124. If any paymaster or other proper officer shall be removed from one ship to another, the collector or other proper officer of any port may permit the transhipment of the remains of any tobacco for the use of such other ship, upon due entry thereof by such paymaster or other proper officer, setting forth the time when and the port at which such tobacco was first shipped: and if any such ship shall be paid off, the collector or other proper officer of the port may permit the remains of such tobacco to be landed, and to be entered by the paymaster or other proper officer of such ship, either for payment of duties, or to be warehoused for the term of six months for the supply of some other ship, in like manner as any tobacco may be warehoused and supplied at any port, or for payment of all duties within such six months; and all tobacco warehoused for the purpose of so supplying Her Majesty's ships of war shall be subject to the laws in force relating to the warehousing of tobacco generally so far as the same are applicable.
