They must stop when called upon to do so, they must submit to the search of the belligerent officers ; and if contraband goods or any suspicious circumstances are found which lead the belligerent to effect a capture, they must submit to be taken into a Prize Court without any resistance. The only legal modification of the liability to search of neutral vessels is the provision in the Hague Convention, No. 11, to the effect that neutral mail-boats ought to be searched only in case of necessity, ...and then with all the consideration and speed possible. Submission is only obligatory where the search is made by a properly authorized man-of-war of the belligerent ; and, as has been pointed out, Great Britain does not recognize enemy merchantmen converted into warships on the high seas as legitimate men-of-war. It will obviously be more expedient, however, for an English neutral vessel not to resist RESISTANCE TO SEARCH. 121 capture by such a belligerent captor, but to prevail upon her own State to make a diplomatic protest against the legality of the seizure and a demand for compensation.
