   the bill or may otherwise dispose of the goods on instructions from
   
   (a) the holder of a negotiable bill; or
   
   (b) the consignor on a nonnegotiable bill notwithstanding contrary
   instructions from the consignee; or
   
   (c) the consignee on a nonnegotiable bill in the absence of contrary
   instructions from the consignor, if the goods have arrived at the
   billed destination or if the consignee is in possession of the bill;
   or
   
   (d) the consignee on a nonnegotiable bill if he is entitled as against
   the consignor to dispose of them. (2) Unless such instructions are
   noted on a negotiable bill of lading, a person to whom the bill is
