Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by

the above-recited power and authority, doth hereby
repeal the first by-law so made as aforesaid, and in
lieu thereof doth hereby make the following by-law,

operation from the date of publication thereof.

BY-LAW.

   shall be so laden as to show less of her side above
   water amidships, as measured from the upper side of
   the deck plank next the waterway, than three inches
   for every foot of her depth of hold; but paddle
   steamers, plying in rough water or at sea, shall in no
   case be laden so that their sponsons shall be less
   than one-fourth of the diameter of the paddles above
   the surface of the water.
