4. A German vessel breaking bulk and commencing to discharge before having ob- tained due permission, or smuggling on the river or outside the bar, shall be subject to a penalty not exceeding eight hundred ticals and to confiscation, of the goods so smuggled or discharged.
5. As soon as a German vessel shall have discharged her cargo and completed her outward lading, paid all her duties and delivered a true manifest of her outward cargo to the German Consular Officer, a Siamese port clearance shall be granted to her, and, in the absence of any legal impediment to her departure, the Consular Officer will then return the ship's papers to the master and allow the vessel to leave. A Custom-house Officer will accompany the vessel to Paknam, and there she will be inspected by the Custom- house Officers of that station and will receive back from them the guns and ammunition previously delivered into their charge.
6. All Custom-house Officers shall carry a badge, by which they can be distinguished when acting officially, and only two Custom-house Officers shall be allowed on board a German vessel at one time, unless a greater number should be required to effect the seizure of smuggled goods.
