seven days immediately preceding her arrival.
(9) 'Suspected vessel' shall mean a vessel on which
there has been, at the time of departure or during the voyage,
a case of plague or of illness in respect of which reasonable
grounds exist for believing it to be a case of plague, but on
which there has been no case of plague or of illness reason-
ably suspected to be plague during the seven days imme-
diately preceding her arrival.
(10) 'Healthy vessel' shall mean a vessel which has
come from, or which during the voyage has touched at, an
infected port, but which has had no death or case of plague

articles shall mean infected, or suspected by the Port Health
Officer to be infected, with plague.

with a vessel from an infected port shall, when within three
miles of the coast of any part of the Madras Presidency, cause
to be hoisted by day and by night the port signals provided
for quarantine, viz., from sunrise to sunset the flag Q of the
Commercial Code at the foremast head, and from sunset to
sunrise three white lights in a vertical line one over the
11
other not less than three feet apart, to be hoisted where best
visible clear of the anchor lights.
(c) The master shall also signal the fact of the vessel
being 'infected,' 'suspected' or 'healthy' immediately to
the port authorities independently of the above signals.
(d) No tindal or other person in charge of or naviga-
ting any registered boat shall attempt to make such boat fast
to, or shall take it alongside of, a vessel detained under these
regulations or coming from an infected port, until such vessel
has been granted pratique by the Health Officer of the port.
3. The Port Officer, on the arrival of any vessel dis-
playing the flag or lights aforesaid, or if he ascertains from,
the master of such vessel, or otherwise has reason to believe,
that the vessel is 'infected,' 'suspected,' or 'healthy', or
that there is unusual mortality among the rats on board, shall
detain such vessel, and order the master forthwith to moor
or anchor the same in such place as may be fixed by him,
and the master shall moor or anchor accordingly. Provided

with the shore, the master, if he objects to submit to the
obligations imposed by these regulations, shall be free to put
back to sea. In such case, the Port Officer shall send immediate
information to the sanitary authorities of the port to which
the vessel is bound or at which she is next about to call.
4. While a vessel shall be so detained no person shall
leave the same.
5. The Port Officer, on the approach to the port of any
vessel displaying the flag or lights aforesaid, or on his detain-
ing any vessel as aforesaid, shall forthwith give notice thereof
and of the cause of such detention to the sanitary authority
of the port, and also to the Port Health Officer.
6. The detention by the Port Officer of a vessel under
regulation 3 shall cease as soon as the vessel shall have been,
as hereinafter provided, duly visited and examined by the
Port Health Officer, or, if the vessel shall, upon such examin-
ation, be found to be 'infected' or 'suspected,' as soon
as the same shall be moored or anchored in pursuance of
regulation 11,
7. The sanitary authority shall, as speedily as prac-
ticable, with the approval of the Port Officer, fix some place

these regulations, and shall make provision for the reception of

these regulations. The place to be fixed as aforesaid shall
be some place within the jurisdiction of the sanitary authority,
unless the local Government otherwise order, in which case
12
the place so fixed shall for the purposes of these regulations
be deemed to be within such jurisdiction.
8. On receiving the notice prescribed by regulation 5
the Port Health Officer shall forth with visit and examine
the vessel in regard to which auch notice shall have been given,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether she is 'infected,'
's
tality or any indication of the existence of plague among rats
on board. He shall also do so if he have' reason to believe
that any vessel which has arrived or is within the jurisdiction
of the sanitary authority, whether detained by the Port
Officer or not, is 'infected' or 'suspected' or has come from,
or touched at, a port where plague prevails, or has passen-
gers or crew on board who have been within an infected area
within the preceding seven days. The master of such vessel
shall permit it to be so visited and examined, and shall afford
all reasonable facilities for such examination as the Port
Health Officer may deem requisite.
9. For the purpose of ascertaining the state of the
vessel as aforesaid, the Port Health Officer may demand from
the doctor of the vessel or, failing him, from the master a
declaration on oath whether there has been or has not been a
case of plague on the vessel since her departure, or whether
any person suffering from, or suspected to be suffering from
plague has left or been removed from the vessel prior to or
during the voyage, or whether unusual mortality or any
indication of tñe existence of plague has been observed among
rats on board and all particulars relative to any such
circumstance; and the doctor or the master, as the case may
be, shall be bound to make a true declaration to the best of
his knowledge and belief. The master of a ship, any passen-
gers or any members of the crew on board of which have within
the preceding seven days been in an infected area, shall be
bound to transmit duplicates of passports to the Port Health
Officer with his bill of health and to offer him all reasonable
facilities for such examination as that officer may deem
requisite.
10. When the Port Health Officer has made such exami-
nation as aforesaid, he shall forthwith prepare a certificate
in duplicate in the form shown in Appendix A or to the
like effect, and shall deliver one copy to the master and
transmit the other to the sanitary authority. He shall also,
if the vessel is 'infected' or 'suspected,' give immediate
information of the fact to the Sanitary Commissioner for
Madras.
13
11. The master of any vessel certified by tlie Port Health
Officer to be 'infected' or 'suspected' shall thereupon
moor or anchor her, if he has not already done so, at tho
place fixed for that purpose under regulation 7 where she
shall remain until the requirements of these regulations
have been duly fulfilled, and from which she shall not depart
without the written or, where communication with the vessel
is impracticable owing to stress of weather, the signalled
permission of the Port Health Officer.
12. No person shall leave any such vessel until the
examination hereinafter prescribed shall have been made.
13. In the case of a vessel certified to be 'infected'
the following rules shall be observed:—
(i) The Port Health Officer shall examine every person
on board.
(ii) If any person on board such vessel is found to be
suffering from plague or from any illness which the Port
Health Officer suspects may prove to be plague, the Port
Health Officer shall certify accordingly. Every person who
shall be so certified by him shall, if possible, be disembarked
and shall be detained for treatment in a suitable hospital or
isolation camp or other place.
(iii) Every person who shall not be so certified by him
and whose destination is the port at which the vessel is lying
shall be permitted to land immediately on giving to the
sanitary authority or the Port Health Officer his name and
place of destination, stating his address at such place, and on
accepting a passport in accordance with regulation 1 of the
Madras Plague Regulations in force outside the Presidency
Town or the Regulations for the City of Madras as the case
may be. Provided that every person who has been in contact
with a case of pneumonic plague shall be disembarked and
detained under observation in an isolation camp or other place,
and that any other person on board whom the sanitary
authority or the Port Health Officer considers in any way likely
to carry the infection of plague shall also be disembarked
and shall have his clothing and personal effects disinfected.
Provided also that passengers arriving at the port of
Madras who have their clothing and other personal effects
disinfected by means of the steam disinfector at that port
shall not be required to take out passports as aforesaid.
(iv) All other persons remaining on board the vessel
(except those referred to in regulation 32 who shall be sub-
ject to the restrictions therein specified) shall be placed under
