9. After a vessel has been unloaded and
properly ballasted, it will be at the option of
the Port Master, or Harbour Master, to remove
her out clear of the Shipping, to make room
for vessels requiring 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 Port Master or the Harbour Master may
remove such vessel at the expense and risk of
the owner thereof.
10. Any person obstructing or impeding the
navigation of any channel, river, inlet, or
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 £10; 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.
11. The owner, or part owner in, or 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 Port Master, or
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 ex-
ceeding £20; and any Justice, upon the com-
plaint of the Port Master, or 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 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
Port Master, to be accounted for as fees col-
lected by him.
12. 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 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 expenses of so doing, shall, for every
such offence, forfeit a penalty not exceeding
£20.
13. 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
desire 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, or from or
to any part of the barbour, whenever such
removal is in the opinion of the Harbour
Master desirable and proper for the general
accommodation 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 article, and a
sum at the rate of 1d. per ton register for each
vessel above 100 tons register, not exceeding
£5 in the whole.
14. In the performance of any such service
by the Harbour Master the Master of the
vessel and the crew thereof are required to give
and afford to such Harbour Master all possible
aid, and in effecting any such service or any
other service in the execution of his duty, the
Harbour Master is empowered to make fast
and attach any rope or other tackle to any
other vessel, and if there is no crew of the vessel
to be removed or the crew thereof refuse or fail to
aid and assist as aforesaid, or if the crew or
tackle, or quantity of ballast on board of such
vessel is not sufficient to enable the Harbour
Master to effect such removal, he is empowered
to hire and employ such other assistance and
tackle, and to purchase and put on board such
vessel such other quantity of ballast, as to him
seems requisite, at the cost or charge of the
Master or owner of such vessel, and such costs
and charges such Master or owner is required
to pay to the Harbour Master, to be accounted
for as aforesaid; and if any person without the
consent or authority of the Harbour Master
cuts or casts off any such rope or tackle so
made fast and attached to any other vessel as
aforesaid, or in any other manner infringes this
regulation, such person shall forfeit a penalty
not exceeding £20.
15. Any person, without due authority, re-
sisting, impeding, or obstructing the Port
Master, Harbour Master, Pilot, or other person
deputed by either of them, in the execution of
his duty, or using threatening or abusive lan-
guage to them, or any of them, shall forfeit
and pay a sum not exceeding £20. nor less
than £5.
