And whereas it is desirable to amend the said regulations
in the manner hereinafter described :
Now, therefore, I, Francis Marion Bates Fisher, the Minis-
ter of Marine, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority conferred upon me by section 223 of the Shipping
and Seamen Act, 1908, and of all other powers enabling me
in that behalf, do hereby revoke clause 30 of the herein-
before-recited regulations, and do hereby make the following
regulations.

REGULATIONS.

30. In the case of ships the whole of whose deck cargo
    does not consist of timber, the alleyways are always to be
    kept clear of cargo and live-stock, and there shall be a clear
    passage of not less than 3 ft. wide either on one side or the
    other, or part on one side and part on the other.

30A. On ships the whole of whose deck cargo is timber, it
may be stowed from rail to rail, in which case it shall be
properly secured to the satisfaction of the Superintendent,
and such lifelines for the protection of life as he may require
shall be properly fitted and secured. The heaviest timber
shall be stowed nearest the deck and graduating with the
lightest timbers at the surface, so that the timber when
stowed shall present a flat and even surface fore and aft and
athwart ships.

As witness my hand, this 13th day of May, 1913.
