insurance on additional risks. — 

 The claimant or claimants shall 

 likewise be entitled to interest, 

 at the rate of 5 per cent per 

 annum on the sum awarded, 

 until paid by the government to 

 which the capturing ship belongs; 

 the whole amount of such indem- 

 nifications being calculated in the 

 money of the country to which 

 the captured ship belongs, and to 

 be liquidated at the exchange cur- 

 rent at the time of award, ex- 

 cepting the sum for the subsist-

 -—The two high contracting par- 

 ties wishing to avoid, as much as 

 possible, every species of fraud 

 in the execution of the treaty of 

 this date, have agreed, that if 

 it should be proved, in a manner 

 evident to the conviction of the 

 commissary judges of the two 

 nations, and without having 

 recourse to the decision of a 

 commissioner of arbitration, that 

 the captor has been led into 

 error by a voluntary and repre- 

 hensible fault on the part of the 

 captain of the detained ship ; in 

 that case only, the detained ship 

 shall not have the right of re- 

 ceiving, during the days of her 

 detention, the demurrage stipu- 

 lated by the present article.
