To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By detaching one of those few he would still maintain his effective blockade, even though the chase we^'e continued beyond "the aggregate of the zones. " 192 THE DECLARATION OF LONDON That is true. But even so the mischief of Article 17 is not ended. For beyond this magic zone no blockade breaker may be captured at all by any one of his vessels. Herein, quite apart from the possible dilemma, lies the new restriction on the blockadcr. Once outside the zone, the blockade breaker may snap her fing...ers at him. So may twenty or a hundred blockade-breakers, all waiting for a chance which sooner or later they will probably get of slipping into the blockaded port. Such a rule makes the captiu-e or even the frighten- ing off of blockade-breakers infinitely more difficult. How difficult it is even under the existing law and practice of unlimited chase to any distance, those know who have any knowledge of what happened in the blockade of the confederate ports during the American Civil War. The law of nations, as declared consistently by British Prize Courts, is that a blockade -breaker may, so long as the blockade lasts, be pursued and captured at any time during and up to the conclu- sion of her voyage.
