point ought also TO he borne In mind.
In the old days adverse winds might
have made 1t a long operation 10 secure
the shelter OF a belliserent port Tor the
purposes OF search. but TO the modern
steamsnip this entails much less delay.
In short, from the belligerent point OF
view the attempt to search at sea is.
under modern conditions, so useless that
IL woul be the virtual abandonment OF
an imperative and vital belligerent
right; while from the point OF view OF
a neutral the attempt. although vain.
would be SO lengthy n so very haz-
ardous an operation as to be really out
OF the question.
III the conditions OF have
changed the conditions Of warfare nave
changed In equal degree. Consider what
occurs when a vessel II stopped for the
purpose OF search at sea. The signal Is
gVen. and IL Is universally acknowledged
that the neutral vessel must stop at its
peril. The wRrshlp which has given
the signal then usually puts a portion
OF her crew on board the merchantmen
Tor the purpose OF conducting the search.
