{ The question OF whether this can be
considered an American home port OF
not under the law is one that Commits
siorer Amy win refer to United states
Attorney Breckons. The law provides
that shipwreeked sailors shall be
given transportation to home port
at the expense of the United States.
and fund for that purpose is pro-
vided by law. But the question arises
whether this can be considered home
port under the law. Mr.. Amy sug-
gests that. if shipwrecked crew from
an American vessel should reach Ma
Mia. which is now an American port,
they might not consider it a "home''
port in any sense contemplated by the
/ law
