§ 21. The captain of a foreign merchant-ship coming to an anchor in 

 the port or in the roads is obliged, on his arrival, to give a statement 

 of the health of the ship's crew, and should, after this, a contagious 

 illness be discovered on board of his vessel, he must immediately inform 

 the Commander of the place thereof. The vessel, according to circum- 

 stances, will be either sent off or put under quarantine in a plaqe appro- 

 l^riated for the j)urpose, where the crew may be cured without i)utting 

 the inhabitants in danger of infection. Should the captain of such a 

 ship coiu^eal the circumstance, the same will be confiscated with her 

 whole cargo. 



§ 22. The master of a vessel, at the request of the Commander of a 

 place, is obliged to produce a list of the whole crew and all the passen- 

 gers, and should he omit any, he shall pay a fine of 100 dollars for every 

 one left out. 



§ 23. The captains are bound to keep their crew in strict order and 

 proper behaviour on the coasts, and in the ports, and likewise prevent 

 their trading or bartering with the Company's people. They are 

 answerable for the conduct of their sailors and other inferiors, illicit 

 trade carried on by sailors subjects the vessel to the same penalty as if 

 done by the captain himself, because it were easy for the captains to 

 carry on smuggling without punishment, and justify themselves by 

 throwing the fault on the sailors. Therefore, every article found upon 

 sailors Avhich they could not hide in their ])ocketsor under their clothes 

 to screen from their su])eri()rs, sold or bought on shore, will be con- 

 sidered as contraband from the ship, and is subject to the prescribed 

 fine. 



§ 24. Foreign men-ofwar shall likewise c()mi)ly with the above-stated 

 Kegulations for the merchaiiL ships, to maintain the rights and benefit 

 oi" the Comjtany. In case of op])osition, comi)laints will be made to 

 their Governments. 



§ 25. In case a ship of the llussian Imperial Navy, or the one belong- 

 ing to the Eiussian American Company, meet a foreign vessel on the
