   ter or Pilot, at the risk and expense of the
   owner; and when no buoy-rope has been at-
   tached, the anchor, kedge, or cable shall be
   forfeited.

5. After a vessel has been unloaded and
   properly ballasted, it will be at the option of
   the Harbour Master to remove her out clear of
   the shipping, to make room for vessels requir-
   ing berths to unload, and if there shall not be
   on board such vessel 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.

   necessary to remove, must be removed on the
   request in writing of the Harbour Master or
   Pilot made to the Master or other person on
   board in charge; and any person offending
   against this regulation shall forfeit and pay a
   sum not exceeding ten pounds; and if there be

   Master or Pilot, at the risk and expense of the
   owner.

   pounds; and in case any person causing such
   obstruction or impediment will not remove or
   cause to be removed the same, when ordered
   by the Harbour Master or Pilot, the Harbour
   Master or Pilot may cast off or cut such ob-
   struction.

   chorage from or to any part of the Harbour,
   when such removal shall, in his opinion, be
   requisite for the accommodation of the ship-
   ping.

10. Any person, without due authority, re-
    sisting, impeding, or obstructing the Harbour
    Master, Pilot, or other person deputed by
