HARBOUR NOTIFICATION.
No. 3 of 1911.
NOTICE is hereby given that the following further measures and modifications, concern- ing precautions against the introduction of plague, have been sanctioned and are now pub. lished 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strictest measures are taken against its introduc- tion there, the declaration of infection with regard to that port is withdrawn; considering however, its close proximity to the Plague-infected Area, of which it is an outlet, the pre- cautions taken in the case of vessels from Dairen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 certificates 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 l'ort and are free from disease on embarkation, and amongst whose passengers no disease is found on arrival at the quarantine anchorage at Amoy, 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 discharge and shipment of cargo, fumigation, and other precautions against the landing of rats.
Tientsin and Chinrangtao.-Vessels coming from Tientsin (including Tong Kn) and Chinwangtao will be subject to the same procedure laid down for vessels from Dairen, with the provision 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.
