Search lights.

Restriction on beating of drums or gongs and on discharge of fireworks.

Restriction on Naked and Portable Lights.

No. 10 of 1899.

MERCHANT SHIPPING.

23. Any vessel approaching a defended port in the Colony of Hong-kong when searchlights are being worked, and finding that they interfere with her safe navigation, may make use of the following signals, either singly or combined:

(a) By flashing lamp, four short flashes followed by one long flash. (b) By whistle siren, or fog-horn, four short blasts followed by one long blast.

Whenever possible, both flashing lamp signals and sound signals should be used.

On these signals being made, the searchlights will be worked so as to cause the least inconvenience, being either doused, raised, or their direction altered.

The signal should not be used without real necessity, as unless the vessel is actually in the rays of the searchlight it is impossible to know which searchlight is affected.

The signals are designed to assist mariners and do not render the Government liable in any way.

VII-DRUMS, GONGS AND FIREWORKS.

24. No person shall, on board any junk or other Chinese vessel or boat without a permit from the Registrar General, beat any drum, or gong, discharge, kindle, or let off any firework, or attempt to do so in the waters of the Colony, between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., under a penalty not exceeding 50 dollars, or imprisonment for any term not exceeding 6 weeks.

VIII.--NAKED AND PORTABLE LIGHTS.

25. No naked or portable light shall be used by any person on board any ship or other vessel in the waters of the Colony for any purpose, on deck or below, except the electric light, or candles, or oil lamps burning animal, vegetable, or such other oil as will not give off an inflammable vapour at a temperature of less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit when tested in the manner set forth in the Schedule to the Case Oil, and Bulk Oil, Rules, made under Section 6 of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873, (No. 1 of 1873).

And any person who is responsible for or is a party to a breach of this regulation shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.
