    after a temporary absence therefrom;

    (iii) Any person who shall deposit with the Collector
    of Customs good and sufficient security (to the satisfaction
    of the Collector) to indemnify the Administration of Samoa
    against any cost (but not exceeding £50) which it might be

    maintaining him pending transportation.
    (2) Any person who lands in Samoa in breach of the provisions
    of this clause (apart from his liability to prosecution in accordance with
    the provisions hereinafter appearing) may be arrested and deported
    therefrom in the same manner as if he were a prohibited immigrant:
    Provided, however, that the said power of arrest and deportation shall
    be exercised only upon and in accordance with an authority in writing
    duly signed by the Administrator.
