limits and thus constitute a very grave danger to ships within the harbour limits which have taken all pre- cautions in accordance with the orders of the Harbour Master. For this purpose, if for no other, it is essen- tial that the authority of the Harbour Master should extend to the natural boundary of the harbour on the eastward, ie, to Lyemun Pass. The definition in this Bill extends the harbour to Lyemun Pass on the east- ward, and also includes the area north of Stonecutters Island above referred to. This amendment is desirable also for the purposes of section 39 (18) of the Mer- chant Shipping Ordinance, which gives the Harbour Master certain powers over junks, lighters, cargo boats and small craft.
5. It should be noticed that the following results will also flow from the proposed amendment of the harbour limits :-
(a) Vessels affected by the Quarantine Regula- tious in Table L in the Schedule to the Mer- chant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, if arriving in Hong Kong between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., will have to anchor outside Lyemun Pass. (b) Under Regulation 7 of Table M in the Schedule to the Merchant Shipping Ordi- nauce, 1899, vessels exceeding 60 tons will have to reduce their speed to 9 knots upon entering Lyemun Pass from the east.
