EXAMINATION SERVICE.

No. 471.--The Naval Examination Service which was instituted on the 2nd August, 1914, will come to an end at 8 a.m., on Thursday, the 5th December, 1918.

There will no longer be any restriction on the channels by which vessels may enter the port.

The Police Examination which is carried out under the Travellers Restriction Ordi- nance, 1915, will continue.

Pending the issue of regulations which will alter certain details of this Police ex- amination, all ocean-going ships must fly the police flag on entering the port and should proceed to their buoys and there await the arrival of the police. No person is to be allowed to land from any such ship until the police examination has taken place, and no such ship may go alongside a pier or alongside any other ship until that examination has taken place. No ocean-going ship shall leave the Colony until it has been examined by the police.
