Clause 67

The Port Master or any police officer may go on board any vessel within the port whenever he suspects that any offence against this Part of this Ordinance has been or is about to be committed in any vessel, or whenever he considers it is necessary for him so to do in the discharge of any duty imposed upon him by this Part of this Ordinance, or otherwise by law.

Any master of such vessel who, without lawful excuse, refuses to allow the Port Master or police officer so to enter such vessel shall be guilty of an offence under this Ordinance and shall be liable on conviction for each offence to a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars.
