I.—PILOTS AND PILOTAGE.

1. No person shall be deemed a Pilot unless
   he be duly licensed by his Excellency the
   Governor.
2. All persons so licensed shall be provided
   with a license according to the form following:

Pilot's License.

By virtue of the power vested in me, you
are hereby authorised and directed to act as
Pilot for the Port of Manukau, and you are
enjoined to use your best skill and knowledge
in all duties appertaining to that office, str. ctly
conforming to the Regulations of the Harbour
aforesaid, and obeying such Orders and In-
structions as you may from time to time
receive from me.

Given under my hand this
day of
, in the year of our
Lord, One thousand eight hundred
and at Government House
Auckland, New Zealand.

3. Every Pilot shall carry his License with
   him, and shall produce it to the Master of any
   Ship or Vessel on its being demanded, or
   forfeit a sum not exceeding 40 shillings.

4. The rates of Pilotage to or from the
   usual anchorage, from or to the vicinity of
   Paratutai within the Bar, are as per scale
   annexed: No Pilotage shall be charged
   on any Vessel under 100 tons register, trading
   coastwise, whose Master holds an exemption
   from Pilotage, and has flown the exemption
   flag hereafter mentioned, unless the assist-
   ance of a Pilot be required by the
   Master or Owner of the Vessel, and no
   Pilot shall be bound to take charge of any
   Vessel either outward or inward bound,
   beyond and to the Westward of Paratutai
   aforesaid, and on any subsequent change of
   berth for the purpose of Loading or otherwise,
   there shall be payable one-half the rate an-
   nexed.

Rates of Pilotage.

Vessels under 100 tons, £2 10s.: and for
every ton above 100 tons, the sum of 3d. per
ton shall be paid in addition to the sum before
specified.

5. The Master of any Vessel requiring a
   Pilot to conduct her to sea, must make an
   application at least 24 hours previously at the
   office of the Harbour Master,

6. Pilots are not bound to conduct any
   Vessel to sea as aforesaid, until payment of
   the pilotage has been satisfactorily secured.

7. Pilots on being appointed to outward
   bound Vessels before taking charge, are to

ascertain that their decks are clear, and that
they are sufficiently manned, and in a proper
state for working as regards masts, rigging,
sails, chains, and anchors.

8. Every Pilot detained on board a vessel
   longer than 24 hours, whether by stress of
   weather, quarantine, or otherwise, is to be
   paid ten shillings per day in addition to the
   regular pilotage; and if any Master of a
   Vessel shall have made a signal for a Pilot or
   caused a Pilot to be sent for to take his Vessel
   to sea, such additional payment shall com-
   mence at the expiration of 12 hours from the
   time of the arrival of the Pilot on board such
   vessel, and the Pilot shall not be bound to
   conduct such vessel to sea until such additional
   payment and pilotage shall have been satis-
   factorily secured.

9. No Pilot is to be taken to sea by the
   Master or Owner of any Vessel, except in
   case of absolute and unavoidable necessity,
   under a penalty of twenty pounds, and
   such expenses as may be incurred in getting
   the Pilot back to his station are to be paid
   by the Master or Owner offending against this
   regulation.

10. In the event of a Vessel outward bound
    under charge of a Pilot being detained by
    stress of weather, or any act of the Master or
    otherwise, after being safely anchored, the
    Pilot may leave such Vessel until an op-
    portunity offers to conduct her to sea; but
    should a vessel be off the Harbour at the time
    requiring a Pilot and only one Pilot be on
    the station, the inward bound Vessel is to
    have the preference of the Pilot's services
    until conducted into a place of safety.

11. The Master of any vessel employing
    other than a duly licensed Pilot, if such shall
    have offered his services, shall forfeit double
    the amount of Pilotage. Pilots refusing or
    neglecting to perform their duty shall forfeit
    a sum not exceeding £20.

12. The Master of any Vessel (except as
    hereinafter mentioned) arriving from beyond
    seas, and not being a coasting vessel, shall
    pay the full amount of pilotage hereinbefore
    specified, whether taking a Pilot or not.

13. All Vessels under 100 tons, having
    made six successive voyages to the Har-
    bour, may, upon the Master proving himself
    qualified, be furnished with a certificate
    of exemption from Pilotage; but shall in lieu
    thereof pay one full Pilotage inwards and
    outwards per annum in advance, and such
    certificate shall be renewed annually.

14. Every Master so qualified and Vessel so
    exempted, shall on approaching the Harbour
    within six miles, hoist a white flag at least six
    feet long and four feet wide at the main,
    without any flag at the fore, keeping the same
    flying at the mast head until inside of Para-
    tutai, showing their exemption from Pilotage,
    and any default thereof full Pilotage shall be
    paid.

15. Every Master of every Ship or Vessel
    shall be furnished with a copy of the Harbour
    Regulations on her entry into Port by the
    Pilot; and any Pilot failing to deliver such
