    Name or title of the addressee, with supplementary particulars if necessary.
    Name of the ship as it appears in the first column of the International List of Radio-telegraph Stations.
    Name of the coast-station as it appears in the International List of Radio-telegraph Stations, and including the word "radio."
    In the address, the name of the ship as it appears in the International List of Radio-telegraph Stations shall be counted in every case, and independently of its length, as one word.
    A radio-telegram drawn up by means of the International signal code will be forwarded to its destination without being decoded.
    In radio-telegrams for land stations the name of the despatching or transmitting coast-station need not be included in the address.

Relaying.

15. The sender of a radio-telegram intended for a ship may require that his telegram be transmitted to its destination by way of one or two (but not more than two) ship-stations. He must deposit for this purpose the amount of the radio-telegraphic charges for a single transmission, and in addition, as a deposit, a sum sufficient to cover the charges for the additional transmissions prescribed. He must further pay, as he may choose, either the charge for a telegram of five words or 4d. as postage of a letter to be sent by the coast-station to the station of origin, stating what portion of the deposit has been expended. The radio-telegram shall then be accepted at the risk of the sender. It must bear before the address the additional particulars, which must be paid for, "x retransmissions telegraph," or "x retransmissions letter" (x representing the number of retransmissions required by the sender), according to the method by which the sender desires that the information respecting the charges shall be furnished by the coast-station. The charge due to each ship engaged in relaying the radio-telegram shall be 4d. per word.
