for which a Waterman's Boat License shall be desired
and its appurtenances, and he shall give to the owner
thereof a certificate in writing, in which shall be
stated the name of the boat, the length, breadth,
depth, cubic capacity, the name of the owner, and the
number of persons which such boat shall be licensed
to carry in ordinary weather, and also as hereinafter
provided when the black ball shall be hoisted at the
masthead and half-mast high.

6. To assist the Harbour Master to ascertain the
   number of persons which any boat may safely carry,
   he shall, in addition to measuring the cubic contents,
   be authorized to require the person applying for a
   license in his presence to lade it to its bearings, and
   to ascertain the absolute weight of such lading.

7. Upon presentation of the certificates hereinbefore
   mentioned and upon the payment of one pound to
   the Provincial Treasurer he shall issue to the person
   named therein, and for the boat named in the boat
   certificate, a license in the form hereto annexed.

8. But no boat shall be licensed under these
   Regulations unless it shall, by admeasurement inside,
   be at least four feet six inches in the beam and
   twenty inches deep, nor unless it shall contain eighty
   cubic feet of space, nor unless also it shall be in
   sound condition, properly found, and, in the opinion
   of the Harbour Master, suitably constructed for the
   safe conveyance of passengers.

9. No boat shall be licensed under these Regu-
   lations which shall not be owned by a licensed water-
   man, and the license of any licensed boat which shall
   cease to be owned by the licensed waterman to whom
   the license shall have been issued shall thereby
   become null and void.

10. Every Waterman's Boat License which shall be
    issued under these Regulations, shall, save during the
    time in which the same may be suspended, or unless
    it shall be sooner cancelled in manner hereinafter
    provided, remain in force for one year from the date
    hereof and no longer.

11. Every licensed waterman shall, in a conspicuous
    place in the sternsheets or on the back-board of every
    boat with which he shall ply for hire, have legibly
    painted in letters not less than two inches long the
    name of the boat, the number of persons (including
    the crew) that the boat shall be licensed to carry in
    ordinary weather, and the name of the owner, and
    in default thereof, shall be liable to a penalty not
    exceeding five pounds.

12. Every licensed waterman who shall carry in
    any boat more passengers or passengers and luggage
    than by the license for such boat and these Regu-
    lations shall be authorized, shall be liable to a penalty
    of not less than five pounds and not exceeding twenty
    pounds.

13. It shall be lawful to lade any licensed water-
    man's boat partly with passengers or partly with
    cargo or luggage; and for the purposes of these
    Regulations every one hundred and fifty pounds
    weight of cargo or luggage, over and above the
    *twelve hereinafter allowed to each passenger, shall
    be deemed to be equivalent to one passenger.

14. If any licensed waterman shall be convicted of
    larceny, or of using, while carrying passengers,
    threatening, abusive, obscene or profane language,
    or of being drunk whilst carrying passengers, the
    Superintendent may, if he shall see fit, by notice in
    the Provincial Government Gazette declare the license
    or licenses held by such licensed waterman to be
    forfeited, and every such licence shall thereupon
    become null and void.

15. Every licensed waterman who, unless his desti-
    nation shall render it necessary, shall take a boat
    carrying passengers into the tide rip when it shall
    be breaking and dangerous, shall be liable to a penalty
    not exceeding twenty pounds.

16. If any licensed waterman shall stow, or suffer
    to be stowed in any boat of which he shall have
    charge, and in which there shall be any passenger,
    cargo or luggage, in such a manner as to interfere
    with the rowing, or to endanger the life of such
    passenger, he shall be liable to a penalty of not less
    than five pounds and not exceeding twenty pounds.

17. Every licensed waterman who shall not, when
    required by the Harbour Master, suffer his licensed
    boat or boats, and the appurtenances thereof, to be
    inspected, and who shall not, for that purpose, have
    it or them ready at the time or place which shall be
    appointed by the Harbour Master, and render such
    assistance as may be then and there required from
    him, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five
    pounds.

18. If the Harbour Master, after inspecting any
    licensed waterman's boat and its appurtenances,
    shall be of opinion that it is unsound, not properly
    found, or otherwise unseaworthy, he is hereby autho-
    rized to suspend and demand the custody of the
    license of such boat until he shall be satisfied that it
    shall have been properly repaired or otherwise
    rendered seaworthy; and the owner of such boat,
    who shall fail to deliver to the Harbour Master such
    license when so demanded, shall be liable to a penalty
    not exceeding five pounds for every day during which
    he shall fail to deliver up the same.

19. Every licensed waterman in charge of a
    licensed waterman's boat, shall, when required by the
    Harbour Master or any passenger by such boat,
    produce his own and boat's license for inspection,
    and, in default, shall be liable to a penalty not
    exceeding two pounds.

20. Any licensed waterman who shall lend his
    license to any other person shall be liable to a
    penalty of five pounds.

21. But any licensed waterman who by sickness
    shall be prevented from plying, shall, on depositing
    with the Harbour Master a certificate from a duly
    qualified medical practitioner to that effect, together
    with his license, be permitted to nominate a substi-
    tute in his stead, and if such substitute shall prove
    to the satisfaction of the Harbour Master that he
    thoroughly understands the management of a boat,
    the Harbour Master shall issue to him a certificate
    which shall authorize him to ply for hire in the
    conveyance of passengers for a period not exceeding
    one month, and such certificate may from time to
    time be renewed during the illness of the licensed
    waterman whose license shall be so deposited with
    the Harbour Master.

22. During the currency of every such certificate,
    and for the purposes of these Regulations, it shall be
    deemed to be a waterman's license; and every
    person to whom such a certificate shall be issued,
    shall be deemed to be a licensed waterman, subject
    to these regulations.

23. For the purpose of these bye-laws, the harbour
    shall be divided into "the Ordinary Anchorage,"
    "the North Channel Anchorage," "the Outer
    Anchorage," "the Bay," and "Short Arm."
    (a.) "The Ordinary Anchorage" shall be
    bounded by a straight line produced south-
    wards from the black buoy on the point of
    the southern sandspit to the shore, and
    northwards to the middle sandspit, thence by
    a straight line to the red perch buoy, thence
    in a straight line to the shore at Burial Point.
    (6.) "The North Channel Anchorage" shall be
    all that part of the harbour, exclusively of
    the ordinary anchorage, which is bounded
    by a straight line drawn from the shore at
    Barrack Point to the upper red buoy in the
    North Channel, thence by a straight line to
    Rocky Point, thence by the shore to Davies
