Sprague said ct it. the amount he allowed were hi equired bv British taw and declared he would be guided in fixing the medicinal liquor needs of in- C coming vessels by the law.- of the p countries from which they came. Ship's officers on the Baltic, how- ? ever, said that the 76 and a half tl bottles of spirits carried regularly 1>j in their medical stores fulfilled the si requirements of the British law that there should be a gaiion for each I* hundred passengers and crew. Al-1 -sj though French law calls for wine ations for the crew, the British of- j bi ficers said no such provisions were j contained in the laws under which t b they sailed. They laughingly said i c, that the quantity allowed them would answer legally for a passenger b list of 25.000.
