All vessels engaged in the coasting trade shall carry the inter-island mails, free of charge, under such regulations as may from time to time be provided by law, or prescribed by the minister of the interior upon pain of forfeiting their licenses. It shall not be lawful for any vessel to carry passengers between the different islands of this kingdom, except such vessels as shall be especially licensed for that purpose, under a penalty of twenty dollars for each passenger so carried, to be recovered before any police or district justice. Before obtaining the said license, it shall be necessary that the vessel shall be thoroughly inspected by the harbor master of Honolulu, one of the pilots of said port, and some shipwright, to be appointed for that purpose by the collector general of customs; and if the said inspectors shall certify the vessel to be staunch and well equipped, and of sufficient capacity and accommodations to carry passengers, the owner of such vessel shall be entitled to receive a license from the collector general to carry passengers between the islands for one year, subject to all the passport regulations for carrying of females, as provided by law.

In case any vessel does not sail within forty-eight hours after receiving a clearance, it shall be the duty of the master to report the same to the collector of the port, under a penalty of not exceeding twenty-five dollars, to be imposed by said collector. No vessel shall be entitled to a clearance unless all proper charges at the harbormaster's office shall have been settled; and the collector may require the master or agent of the vessel to produce the harbor-master's certificate to that effect. To entitle any vessel to a clearance, it shall be incumbent on her commanding officer first to furnish the collector of the port with a manifest of the cargo laden on board of such vessel, which manifest shall be given under oath, contain a full statement of all the goods on board, expressing contents, quantities, and value, and distinguishing between domestic, foreign, and transshipped goods, and shall also contain a list of all stores taken from bond. He shall also furnish, in proper form, a list of all passengers intending to depart in said vessel. When goods are exported from bond it is necessary that the person exporting the same shall make an outward entry at the custom-house, in the form required by law; which said entry must be made before the clearance of the vessel in which the same are to be exported. If any vessel shall sail from any port in this kingdom without first obtaining a clearance, the commanding officer thereof shall be subject to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, in the discretion of the court; for the payment of which fine the vessel shall be liable to seizure, condemnation, and sale.

Collectors of customs at other ports in the kingdom than Honolulu may grant such permits for their respective collection districts. REGULATION CONCERNING STAMPS AND BLANKS ON INWARD ENTRIES.
