who will, on approval, grant a certificate as
to her dimensions and the quantity of
cargo, or the number of passengers she may
be permitted to carry, and such certificate
must be produced on application for a
licence.

80. Notwithstanding any such license no
    vessel or boat can lighter cargo unless the
    Customs regulations in that behalf have
    been duly complied with.

81. When so ordered for any port by the
    Superintendent all cargo boats shall be
    constructed with good and sufficient bulkheads, so that when the cargo hatches are
    ordered to be battened down and locked by
    the officer of Customs, or other officer authorized to order the same, all communication
    from the forecastle, cabin or deck to the
    hold shall be completely stopped; and in
    any such port no master or owner of any
    cargo boat shall receive a licence until he
    shall have fitted such bulkheads to the satisfaction of the Harbour Master, or other inspector
    duly authorized by the Superintendent to
    inspect such fittings; and if the bulkheads
    become out of repair, and the master or
    owner of such cargo boat fail to make such
    repairs as shall be satisfactory to the Harbour
    Master or other inspector as aforesaid, the
    licence of the vessel may be cancelled or suspended by the Superintendent at his discretion,
    and the master or owner will become liable to
    a penalty imposed by clause 78 of these regulations
    should he carry cargo in any such boat
    whilst her licence is thus cancelled or suspended.

82. The Harbour Master or any person
    authorized by him may at any time inspect
    any cargo or other boat, and if found to be
    not fully equipped with proper gear, and
    not in a seaworthy condition, or if found to
    be overloaded, the licence of said boat may
    be cancelled.

83. Each boat which is licensed to carry
    passengers shall carry twenty pounds of
    luggage (if required) with every passenger
    without extra charge, and the sum to be paid
    for all luggage beyond the weight above stated,
    shall be at the rate of one passenger fare
    for every one hundred and fifty pounds
    weight, but for every one hundred and
    fifty pounds weight of luggage so carried
    one passenger must be deducted from the
    number which such boat is licensed to carry.

84. The fares which licensed watermen
    will be allowed to charge will be fixed by the
    Superintendent of each Province for the
    several ports therein.

85. In those ports where night watermen
    are required all regulations concerning
    them will be made by the Superintendent
    as aforesaid.

86. In those ports in which "watermen's
    houses" are provided they shall be set
    apart solely for the use of licensed watermen, and no other person will be permitted
    to occupy them. Should any person persist in doing so the watermen on duty
    shall report the same to the police, who
    will cause such intruders to be removed,

and any person persisting in returning to
such "watermen's houses," after being
warned by the police shall be liable to a
penalty not exceeding forty shillings.

VII.—GUNPOWDER.

87. All vessels arriving at any port of
    harbour of the Colony having gunpowder
    on board exceeding fifty pounds weight
    shall hoist a red flag at the main and remain at the regular "gunpowder anchorage"
    until such gunpowder be taken out of
    the vessel.

88. No gunpowder shall be landed or
    shipped at any port except at such places
    as may be from time to time appointed,
    and then only under the supervision of the
    Harbour Master or other duly authorized
    officer of the port.

89. No gunpowder shall be received on
    board of any vessel in excess of any quantity necessary to make up her store to fifty
    pounds, except at the usual gunpowder
    anchorage.

90. No gunpowder is to be either received
    or issued by the keeper of the magazine,
    except between the hours of seven in the
    morning and five in the afternoon.

91. The master of every vessel from
    which gunpowder has been landed shall
    cause the same to be conveyed to the magazine immediately after its being landed.

92. All gunpowder so landed must be
    packed in barrels, containing not more than
    one hundredweight, closely joined and
    hooped without any iron about the packages,
    and so secured that no portion of the gunpowder be in danger of being scattered in
    carriage.

93. All boats used for the conveyance of
    gunpowder to or from vessels from or to
    the shore or other vessels are to be provided
    with tarpaulins, and to be properly housed
    over, and to have a red flag flying when
    powder is on board.

94. No fire or light, is to be burning on
    board of any vessel or boat during the time
    gunpowder is being discharged from or
    taken on board of such vessel or boat.

95. Any person offending against any
    provision of any of the foregoing regulations
    respecting vessels or boats having gunpowder on board and the landing and stowage of the same shall be liable to a penalty
    not exceeding fifty pounds for every such
    offence.

VIII.—REGULATIONS FOR PREVENTING COLLISIONS AND ACCIDENTS IN PORTS.

96. Every steam vessel when navigating
    any narrow channel, shall, whenever it is
    safe and practicable, keep to that side of the
    fairway or mid-channel which lies on the
    starboard side of such steam ship.

97. Steamers must not attempt to cross
    any bar having a confined channel should
    another vessel or a steamer having a vessel
    in tow be passing in or out at the time.

98. When steamers, having vessels in
    tow, are steering opposite courses in a con-
