Harbour of Manukau.

F. G. STEWARD,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

I—PILOTS AND PILOTAGE.

1. No person shall be deemed a Pilot unless
   he be duly licensed by his Excellency the
   Governor.

2. All persons so licensed shall be provided
   with a license according to the form following:

Pilot's License.

By virtue of the power vested in me, you are
hereby authorised and directed to act as Pilot
for the Port of Manukau, and you are
enjoined to use your best skill and knowledge
in all duties appertaining to that office, strictly
conforming to the Regulations of the Harbour
aforesaid, and obeying such Orders and
Instructions as you may from time to time
receive from me.

Given under my hand this day of , in the
year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and at Government House, Auck-
land, New Zealand.

3. Every Pilot shall carry his License with
   him, and shall produce it to the Master of any
   Ship or Vessel on its being demanded, or forfeit
   a sum not exceeding 40 shillings.

4. The rates of Pilotage to or from the
   usual anchorage in the Port of Manukau, from
   of to the vicinity of Paratutar within the Bar,
   are 4 shillings per foot: Provided that no
   Vessel shall be liable to less than £2 for
   pilotage. But no pilotage is to be chargeable
   on any vessel engaged in the Coasting Trade
   unless the assistance of a Pilot be required by
   the Master of the Vessel, and no Pilot shall be
   bound to take charge of any Vessel either
   outward or inward bound beyond and to the
   westward of Paratutal aforesaid: and on any
   subsequent change of berth for the purpose of
   loading or otherwise, there shall be payable
   one half of the above rate.

5. The Master of any Vessel requiring a
   Pilot to conduct her to sea must make an
   application at least 24 hours previously at the
   office of the Harbour Master.

6. Pilots are not bound to conduct any
   Vessel to sea as aforesaid until payment of the
   pilotage has been satisfactorily secured:

7. Pilots on being appointed to outward
   bound Vessels before taking charge are to
   ascertain that their decks are clear, and that
   they are sufficiently manned, and in a proper
   state for working as regards masts, rigging,
   sails, chains, and anchors.

8. Every Pilot detained on board a vessel
   longer than 48 hours, whether by stress of
   weather, quarantine, or otherwise, is to be paid
   eight shillings per day in addition to the
   regular pilotages, and if any Master of a Vessel
   the shall have made a signal for a Pilot or caused
   a Pilot to be sent for to take his Vessel to sea,
   such additional payment shall commence at the
   expiration of 12 hours from the time of the
   arrival of the Pilot on board such vessel, and
   the Pilot shall not be bound to conduct such
   vessel to sea until such additional payment and
   pilotage shall have been satisfactorily secured.

9. No Pilot shall be taken to sea by the
   Master of any Vessel except in cases of
   absolute and unavoidable necessity, under a
   Penalty of £20, to be paid by any Master
   offending against this Regulation.

10. In the event of a Vessel outward bound
    under charge of a Pilot being detained by
    stress of weather, or any act of the Master or
    otherwise, after being safely anchored, the
    Pilot may leave such Vessel until an
    opportunity offers to conduct her to sea; but
    should a vessel be off the Harbour at the time
    requiring a Pilot and only one Pilot be on the
    station, the inward bound Vessel is to have the
    preference of the Pilot's services until conducted
    into a place of safety.

11. Pilots refusing or neglecting to perform
    their duty, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding
    Twenty pounds.

12. The Master of any Vessel (except as
    hereinafter mentioned) arriving from beyond
    seas, and not being a coasting vessel, shall pay
    the full amount of pilotage hereinbefore
    specified, whether taking a Pilot or not.

13. All Vessels trading to or from the
    Australasian Colonies shall be exempted from
    taking a Pilot upon paying one half the usual
    rate of pilotage, but if a Pilot is taken full
    pilotage to be paid.

14. All vessels under 50 tons trading from
    or to the neighbouring Colonies having made
    six successive voyages to the Harbour, may,
    upon the master proving himself qualified, be
    furnished with a Certificate of Exemption from
    pilotage, but shall in lieu thereof pay one full
    pilotage inwards and outwards per annum.

15. Every Master so qualified and Vessel
    so exempted shall, on approaching the Harbour
    within two leagues, hoist a white flag, at least
    six feet long and four broad, at the main,
    without any flag at the fore shewing their
    exemption from pilotage—and in default
    thereof full pilotage shall be paid.

16. Every Master of every Ship or Vessel
    shall be furnished with a copy of the Harbour
    Regulations on her Entry into Port by the
    Pilot; and any Pilot failing to deliver such
    copy upon leaving the Vessel shall forfeit and
    pay a Fine not exceeding (£5) Five pounds.

17. It shall not be necessary in any case to
    issue a second copy of the Regulations to the
    Master or officer in charge of the same
    Vessel, unless on the demand of such Master or
    officer, and in such case only on the payment
    of a fee of two shilling and sixpence, to be
    accounted for by the Harbour Master.

18. 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 acknowledgement thereof.
