OF A SHIP ENGAGED IN THE HOME TRADE ONLY.

PAGES.

On

NOTICE.-As this Agreement is made for Voyages in the Home Trade only, the Crew need not be engaged before a Superintendent of Mercantile Marine.
whatever date the Agreement is made it expires on the next following 30th day of June or 31st day of December next, as the case may be, and is then, or within twenty-one days
afterwards, to be delivered to the Superintendent of a Mercantile Marine Office. If, however, the Ship is absent from the United Kingdom on the 30th day of June or 31st day
of December, then this Agreement remains in force until the first arrival of the Ship at her final port of destination in the United Kingdom after such day, or the discharge of
cargo consequent on such arrival, when it is to be delivered up to a Superintendent.

On this Agreement and Account of Crew being duly completed and deposited at a Mercantile Marine Office, the Superintendent will issue the Certificate C. C., to enable the
Ship to be cleared at the Custom House.
Neglect to deposit the returns within the time prescribed by the Merchant Shipping Act subjects the Owner or Master to a penalty, and will lead to delay in the issue of the
Clearance Certificate and consequent detention of the Ship.
N.B.-The Master's attention is specially directed to the "Instructions to Masters of Home Trade Vessels," contained on page [683].
