Article IX of the Treaty with the United States contains these words: "And the United States of America agree that in ease of the shipwreck of any American vessel and its being pillaged by pirates, or in case any American vessel shall be pillaged or captured by pirates on the seas adjacent to the coast, without being shipwrecked, the national vessels of the Fuited States shall pursue the said pirates, and if captured deliver them over for trial and punishment." It may be contended that there is no restriction placed in this elanse upon the parsuit: that when it says vessels may pursue pirates it means that the naval and military force such vessels carry way pursue them anywhere on sea or land, But this, we think, is giving a far wider meaning to the words than they were ever intended to hear, or can legitimately be made to bear, especially when they are considered in the light of the further undertaking relating to piracies which is Ale)ontained in Article XIII of the same Treaty, which reads as follows:
