remove all infected persons, and to purify the

vessel and cargo.

But no cargo may be removed and no person may

be allowed to leave the ship or to go on board

without the sanction of the Health Officer.

In any case the time of quarantine may be ex-

bended or continued at the discretion of the Health

Officer and the Consul concerned.
