HARBOUR MASTER'S DEPARTMENT.
Protection of Life and Property in the Harbour during Typhoon Weather.
1. When there are immediate prospects of the weather conditions becoming so bad as to place the Native Craft in the Harbour in danger of being unable to make shelter on their own account, a Red Ensign will be hoisted at the Harbour Office indicating that two Naval Tugs will be available to assist to tow such craft to shelter.
2. These Naval Tugs will fly the Red Ensign at the masthead and will proceed down to the Central and Southern Fairways to the limit of the shipping, and all mercantile or private craft which desire to avail themselves of a tow to shelter should be ready with their ropes to be taken in tow as the Tugs return.
3. All craft will be towed towards Yaumati Refuge.
4. If the wind is blowing from the Eastward, assistance to the shipping at the Western end of the Harbour will be rendered first.
5. Native Craft are not to depend on these Tugs entirely but should endeavour to make shelter on their own account, as early as possible.
6. The Naval Tugs will be used only in emergency, during the hours of daylight, and on no account will they be used for this work after dark.
7. No responsibility for damage done during towage will be taken by the Govern- ment or by the Naval Authorities.
