    visions of subclause (d) of clause 12 hereof, but who fails to leave Samoa
    as provided in the said subclause (d) of clause 12 hereof, shall be deemed
    to be a prohibited immigrant, and the provisions of clauses 4, 5, and
    8 hereof shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such person and to the ship
    in which he travelled to Samoa, and the owner, charterer, and master
    thereof.

    (c) Any person, being one of the officers or crew of any mercantile
    vessel, provided—
    (i) That he is not discharged in Samoa:
    (ii) That he is on board the vessel when she is cleared
    outwards and leaves Samoa with her:
    (iii) That the Collector of Customs may, by notice
    under his hand delivered to the master of any such vessel,
    prohibit the landing in Samoa of its crew unless and until

    shall determine, conditioned for the due departure of the
    said crew when the vessel resumes its voyage from Samoa.

    to land in Samoa should be communicated to the Administrator for the
    purposes of this Order, such officer may, by order signed by him,
    temporarily prohibit that person from landing in Samoa.
    (2) Every such order shall, unless sooner revoked, expire in forty-
    eight hours after the day on which it was signed.
    (3) Every person who, with knowledge that such an order has been
