    powder within the limits specified in the
    foregoing regulation, No. 1.

23. The Master of any vessel arriving with
    gunpowder on board, exceeding the said
    quantity necessary as ship's stores, shall hoist
    the signal thereof at the main, and shall land
    such powder at the Powder Magazine before
    anchoring at the usual anchorage ground,
    and the Master or person in charge of any
    vessel so anchoring before such powder shall
    have been so landed, shall forfeit and pay a
    sum not exceeding £20.

24. No Gunpowder will be either received or
    issued by the keeper of the Magazine except
    between the hours of 7 in the morning and

    in barrels containing not more than one hundred
    weight each, closely joined and hooped,
