This Government also prohibits the conversation of passengers on more than two decks at any time, so that if a vessel carries passengers on the weather deck, they can only carry other passengers on the deck immediately below that deck.
The space allowed to each passenger on short voyages is 16 superficial feet on the lower deck; and, after deducting 4 feet on the weather deck for each passenger accommodated below, the remainder of the space on the weather deck is given to deck passengers at the rate of 16 superficial feet per person - skylights and other incumbrances not being included in the measurements, so that a vessel under such circumstances shall not be considered overcrowded.
Thirty days was mentioned in Ordinance 8 of 1871 (now Section VII of Ord: 5 of 1874) so that Shanghai might be brought into connection with Calcutta, should Chinese desire to go from one Port to the other.
I found that in actual practice, it is Chinese who leave only Foochow, Amoy, Swatow, and Shanghai for the Straits Settlements, and none leave these places under Section IIII of Ord: 5 of 1874 for Ports beyond that Colony.
It would, I venture to submit, be hard on the owners of British ships to prevent their vessels carrying deck passengers.
