Section 44
SEC. 44. In case the cargo of a vessel wrecked or stranded is delivered into lighters or other vessels for conveyance into port, the roast district inspector shall keep an account thereof, and before any lighter or vessel having on board any of the cargo is allowed to depart, shall make out two lighter manifests in the form prescribed, to he signed by the master, and stating as particularly as possible what cargo has been taken on board thereof. One copy of such lighter bill shall be retained by the master, and be by him delivered at the custom-house on the arrival of the lighter or vessel in port; the other copy shall be transmitted by the coast district inspector to the surveyor, or collector, if no surveyor, at the nearest port of entry. Whenever necessary the surveyor shall send additional customs inspectors to any wrecked or stranded vessel.
