ORDINANCE No. 8 OF 1879. Merchant Shipping.

10. The master of every junk, whether licensed or not, about to leave her anchorage, shall, eighteen hours before the time of the intended departure of such junk, hoist at the highest mast-head such flag or signal as shall, from time to time, be specified by the Harbour Master, and also shall give notice of such intended departure and the nature of the proposed voyage, together with the general character of cargo, and particulars of any arms, ammunition and other such articles on board at the Harbour Master's office or station, as the case may be, at which the anchorage pass of such junk shall have been granted, and he will thereupon be furnished with a clearance in exchange for the anchorage pass of such junk, and if a licensed junk, the licence thereof will be returned to him: Provided always that in case such junk shall not leave her anchorage within twenty-four hours thereafter, the master shall report the same at the Harbour Master's office or station, as the case may be, and the reason thereof, and shall, if so required to do, return the said clearance, and if a licensed junk, also re-deposit the licence thereof.

11. The Harbour Master or the officer for the time being in charge of any Harbour Master's station may, from time to time, grant to any master of a junk a permit to be called a "special permit," which shall be a sufficient warrant or authority for the doing of any act mentioned in such permit.

12. Every master of a junk who shall violate or refuse or fail to comply with the provisions of subsections 4 and 5, shall incur a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars, or imprisonment with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding six calendar months.

13. Every master of a junk who shall refuse or fail to comply with the provisions of subsections 6 and 10, or shall knowingly give untrue particulars concerning the information which he is thereby required to furnish, shall incur a penalty not exceeding two hundred dollars, or imprisonment with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding six months, and it shall be lawful for the Governor, if he shall think fit, by warrant under his hand to order that any junk whereof the master has refused or failed to comply with the provisions of the said subsections, and whether such master shall have been brought to trial and punished or not, shall quit the waters of the Colony within twelve hours from the service of such order on board of such junk, under penalty of forfeiture of such junk to the Crown.
