Section 85
SEC. 85. Within twenty-four hours after the arrival of any vessel from a foreign port or place at any port of the Philippine Archipelago, or as soon thereafter as the hours of business at the customhouse will permit, the master, consignee, or agent of the vessel is required to report the arrival thereof to the collector; and, exclusive of Sundays and holidays, to make entry of the vessel by filing all of the manifests under oath at the custom-house in the prescribed form. Except as otherwise provided in this Act a vessel may depart, at the option of the master, after report and before expiration of forty-eight hours. If the master, consignee, and agent all neglect or omit to report the arrival or to make entry of the vessel, the vessel shall forfeit and pay for each offense the sum of one thousand dollars, or one dollar per net ton, in the discretion of the collector. Any person bringing in a derelict vessel may take the master's oath, even if an alien.
