the full amount of pilotage, whether taking a
pilot or not. -
All vessels trading to or from the neigh-
bouring colonies shall be exempted from taking

taken, however, full pilotage is to be paid. -
All vessels under 100 tons trading from
or to the neighbouring colonies shall, upon the
Master proving himself qualified, be furnished
with a Certificate of Exemption from pilotage,
but shall in lieu thereof, pay one full pilotage

ing a Pilot shall, on approaching the harbour
within two leagues, hoist a white flag at the
main, or forfeit a sum not exceeding full pilot-

The Master of every vessel shall anchor
or moor where the Harbour Master or Pilot
may direct, and he shall not unmoor or quit
the anchorage until notice be given in writing
at the Harbour Master's office, and any Master
offending against this regulation shall forfeit
a sum not exceeding five pounds. -
All vessels moored or at anchor are to
have both cables clear and in readiness to slack
away when required. And in default thereof
the Master shall forfeit and pay a sum not ex-
ceeding ten pounds. -
All vessels are when it is so ordered by
the Harbor Master or Pilot to have buoys and
and buoy ropes to their anchors, to shew their
position, and to hoist a conspicuous light at
their peak end from dark to daylight, and in
default thereof the Master shall forfeit and pay
a sum not exceeding ten pounds. -
And any anchor, kedge or cable, slipped
or cut from, if not weighed within twenty-four
hours, may be weighed by order of the Harbor
Master or Pilot, at the risk of and the expense
of the owner. And when no buoy rope has been
attached, the anchor, kedge, or cable shall be
forfeited. -
After a vessel has been unloaded and
properly ballasted, it will be at the option of
the Harbor 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 any vessel which has been unloaded,
sufficient men or ballast or requisite tackle to
to enable her to be removed, the Harbor Mas-
ter or Pilot may remove such vessel at the ex-
pense and risk of the owner thereof. -
Any person obstructing or impeding the
navigation of any channel, river, inlet or creek,
or obstructing any public landing place by plac-
ing a vessel, cable, boat, or warp, or other ar-
ticle in the way, shall be liable to a penalty not
exceeding ten 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 Harbor Master or Pilot,.
the Harbor Master or Pilot may cast off or
cut such obstruction. -
The owner or part owner in, or the com-
mander of, any vessel or boat which has been
sunk, stranded, or run on shore, or the owner
of any baulk of timber, or other bulky article
which is in the water who does not clear the
Harbor of such vessels or boats, or remove such
baulk of timber or other bulky article upon
being required so to do, by notice in writing un-
der the hand of the Harbor Master, or any Jus-
tice of the Peace, within such reasonable time
as may be mentioned for the purpose in such
notice shall, for every such offence, forfeit a pe-
nalty not exceeding ten pounds. -
And any Justice upon the complaint of
the Harbour Master, or any other person may,
issue his warrant for the clearing of the Harbour
or removing of such baulk of timber, or other
bulky article in such manner as such Justice
shall direct, and for causing such vessel or boat,
baulk of timber, or other bulky article to be
sold, and out of the money arising from such
sale, may pay the charges of such clearing or
removal as the case may be, paying the surplus
to the Harbour Master to be accounted for as
fees collected by him. -
Any person who makes any vessel, boat,
timber, or other article fast to any buoy, bea-
con, 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
any such buoy, beacon, or sea mark, is acci-
dentally removed, injured, or destroyed, who
does not forthwith make good such damage or
pay to the Harbour Master, a sum sufficient to
cover the expense of so doing, shall for every
such offence, forfeit a penalty not exceeding
twenty pounds. -
Whenever a vessel not employed 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 re-
moving her from one place of anchorage to
another, he shall notify in writing such his de-
sire to the Harbour Master, who shall there-
upon, unless he sees sufficient reason to the
contrary, direct the removal accordingly; and
the Harbour Master may remove any vessel,
timber, or any other article from any berth
alongside any Wharf or elsewhere, if such re-
moval is, in the opinion of the Harbour Master,
desirable and proper for the general accommo-
dation of the shipping; and for any such service
so to be performed by such Harbour Master
there shall be paid by the Master, or Owner
of such vessel to such Harbour Master, the
sum of 7s. 6d. for each vessel under 100
tons register, and for each other articles;
and a sum at the rate of 1d. per ton register for
each vessel above 100 tons register, to be ac-
counted for as aforesaid.
