TYPHOON SHELTERS.
A.-Causeway Bay.
1. The Typhoon Shelter at Causeway Bay is for affording shelter during bad weather to junks and other native craft, and to launches, lighters, and other small craft of European construction. It shall not be used by any other vessels except with the written permission of the Harbour Master.
2. No vessel, so long as any space remains unoccupied inside the breakwater, shall anchor, secure, or lie in such a position as to obstruct the free access of other vessels to such unoccupied space.
3. No vessel, except as provided for in regulation 4 of these regulations, shall enter or lie in the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter without the written permission of the Harbour Master, unless a typhoon warning is hoisted.
4. Nothing in these regulations shall prevent any vessel from using any recognised pier or landing place within the limits of the said Typhoon Shelter, for the purpose of landing or embarking passengers or cargo: but such vessel shall not remain within its limits longer than is absolutely necessary for such landing or embarking.
5. Any breach of these regulations shall be punishable upon summary conviction by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or by imprisonment for any term not exceeding three months.
B.-Yaumati Bay.
1. The Typhoon Shelter at Yaumati Bay is for affording shelter during bad weather to junks and other native craft, and to launches, lighters, and other small craft of European construction. It shall not be used by any other vessels except with the written permission of the Harbour Master.
2. No vessel, so long as any space remains unoccupied inside the breakwater, shall anchor, secure, or lie in such a position as to obstruct the free access of other vessels to such unoccupied space.
3. A fairway shall be kept clear from the southern entrance of the Yaumati Typhoon Shelter to the piers or wharves habitually used by the Yaumati ferry launches, until such launches stop running during a typhoon, after which such fairway may be occupied by vessels taking shelter, due regard being paid to the provisions of regulation 2 of these regulations.
