PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE LAW,

The following correspondence was laid on the table at the monthly meeting of the General Committee of the ilangkong General Chamber of Commerce held on 3rd inst

་

..... Hongkong, aged-July, 1999, Sir-We desire to call the attention of your comminee and especially to those members of it who represent shipping interests, to the 21st regulation of Table "M" of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance No. 10 of 1899. The oh- jct of this regulation is to control the nuisance caused by the unnecessary blowing of steam whistles in the barbour.

In the original regulations published simul; taneously with the ordinance, the regulations | ∙ran as follows:

"9. No steamship when at noother near or lying off the praya, or when mooted to or waiting at any wherf or landing.place, shall use the steam whistle, nor shall such steam». ship, when under way, usathe steam whistle, , except for the purpose of giving necessary notice of her approach: towards, any other **véssel,"

"to. No steamship when entering or leaving the harbour, or whes at anchor therein, shali use her steam whistle, except for the purpose of savigation or to avoid collision. The use of such 'steam whistle för any other purpose is hereby prohibited," These regulations were amended by the Government Gazette of the 10th March, 1908, page 342, and the following togolation. was substituted for the two quoted above :-

ad and the workmacabip and material will be

*14

l be found, to compare favourably with the

No.steamship shall use her steam whistle except for the purpose of navigation as laid down" by His Majesty's Order jo Council in Articles 15, 18 add 31 of the Collision Regulations.”

The effect of the prerect regulation l that, uolcas a steamship blows her whistle when in |«the waters of this Colony strictly for the pur-

tions for preventing collisions at sea a nuisance is committed for which the Master can be Gaed.

A large mooring basin is available alongside our own works for mooring vessels whilst pose of regulations 15, 38 and 3 of the regula tisdér röpaita.–

We are given to understand it is the invari able practice of seamen, both in the water of this Colony and in other crowded anchorages and possibly even in the open sen to give a warning on the whistle of a steamship's ap. proach to small craft whose presence or course might constitute danger either to themselves or to the steamship.

The decessity for this warning is particularly apparent in this harbour where steamers, when coming up to their buoys'or their wharver, have often to be steerad ́al such a speed as to pre-" clude their being under full steerage way ren- dering them often unáble, owing to the crowded state of the harbour and the influence of the tides, to avoid small craft which otherwise they would be bound to steer clear of.

Under regulation 21, as at present framed, a steamship cannot adopt the customary method of warning small craft without being able to conviction for a nuisance. On the assumption that the giving of these warning whistles is is accordance with the ordinary practice of sea men, Regulation at would also seem to be
