right to search malls when on boa.rd
the . . .essel itself , but elalms the Sma.
lenale had no right to take orf malls
In 111111. fl'om the vessel. 'fho further
argument Is advanced that the right
of search can only be exercised b ' a
warship , whereas the SnlOlenslt tra'
versed the Dardanelles only recently

not assuming the character of. a. war.
Ehlp. 'fhe German gove1'l1ment has
