TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS. 75 



ARTICLE X. 



United States fishing vessels entering the bays or harbours referred 

 to in Article I. of this Treaty shall conform to harbour regulations 

 common to them and to fishing vessels of Canada or of Newfound- 

 land. 



They need not report, enter, or clear, when putting into such bays 

 or harbors for shelter or repairing damages, nor when putting into 

 the same, outside the limits of established ports of entry, for the pur- 

 pose of purchasing wood or of obtaining water ; except that any such 

 vessel remaining more than twenty-four hours, exclusive of Sundays 

 and legal holidays, within any such port, or communicating with the 

 shore therein, may be required to report, enter, or clear ; and no vessel 

 shall be excused hereby from giving due information to boarding 

 officers. 



They shall not be liable in any such bays or harbors for compulsory 

 pilotage; nor, when therein for the purpose of shelter, of repairing 

 damages, of purchasing wood, or of obtaining water, shall they be 

 liable for harbor dues, tonnage dues, buoy dues, light dues, or other 

 similar dues ; but this enumeration shall not permit other charges in- 

 consistent with the enjoyment of the liberties reserved or secured by 

 the Convention of October 20, 1818. 



44 ARTICLE XI. 



United States fishing vessels entering the ports, bays, and harbors 

 of the Eastern and Northeastern coasts of Canada or of the coasts 

 of Newfoundland under stress of weather or other casualty may 

 unload, reload, tranship, or sell, subject to customs laws and regula- 

 tions, all fish on board, when such unloading, transshipment, or sale 

 is made necessary as incidental to repairs, and may replenish outfits, 

 provisions and supplies damaged or lost by disaster; and in case of 

 death or sickness shall be allowed all needful facilities, including the 

 shipping of crews. 



Licenses to purchase in established ports of entry of the aforesaid 

 coasts of Canada or of Newfoundland, for the homeward voyage, 

 such provisions and supplies as are ordinarily sold to trading vessels, 

 shall be granted to United States fishing vessels in such ports, 

 promptly upon application and without charge; and such vessels, 

 having obtained licenses in the manner aforesaid, shall also be 

 accorded upon all occasions such facilities for the purchase of casual 

 or needful provisions and supplies as are ordinarily granted to the 

 trading vessels; but such provisions or supplies shall not be obtained 

 by barter, nor purchased for re-sale or traffic. 



ARTICLE XII. 



Fishing vessels of Canada and Newfoundland shall have on the 

 Atlantic coast of the United States all the privileges reserved and 

 secured by this Treaty to United States fishing vessels in the afore- 

 said waters of Canada and Newfoundland.
