by the course provided in section 218 (!1) of this title, by reason
of the cause mentioned in said section, he may direct that the

master of the vessel, desires to enter a port of entry in any other
district where no such obstructions to the execution of the laws
exist, the master may be permitted so to change the destination of
the vessel and cargo in his manifest; whereupon the collector shall
deliver him a written permit to proceed to the port so designated.
And the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the

Sec. 226. Protection of liens on condemned vessels
-STATUTE-
In all cases wherein any vessel, or other property, is condemned
in any proceeding by virtue of any laws relating to insurrection or
rebellion, the court rendering judgment of condemnation shall,
notwithstanding such condemnation, and before awarding such vessel,
or other property, or the proceeds thereof, to the United States,
or to any informer, first provide for the payment, out of the
proceeds of such vessel, or other property, of any bona fide claims
which shall be filed by any loyal citizen of the United States, or
of any foreign state or power at peace and amity with the United
States, intervening in such proceeding, and which shall be duly
established by evidence, as a valid claim against such vessel, or
other property, under the laws of the United States or of any State
thereof not declared to be in insurrection. No such claim shall be
allowed in any case where the claimant has knowingly participated
in the illegal use of such ship, vessel, or other property. This
section shall extend to such claims only as might have been
enforced specifically against such vessel, or other property, in
any State not declared to be in insurrection, wherein such claim
