No action or other proceeding shall under any circumstances be maintainable by the person referred to in such notification against any member or official publishing or circulating the same, and this rule shall operate as leave and authority to any member or official to publish or circulate such notification and be pleadable accordingly.

ALTERATION OF RULES.

Port Phillip Heads.—Submarine Blasting Operations.

Notice is hereby given that blasting and sweeping operations have been renewed to the westward of the line of leading-lights.

The following signals will be shown from the masthead of the steamer engaged on the work:—

Letter “B” when on blasting and code-signal “X H C” when on sweeping duty.

Mariners and boatmen are cautioned not to approach the boats engaged on blasting-work nearer than a quarter of a mile, and warning will be given by prolonged whistle-blasts from the attendant steamer when a charge is about to be exploded. Mariners are specially requested to keep clear of the steamer when sweeping, as the apparatus will render the vessel’s movements slow and uncertain.
