The first amendment of the Senate is simply a clerical one. The second is a just one. providing that. notwithstanding the sailor is in hospital. during the time he is there none of his wages shall be deducted by the hospital authorities or the United States. The second provision is that. notwithstanding the seaman has not left his vessel and has not attempted to enter the United States. nevertheless the immigration officials may go upon the vessel and remove this seaman from the vessel while it remains in United States waters if this seaman is afflicted with a disease that imight be spread if he were permitted to enter this country. In both instances. when he comes voluntarily or when he is taken off the ship by the immigration officials. he is removed to a hospital and all of the expenses while he is in that hospital. medical and otherwise. are paid by the ship that brought him to the shores of the United States.
