   the Harbour Master's office, and any Master
   offending against this regulation shall forfeit
   a sum not exceeding five pounds.

2. 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 mas-
   ter shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding
   ten pounds.

3. All vessels are, when it is so ordered by the
   Harbour master or Pilot, to have buoys and
   buoy-ropes to their anchors to show their posi-
   tion, 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.

4. Any anchor, kedge, or cable, slipped or cut
   from, if not weighed within 24 hours, may be
   weighed by order of the Harbour Master, or
   Pilot, at the risk and expense of the owner;
   and when no buoy-rope has been attached,
   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 re-
   quiring 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 enable her to be removed, the Har-
   bour Master or Pilot may remove such vessel
   at the expense and risk of the owner thereof.

   creek, or obstructing any public landing place,
   by placing a vessel, cable, boat, warp, or
   other article 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
   Harbour Master, or Pilot, the Harbour Master,
   or Pilot, may cast off or cut such obstruction.

   the commander 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 harbour of such vessel
   or boat, or remove such baulk of timber, or
   other bulky article upon being required so to
   do by notice in writing under the hand of the
   Harbour Master, or any Justice of the Peace,
   within such reasonable time as may be men-
   tioned for that purpose in such notice, shall,
   for every such offence, forfeit a penalty not
   exceeding twenty 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 the removing
   of such baulk of timber, or other bulky article,
   in such manner as such Justice shall di-
   rect, 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 sur-
   plus to the Harbour Master, to be accounted
   for as fees collected by him.

8. Any person who makes any vessel, boat,
   timber, or other article 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 any such buoy, beacon, or sea mark is
   accidentally removed, injured, or destroyed,

   damage, or pay to the Harbour Master a sum
   sufficient to cover the expenses of so doing,
   shall, for every such offence, forfeit a penalty
   not exceeding twenty pounds.

9. Whenever a vessel not employed in coast-
   ing 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 of an-
   chorage to another, he shall notify in
   writing such his desire to the Harbour
   Master, who shall thereupon, unless he sees
   sufficient reason to the contrary, direct the
