Cap. 37 Art. 53Clearance of vessel after departure.

If a vessel allowed to land goods without first making a report, departs whether with goods shipped on board or in ballast, and without being cleared as required in the case of other vessels, the agent of the owner shall, within twenty-four hours of such departure, exclusive of

Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, clear such vessel by delivering a content thereof in the manner and form required in the case of other vessels, and generally by doing all things in reference to such content, which the masters of other vessels are required to do; and in case of any default, he shall be liable to the penalties to which such masters in like case are liable.
