HARBOUR MASTER'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 14th May, 1859.
It is hereby notified to Masters and others in charge of Merchant Vessels, that, on or before the 1st Ju proximo, all Ships in Port are required to move over to the North side of the Harbour, and there moor with Forty five Fathoms of Chain to each Anchor, open Hawse to the North-East.
A Straight Lino from the North-West Point of the Island of Hongkong, intersecting the Southernmost Hou on the Beach at Limcburners' Village, Cheem-sha-tsui, extending towards the second high ridge from the North the Island of Lantao, such Line running nearly due East and West, will be the Line, south of which no Mercha Ship shall lay during the Typhoon monthis, without special permission from the Harbour Master.
To facilitate the business of the Port during fine weather, Vessels actually loading or unloading may, on written application from Consignees and request of the Master, receive special permission to lay over on the Town side the Harbour, whilst so engaged,such vessels having their sails bent and all clear to stand over for the opposite Coast on the first prognostic of foul weather. It is, however, clearly to be understood, that vessels pursuing this course do so entirely at the responsibility of Master and Agents.
Mercliant Ships, (with the exception of those calling for Orders, and whose stay in Port will not exceed from two to three days,) will keep their Topgallant Masts and Yards on Deck, Flying Jibboom in, and particula: attention must be paid to keep their Hawse clear,
As some Ships now in Harbour are moored in a most slovenly manner, so slack that it is impossible to keep their Chains from twisting, the Harbour Master finds it necessary to state that, in mooring Vessels, Masters are required to veer out Ninety Fathoms of Chain on their first anchor, and when taut in the required direction, the drop their second anchor, veering out on that Chain, and heaving in Forty-five Fathoms of their first.
Persons neglecting these precautionary measures will be subject to the full penalty provided in Section VIII of Ordinance No. 11 of 1845.
