resort for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of
obtaining any facilities for warlike equipment; and no
ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be per-
mitted to leave any such port, roadstead, or waters from
which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the
same shall be a ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have
previously departed until after the expiration of at least
twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-men-
tioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of His
Majesty.

Rule 2. If there is now in any such port, roadstead, or
waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British
Crown any ship of war of either belligerent, such ship of
war shall leave such port, roadstead, or waters within
such time not less than twenty-four hours as shall be
reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances and the
conditions of such ships as to repairs, provisions, or things
necessary for the subsistence of her crew; and if after
the date hereof any ship of war of either belligerent shall
enter any such port, roadstead, or waters, subject to the
territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, such ship
shall depart and put to sea within twenty-four hours after
her entrance into any such port, roadstead, or waters,
except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring
provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her
crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities
of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be),
shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the
expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without
permitting her to take in supplies beyond what may be
necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel which
may have been allowed to remain within British 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 com-
pleted. Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which
there shall be any vessels (whether ships of war or mer-
chant ships) of both the said belligerent parties in the
same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial
jurisdiction of His 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.

Rule 3. No ship of war of either belligerent shall here-
after be permitted, while in any such port, roadstead, or
waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of His
Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions and
such other things as may be requisite for the subsist-
ence 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 named neutral 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 jurisdiction of His 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.

Rule 4. Armed ships of either belligerent 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 His Majesty’s
Colonies or possessions abroad.

The Governor or other chief authority of each of His
Majesty’s territories or possessions beyond the seas shall
forthwith notify and publish the above Rules.

I have, &c.,
