It shall be lawful for the Harbour Master or the Government Marine Surveyor at any time to go on board any steamship licensed under this section for the purpose of inspecting the same.
(11.) The master of every steamship not exceeding sixty tons shall within eighteen hours after arrival in the waters of the Colony, report such arrival at the Harbour Master's Office or at the nearest "Harbour Master's Station," and shall furnish the particulars hereinafter mentioned, which shall be entered in a register kept for the purpose; that is to say:

(13.) No steamship not exceeding sixty tons shall leave any Port of the Colony without a clearance or a special permit, unless the safety of the vessel (through stress of weather) renders it necessary to do so, and in such case she shall return to her former anchorage when such necessity for leaving it has ceased.

No such steamship shall leave any Port of the Colony between the hours of six o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning from October to March inclusive, or between the hours of seven o'clock in the evening and five o'clock in the morning from April to September inclusive, without a special permit or a special clearance to be called a "night clearance," for which a fee of one dollar shall be paid.
