THE BRITISH COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH CHINA
9.--Any cargo and passenger boats may be towed by steamers. The helmsman and crew of any boat towed shall be Chinese. All boats, irrespective of ownership, must be registered before they can proceed inland.
10.-These Rules are supplementary to the Inland Steam Navigation Regulations of July and September, 1898. The latter, where untouched by the present Rules, remain in full force and effect but the present Rules hold in the case of such of the former Regulations as the present Rules affect. The present Rules, and the Regulations of July and September, 1898, to which they are supplementary, are provisional, and may be modified, as circumstances require, by mutual consent.
Done at Shanghai this fifth day of September in the year of Our Lord, 1902; cor- responding with the Chinese date, the fourth day of the eighth moon of the twenty- eighth year of Kwang Hsü.
