concluded by Captain Moresby on the aforesaid date.
A rticle I.
That the Government cruisers, whenever they may meet vessels
belonging to my subjects beyond a direct line drawn from Cape Delgado,
passing two degrees seaward of the island of Socotra, and ending at
Pussem, and shall suspect that such vessel is engaged in the Slave
Trade, the said cruisers are permitted to detain and search it.
A rticle II.

subjects is carrying slaves, whether men, women, or children, for sale,
