The captain of a mail steamer carrying mails addressed to a naval division or warship holds them at the disposal of the com- manding officer of the division or vessel of destination, in case that the latter should happen to request their delivery en route. 4. If the ships are not found at the place of destination when the dispatches addressed to them arrive there, such dispatches are held at the post office until they are withdrawn by the addressee or forwarded to another point. Redirection may be requested either by the Postal Adminis- tration of origin or by the com- manding officer of the naval divi- sion or vessel of destination; or, finally, by a Consul of the same nationality. 5. Those of the dispatches in question which bear the note: Aux soins du Consul d -------- (in care of the Consul of -----_--) are delivered to the Consulate indicated. Later on, they may, at the request of the Consul, be turned back to the postal service and returned to the place of origin or forwarded to another destination. 6. Dispatches addressed to a warship are considered as being in transit up to their delivery to the commanding officer of that ship, even if they were originally addressed in care of a post office or to a Consul charged with serv- ing as intermediate forwarding agent; they are not, therefore, considered as having arrived at their address as long as they have not been delivered to the war- ship of destination.
