Excerpt from The American Journal of International Law, 1916, Vol. 10If there are controlling reasons why the vessels' may not be sent in for adjudication, as unseaworthiness, the existence of infectious disease, or the lack of a prize crew, they may be appraised and sold, and if this can not be done they may be destroyed. The imminent danger of re capture would justify destruction if there was no doubt that the vessel was good prize. But in all such cases all the papers and other testimony should be sent to the prize court in order that a decree may be entered.As was the case with the Russian regulations, no distinction was made between enemy and neutral prizes. Whether it was intended to author ize the destruction of neutral merchantmen in any case may be doubted. In fact, no merchant vessels, either enemy or neutral, were destroyed during the war with Spain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
