constrained by weather or any other force or necessity for avoiding
the danger of the Sea. And when it shall so happen, they shal
presently make known the cause of their coming to the Governor

their stay in those Ports they shall commit no hostile Act, not
do any thing to the prejudice of the said Ports.
