moval accordingly; and the Harbour
    Master may remove any Vessel, timber,
    or other article, from any berth along-
    side any Wharf or elsewhere, or from
    or to any part of the Harbour, when-

    the Harbour Master, desirable and
    proper for the general accommodation
    of the shipping.

    vice or any other service in the execu-
    tion of his duty, the Harbour Master
    is empowered to make fast and attach
    any rope or other tackle to any other
    Vessel; and if there is no crew of the
    Vessel to be removed, or the crew
    thereof refuse or fail to aid and assist
    as aforesaid, or if the crew, or tackle,
    or quantity of ballast on board of such
    vessel is not sufficient to enable the
    Harbour Master to effect such removal,
    he is empowered to hire and employ
    such other assistance and tackle, and
    to purchase and put on board such Ves-
    sel such other quantity of ballast as to
    him seems requisite, at the cost or
    charge of the Master or Owner of such
    vessel, and such cost or charges such
    Master or Owner is required to pay to
    the Harbour Master; and if any per-
    son, without the consent or authority
    of the Harbour Master, cuts or casts
    off any such rope or tackle so made fast
    and attached to any other Vessel as
