    in New Zealand; or

    land; or
    (c.) That goes to sea from any port or places in New Zealand and
    returns to New Zealand without going more than fifty miles
    from the coast thereof:
    Provided that a vessel shall not be deemed to be a home-trade ship
    within the meaning of these regulations by reason merely of the fact
    that in the course of or as preliminary to a voyage to or from any place
    out of New Zealand she is employed in going between two places in New
    Zealand; and provided also that for the purposes of this definition the
    Cook Islands shall be deemed to be part of New Zealand.

    license issued by the Minister of Marine, it shall not be lawful for an
    alien enemy to be engaged or to continue to be engaged as master, or
    as a mate or engineer, on any home-trade ship as hereinbefore defined, or
    to be engaged or to continue to be engaged as a Harbourmaster or in any
    other official position in the employment of a Harbour Board.
    (2.) Every such license shall be revocable at the will of the Minister of
    Marine.
