 Instructions To Masters
 
(i) A record of every birth of a child or death of a person ON BOARD ship is required to be made by the Master of every Indian ship (excepting a Home-Trade ship of less than 200 tons gross) in the official log book and a return thereof forwarded to the Director General of Shipping.
