waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any
such port, roadstead, or waters for a longer period
than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs
shall have been completed. Provided, nevertheless,
that in all cases in which there shall be any vessel
(whether ships of war or merchant ships) of the said
belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or
waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her
Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than
twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom
of any such vessel (whether a ship of war or merchant
ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent
departure therefrom of any ship of war of the other
belligerent; and the time hereby limited for the
departure of such ships of war respectively shall
always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as may
be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but no
further or otherwise.
-
No ship of war of either belligerent shall
hereafter be permitted, while in any port, roadstead,
or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of
Her Majesty, to take in any supplies, except pro-
visions and such other things as may be requisite for
the subsistence of her crew, and except so much coal
only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the
nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer
destination, and no coal shall again be supplied to
any such ship of war in the same or any other port,
roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdic-
tion of Her Majesty, without special permission, until
after the expiration of three months from the time
when such coal may have been last supplied to her
within British waters as aforesaid. -
Armed ships of either party are interdicted from
carrying prizes made by them into the ports, har-
bours, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom,
the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, or any of Her
Majesty's Colonies or possessions abroad.
