viz.-

The stay at Gibraltar may be extended, if specially required by the Admiralty Agent, but such extension is not in any case to exceed 6 hours.

The ordinary stay at Alexandria will be 72 hours, unless the Mail from India shall have previously arrived at Alexandria, in which case she shall leave Alexandria with Her Majesty's Mails as soon as Coals can be got on board, and the requisite repairs to the vessel and her machinery can be effected. The stay may, however, be extended, if the vessel from India has not arrived at Suez within the 72 hours, not, however, beyond 2 days in the month of February, 4 days in each of the months of April, June, September, and November, and 5 days in each of the remaining months of the year, unless the steamer from Calcutta shall be telegraphed in sight at Suez, when the Alexandria Steamer shall remain until the Indian Mails are on board.
