    removing 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, if such
    removal is, in the opinion of the Har-
    bour 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

    in the execution of his duty, the Harbour Mas-
    ter 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
    for such other assistance and tackle, and to purchase
    and put on board such vessel such other quan-
    tity of ballast as to him seems requisite, at the
    cost or charges of the master or owner of such
    vessel, and such cost and charges such master
    or owner is required to pay to the Harbour
