HARBOUR NOTIFICATION.
No. 6 of 1911.
REFERRING to Harbour Notifications Nos. 1, 2. 3, 4 and 5 of 1911, concerning precau- tions against the introduction of Plague, Notice is hereby given that the following further measures and modifications have been sanctioned by the Superintendent of Customs and the Treaty Power Consuls, and are now published for general information :—
1. Dairen.-Official reports having been received from Dairen, showing that that port is at present free from Plague, and that the strictest measures are taken against its introduction there, the declaration of infection as regards that port is with- drawn; considering however, its close proximity to the Plague-infected Area, of which it is an outlet, the precautions taken in the case of vessels from Dairen cannot be completely relaxed, but the following modified procedure is adopted :-
*
Vessels from Dairen bringing no passengers, or for whose passengers certi- ficates from the Dairen Authorities are presented, showing that they have been detained for at least five days under supervision of the Sanitary Officers of that Port and are free from disease on embarkation, and amongst whose passengers no disease is found on arrival at the quarantine station at Woosung, shall be admitted to pratique after inspection by the Port Health Officer, without further detention in quarantine. Such vessels shall still however, be subject to the regulations imposed on vessels from Plague-infected Ports with regard to dis- charge and shipment of cargo, fumigation, and other precautions against the landing of rats.
2. Tientsin and Chinwangtao.
Vessels coming from Tientsin (including Tong Ku) and Chinwangtao, will be subject to the same proc dure laid down for vessels froin Dairen, with the pro- vision that certificates concerning the detention under supervision of passengers must be endorsed as satisfactory by the Commissioner of Customs at those places and that the Master of each vessel shall give a certificate, concerning his Officers and Crew, that none of them has, while at these ports, gone into a Plague- infected Section. Vessels not complying with these regulations will be subjected to detention in quarantine as if from a Plague-infected Port.

Commissioner of Customs.
