Section 50
SEC. 50. Discharging inspectors are assigned to vessels for the purpose of examining the cargoes and superintending the unlading and storing or delivery thereof, so as to prevent loss to the revenue of the Islands through failure to secure any lawful duties. They shall send to the nearest postoffice all letters, packages, and bags containing mail matter, take an account thereof, superintend the delivery to the postmaster and obtain a receipt therefor. They shall obtain from the masters of vessels lists of articles reported by them at the custom-house as sea stores, compare the articles of the list and seal or secure all unbroken packages of dutiable goods claimed as stores, and report the same, with any excess of stores to the collector or the surveyor.
