of the customs in the districts 

 within which the said vessels may 

 be, to visit them, to remain on 

 board, and to take all such pre- 

 cautions as may be necessary to 

 prevent all illicit communication 

 during the stay of the said vessels. 



Art. 8. It is agreed that the 

 vessels of one contracting party, 

 on entering the ports of the other, 

 may confine themselves to dis- 

 charging only a part of their 

 cargoes according as the captains 

 or owners shall think fit, and that 

 they may freely depart with the 

 rest without paying duty, except 

 for the part unloaded. They 

 may then sail to other ports of 

 the same country, and discharge 

 other portions of their cargo in 

 like manner. It being understood 

 that the shipping duties, what- 

 ever they may be, shall be paid 

 at the first port in which a vessel 

 breaks bulk, and shall not be 

 demanded in any others in which 

 she may unload part of her cargo, 

 unless additional duties be there 

 paid, in the like case, by vessels 

 belonging to the country. 



Art. 9. The citizens and sub- 

 jects of either country shall enjoy 

 in the ports of the other, as well 

 for their vessels as for their 

 merchandise, all the duties and 

 facilities of entrepot which the 

 most favoured nations enjoy in 

 the same ports. 



Art. 10. In the case that any 

 vessel belonging to one of the 

 two states, or to their citizens or 

 subjects, has suffered any damage 

 on the coasts of the states of the 

 other, every assistance shall be 

 aSbrded to the persons ship- 

 wrecked. The ships and mer- 

 chandise, or what they have pro- 

 duced, if sold, on being claimed 



within a year and day by the 

 owners or their agents, shall be 

 restored on paying the same ex- 

 penses of salvage as the natives 

 would in like case pay. 



Art. 11. It is agreed that Swe- 

 dish and Norwegian ships arriving 

 direct from Eui'ope to the United 

 States, or vessels of the said 

 states arriving direct to Sweden 

 or Norway, and furnished with 

 certificates of health from the 

 competent officer of the port 

 whence they sailed, shall be sub- 

 ject to no quarantine, except 

 such as may be necessary to give 

 the officer of health of the port at 

 which the vessel arrives the op- 

 portunity of visiting her, unless it 

 shall appear that during the voy- 

 age some person on board has 

 been attacked with a malignant or 

 contagious malady, or that the 

 country whence the vessel comes 

 has been regarded as infected, 

 and has been made the subject of 

 a previous ordinance, directing all 

 vessels arriving from it to be 

 regarded as suspected, and sub- 

 ject to quarantine. 



Art. 12. The Treaty of Friend- 

 ship and Commerce, concluded 

 at Paris in 1783, by the Plenipo- 

 tentiaries of Sweden and the 

 United States, shall be renewed 

 and put in force by the present 

 treaty, with respect to what is 

 contained in Articles 2, 5, 6, 7, 

 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,

 on the same day by the same 

 Plenipotentiaries. 



Art. 13. Considering the re- 

 moteness of the two high con- 

 tracting powers, and the uncer- 

 tainty i-esulting therefrom, as to
