seiged, blockaded, or invested, it is agreed
that every vessel so ciroumstanced may be
! turned away from such port or place. but
shall not be detained, nor shall any part of
| her cargo, if not contra band of war. be con-
iscated, unless, after warning OF such
blockade or investment from an officer com
handing vessel of the blOCkading forces
| by an Endorsement OF such officer on the
| papers of the vessel, mentioning the date
and the latitude and longitude where such
| Endorsement was made, she shall again at
| tempt to enter; but she shall be permitted
to go to any other port Or place she shall
| think proper Nor shall any vessel of either,
| that may have entered into such port before
| the same was actually beseiged, blOckad6d,
or invested by the other, be restrained from
! quitting such place with her cargo, nor,
| ii found therein after th3 reduction and
surrender, shall such vessel or her
| cargo be liable to cOnhsCati0n, but they
| shall be restored to the owners thereof; and
| if any vessel having thus entered any port
| before the blockade took place, shall take
| on board a cargo after the blockade be es-
! tablished, she shall be subject to being
warned by the blockading forces to return
| TO the port hlOCkaded and discharge the
! said cargo, and if, alter receiving the said
warning, the vessel shall persist in going
| out with the cargo, she shall be liable to
! the same consequences as a vessel attempt
| ing to enter a blockaded port after being
| warned off by the blockading forces.
