POSSESSIONS ABROAD.

INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE BRITISH
AND GERMAN AND THE BRITISH AND FRENCH
GOVERNMENTS FOR THE MUTUAL RELIEF OF
DISTRESSED SEAMEN.

THE Officer will observe that the agreements concluded
by the British Government with the German and

tions to Officers in British Possessions Abroad.

the officer should, as a matter of course, take charge
of either German or French subjects, being seamen,
whose last service at sea was on board of British
vessels.

Agreement between the British and German Govern-
ments for the Mutual Relief of Distressed Seamen.

[Signed at London, 27th May, 1879.]

THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and
the Government of His Majesty the German
Emperor, King of Prussia, being desirous to make
arrangements for the relief of distressed seamen of
the two nations, in certain cases, the undersigned,
duly authorized to that effect, have agreed as
follows:-

If a seaman of one of the Contracting States, after
serving on board a ship of the other Contracting
State, remains behind in a third State or in its
colonies, or in the colonies of that State whose flag the
ship carries, and the said seaman is in a helpless
condition in consequence of shipwreck or from other
causes, then the Government of that State whose flag
the ship bears shall be bound to support the said
seaman until he enters into ship-service again, or
finds other employment, or until he arrives in his
native State or its colonies, or dies.

But this is on condition that the seaman so
situated shall avail himself of the first opportunity
that offers to prove his necessitous condition and the
causes thereof to the proper officials of the State
whose support is to be solicited, and that the destitu-
tion is shown to be the natural consequence of the
termination of his service on board the ship, other-
wise the aforesaid liability to afford relief lapses.

The said liability is also excluded if the seaman has
deserted, or has been turned out of the ship for any
criminal act, or has left it on account of disability
for service in consequence of illness or wounding
resulting from his own fault.

The relief includes maintenance, clothing, medical
attendance, medicine, and travelling expenses; in
