Permission will be given for the transfer of such animals from the vessel on which they arrive to lighters, cascos, or other suitable vessels, where they will be held until the above mentioned ninety days have elapsed; or, if any such animal disease appears until they have been free from disease for a period of ninety days, when they may be brought ashore.
