ien with other non-dutiable goods to
be carried on during the ordinary working hours according to
the season of the year — unless when overtime is worked by
mutual agreement, and Consignees are bound, weather permitt-
ing, to keep the discharge going continuously during said hours,
and to receive and to remove the cargo from the ship's gangway
in such a way as to enable the work to be carried on without
interruption throughout the entire discharge to the full extent
of the ordinary hours allowed for carrying on the work.
IV. — Lay Days when the Number is Specified.
1. The Master gives written notice to the Consignee when the vessel
is in the Discharging Berth assigned by the Harbour Master and ready
to discharge, and the lay days begin to count from the date on which
the said notice is given ; but the day of giving notice does not count as
a lay day unless the said notice is received by the Consignee before
Twelve o'clock noon.
2. In case the harbours are so crowded that the vessel cannot be
berthed, the Master gives written notice to the Consignee when the
vessel is in the Harbour Basin or moored at the Quays, and, provided
she would have been ready to begin discharging if the berth had been
available, such notice takes the place of that provided in the previous
clause.
3. Days (not described as " running days ") meaning working days
— i.e., Sundays and Customs and local holidays, do not count.
