When is the on board a vessel found attempting to break a blockade can, however, save his property from condemnation by positive proof that he might well have been and was actually ignorant of the existence of the blockade, and that his goods were in no way bound by the acts of the master of the blockade-running craft1. In accordance with the Anglo-American practice a offence of blockade-running vessel is confiscable not only when blockade- captured on the outward voyage to, or in the attempt deposited? to enter or depart from, the blockaded port, but also if running she be subsequently taken at any point on the same voyage, provided the blockade be at the time of her capture still in existence3. Continental authorities, however, hold the offence of the blockade-runner, like that of the contraband trader, deposited at the zenith of his success, and acquit the vessel, which has committed a breach of blockade, of all consequent liability, when once she has on her home voyage escaped the pursuit of the blockading squadron. 1 The "Mercurius," 1 C.
