On the other hand, if the steamer or sailboat obeys the summons, then the warship puts out a boat with an armed prize crew and an officer to look over the ship's papers. These consist in certificates of nationality, of the sailing port, and port of destination, and they contain a bill of lading as to the nature of the cargo, also the names of the crew and a passenger list if it is a passenger steamer. If the ship is a neutral and her papers are satisfactory, she is allowed to proceed, whereas a...n enemy's ship is either captured or sunk. If a neutral ship carries contraband of war, this is either confiscated or de- stroyed, but if it exceeds half the total cargo, then this ship is also condemned. It is nearly impossible for a sub- marine to send a prize crew on board a big ship, therefore neutral States 63 THE JOURNAL OF have given their captains the order to go in a ship's boat and deliver their papers themselves on board the sub- marine; but they often annoyed us by a long parley and delay, and it was always with a feeling of disappointment that we were obliged to leave inactive our cannons and torpedoes, the crew sadly exclaiming, "After all, they were only neutrals!" One sunny afternoon, we were in the act of examining the papers of a Dutch steamer that we had stopped in the neighborhood of the Meuse Lightship, when we perceived on the horizon an- other steamer coming rapidly towards us, and we judged by its outline that it was of English construction.
