No. 282. In continuation of previous notifications, the following additional regu- lations governing the entrance of vessels into Manila Bay and their departure therefrom are published for general information.
A vessel desiring to enter Manila Bay shall proceed to the vicinity of a position having Monja Island and Corregidor Lighthouse in range, with Luzon Point bearing north thirty degrees west (true), flying her national colors, together with International Code Number, and there stop until communicated with by the Harbor Patrol Vessel which will be in that vicinity.
In the event of the absence of the Patrol Vessel from this locality, the vessel will proceed at a speed not exceeding five knots towards a line joining Guardia Shoal and Monja Island, and there await instructions from Cochinos Point Signal Station; this line shall not be passed until permission to do so has been granted.
In the event of a vessel being ordered by the Patrol Vessel or Cochinos Signal Station to proceed into Mariveles Harbor, she shall under no circumstance cross to the westward of a line joining Gorda Point and Monja Island.
When a vessel has been granted permission to proceed through the North Channel she will be given a code signal which shall be hoisted immediately and kept flying while within the restricted area above described. Under no circumstance shall she, on entering, pass a line joining Gorda Point and Monja Island without displaying this signal.
The Cochinos Signal Station is provided with International Signals, but routine signals may be made by shapes; that is to say, by Ball, Cubes (showing as Squares), and Cones.
