Pilot's License.

By virtue of the power vested in me, you

Pilot for the Port of Auckland, and you are
enjoined to use your best skill and knowledge
in all matters 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

  2. The rates of pilotage are:
    In the Harbour, 3s. per foot, and,
    In any outer Roadstead, 1s. per foot.
    But it is optional with Masters of vessels to
    take a Pilot.

    Pilot to conduct her to sea, must make an
    application at least 24 hours previously at the

    vessel to sea until the pilotage has been paid,
    or satisfactorily secured.

    they are sufficiently manned, and in a proper
    state for working, as regards masts, rigging,
    sails, and anchors.

    longer than 48 hours, whether by stress of
    weather, quarantine, or otherwise, is to be
    paid 8 shillings per day, in addition to the
    regular pilotage.

  7. Any Master who shall make a signal

    for every day such Pilot may be detained on
    board such vessel, in addition to the regular
    pilotage; and the Pilot shall not be com-
    pellable to conduct such vessel to sea until
    such additional payment and pilotage shall
