Instructions as to what signal will pass the vessel through the defence will be given to the Master together with a written pass signed by the Officer in charge of the Examination Service.

(6.) Vessels wishing to leave by night must provide themselves with two red

and two white lights.

(7.) Should the Senior Naval Officer consider it advisable to close the Port to out-going craft by night, three red lights hoisted at Blackhead Hill will indicate Eastern Entrance closed, three red lights at Harbour Office Western Entrance closed.

By day three red balls will be hoisted as previously notified.

(8.) A limited number of monthly passes permitting launches and pleasure craft to leave the harbour will in future be issued. They may be obtained under the same conditions as at present, viz., from the Officer in charge of the Examination Service through the Colonial Harbour Master with the permission of the Provost Marshal. These passes will be re- newable on the first of each month.

Special arrangements will be made in the case of yacht races on application
