Watchmen and Stokers, while on duty, must at all times be neatly dressed in uniform. The man on the Tower will strike the hours and half hours by the ships' bells. He must keep a strict look-out and ring the alarm (vide Sec. II), without delay should he see a Fire in any part of Victoria. In doubtful cases, or in the event of fire on board ship, or in British Kowloon, he will call the Engine Driver without delay and be guided by his instructions.
The Stoker on duty in the Central Station will remain in the Engine room, and the Watchman will be responsible for the rest of the building.
In the event of Fire, the Watchman on Engine House duty will remain in charge of the building while the other Watchmen and Stokers accompany the Engines and Hose Reels to which they are attached.
XI-Whenever any Foreman, Watchman, Engine Driver, or other Member of the Fire Bri- gade shall be guilty of any neglect or violation of duty, or Breach of Discipline, or shall be guilty of any disobedience to the Regulations framed under Section V of Ordinance No. 4 of 1868, or of any other misconduct as a Member of the Fire Brigade; or who shall not, upon ceasing to belong to the Brigade, deliver up all uniform, accoutrements and appointments entrusted to him for the perform- ance of his duty, then, upon proof thereof to his satisfaction, any Police Magistrate shall have power to order the offender to forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding twenty-five dollars, or award imprison- ment for any term not exceeding seven days together with forfeiture of pay during such impri-
sonment.
