the definition in section 237 of the Merchant Shipping Act, so far as foreign ships are concerned see observation in clause 3.8 (b)"

On this point the Harbour Master states that this is so, but the passenger traffic between places in the Colony is confined to junks and small craft whereas a very large number of foreign ships carry full complements of passengers from this Colony to other places. This also is a provision which has stood the test of many years' experience here.

As regards section 10 subsection (24) the Board of Trade suggests that its provisions should be limited to passenger ships registered in the Colony or being within its waters. The Harbour Master, however, submits in reply that the passenger ships registered in this Colony are very few in number while there are a large number of ships registered elsewhere carrying passengers to and from the Colony. It seems that such ships must be within the waters of the Colony to enable the master to report to the Harbour Master.

As regards section 13 the Board of Trade's interest is as follows: -

"This section seems as regards the matters therein referred to put British and Colonial ships entirely in the hands of the Governor in Council notwithstanding that they may comply with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act. Should ships not such as comply with the provisions of that Act be exempted and is it not intended that junks or lorchas shall be provided with ...? They are not included in the word "ships".

The Harbour Master states in reply that we only provide for certain classes of ships whereas the Merchant Shipping Act provides for many more also the arrangement of the classes is not identical with the Merchant Shipping Act's Regulations however are the same as in the Merchant Shipping Act so that any ship complying with that Act would be in accord with our ... as to LSA Ordinance. It is not desired to apply the provisions to junks or lorchas.
