SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO MERCHANT VESSELS.
(1.) PROCEDURE FOR VISIT AND SEARCH OF VESSELS BY H.M. SHIPS.
In view of the danger of H.M. ships closing vessels, apparently Neutral, British, or Allied traders, but which are in reality German raiding-cruisers, it is necessary to adopt a special boarding procedure as a measure of precaution. This procedure has been notified to all Neutral and Allied Powers.
When it is desired to put into force the special boarding procedure it will be as follows:—
A red pendant of a specially large size will be hoisted by the man-of-war exercising the right of visit and search. The hoisting of this pendant will be accompanied by the firing of a rocket. This will signify that the merchant ship is to close the boat lowered by the man-of-war, whether the man-of-war remains in the vicinity of the boat or not.
