  7. When an order has been made under clause 21 hereof the Administrator may at the same time or at any time thereafter, and either before or after the expiration of the period of forty-two days mentioned in clause 22 hereof, order any constable to arrest the immigrant and to detain him in custody until he can be placed on board a vessel about to leave for ports beyond Samoa.
