20. Expenses under these Regulations must not be incurred for foreign seamen, after serving on a British ship, when in their own countries or in the Colonies of their own countries.
21. In order to provide for the passage to a proper return port of a distressed seaman suffering from mental derangement, the proper authority, with the object of ensuring that requisite care and attendance shall be given to the seaman during the voyage, may make a special arrangement with a master agreeing to pay, if necessary, such sum for the passage in addition to the usual allowance as may appear fair and reasonable under the circumstances. A copy of the agreement so entered into should in every case be forwarded to the Board of Trade as soon as possible, and also, in any case where it is desirable to send the seaman to a foreign port or to a port in a British possession, whether en route or otherwise, to the proper authority at that port.
In the case of a seaman arriving under such circumstances at his port, the proper authority may in addition to the usual allowance pay to the master the amount of the extra passage money on production of such an agreement, and upon being satisfied that the seaman has received the special care and attendance stipulated for. An immediate advice of such a payment, together with the original agreement and the receipt of the master for the passage money, should be sent to the Board of Trade.
22. Whenever a passage to a proper return port is required for a distressed seaman at a port infected at the time with cholera, yellow fever, or plague, or for a distressed seaman who has suffered from any of those complaints, whether the port from which he is sent be an infected port or not, a certificate should be obtained by the proper authority from a duly qualified medical practitioner that he is not a source of infection.
