stock on deck, when applied for, subject to the rules and
regulations herein stated. Such licenses shall be special, and
will be classed A and B.

2. Foreign-going steamships must have sufficient coal in
   the bunkers to take them past a coaling port; and such
   steamships can take a specified quantity of coal on deck for
   their consumption to enable them to proceed further on
   their voyage, provided the quantity of coal on deck is com-
   patile with the stability and safety of the said steamship.

Special Licenses, Class A.

3. Special licenses of this class will be granted to foreign-
   going steamships carrying cargo with live-stock on deck,
   also coal on deck for ship's use, if approved of by the Col-
   lector of Customs.

4 For the purpose of ascertaining the number or quantity
of live-stock (horses, bullocks, cows, sheep) a foreign-going
steamship with these licenses will be allowed to carry on
deck, it will be necessary to assume or reckon that each
horse, bullock, or cow weighs one ton, and for the purpose
of calculation three sheep shall be considered equal to one
horse, bullock, or cow.

5. Foreign-going steamships with these licenses will be
   allowed to carry any number not exceeding six horses, bul-
   locks, or cows to every hundred tons, net register, of the
   ship, and three sheep shall be considered equal to one horse,
   bullock, or cow. Proportionate allowance will be made for
   small live-stock.

6. Having converted the live-stock into weight, combine
   their weight with the weight of the quantity of coal on deck,
   and these two quantities combined are not to exceed 6 per
   cent. of the net register tonnage of the said ship.

7. Foreign-going steamships with these licenses, having
   live-stock on board as deck cargo, will only be allowed to
   carry such quantity of coal on deck for ship's use as, with
   the weight of the live-stock on deck, does not exceed 6 per
   cent. of the net register tonnage of the ship. The coal
   carried on deck is to be stowed in bags.

Special Licenses, Class B, for carrying Live-stock on Deck; also
Coal on Deck for Ship's Use.

8. Foreign-going steamships will require licenses of this
   class for carrying a greater quantity of live-stock as deck
   cargo and coal on deck for ship's use than allowed in
   the special license, Class A, which will necessitate the said
   steamship being surveyed or inspected by a surveyor ap-
   proved of by the Collector of Customs; and a certificate as
   to the ship's stability and seaworthiness must be obtained
   from such surveyor, the owner paying the surveyor's fee.

9. The surveyor's certificate must distinctly state the
   extra quantity of live-stock and coal for which the certificate
   is issued, and is to be indorsed by the master, owner, or
   agent; and on no account will a license of this class be
   granted for additional quantity of live-stock and coal on
   deck of a foreign-going steamship where the total amount on
   deck exceeds 8 per cent. of the net register tonnage of the
   said steamship.

Division B, Class IV.—Foreign-going Sailing-ships with or
without Passengers.

Special licenses of Class A and Class B will be issued for
these ships, subject to the same rules and on the same condi-
tions as licenses of these classes are granted for intercolonial
and home-trade sailing-ships.
