All captains or commanders of steamboats navigating lakes, rivers, or bayous within the jurisdiction of the State of Louisiana, shall, when running during the night be compelled to hoist each two lights, both on the hurricane deck, one forward, and the other at the stern, which lights shall be kept up without intermission throughout the night, under the penalty of five hundred dollars for every failure or neglect, to be recovered of the captain or other commanding officer of such steamboat, one-half of which penalty shall be for the use of the informer.
