SEC. 58. Discharging inspectors shall not leave their vessels for any cause without the consent of the surveyor nor go below deck, nor leave at night without closing the hatches or sealing them, so as to prevent the landing of cargo during their absence, nor until relieved by the night inspectors, when they shall call the attention of the latter to goods remaining on the wharves. When two or more inspectors are assigned to a vessel they shall remain on board as long as their services are required, and shall not leave the vessel for any purpose, nor go below deck for meals, unless one of their number be left in charge.
