and the practice which prevailed up to June 1900
of making such grants trenches on the indepen

u 4. No subject of the Sultan, by accepting
French papers or flags, acquires any immunity
from the Sultans jurisdiction in the territories or
territorial waters of Oman either for himself or
for the crew of any ship commanded or owned by
him, or for any member of his family or for any
of his employes.
u 5. On the death of the owner of a vessel in
respect of which a French titre de navigation has
been granted, no right accrues to his heirs, as
such, to treat the vessel as qualified to fly the
French flag. The question in each case is one of
joersonal status.

French flag must be granted in respect of a
particular vessel, and cannot be used by the
holder in respect of any other.
u 7. France should, with all reasonable dispatch,
erase from her marine registers all native vessels
owned by subjects of the Sultan of Muscat, and,
in co-operation with the Sultan, should take steps
to obtain the surrender of all French flags and
papers now held by any such subjects.
" 8. In all cases in which France still claims as
subject or protege any owner or captain or sailor
of an Omani native vessel, she should, with
all reasonable dispatch, furnish to the Sultan any
proofs on which she claims that such owner or
captain or sailor is not a subject of the Sultan,
but is a subject or protege of France."
