the upper deck, for the use of such passengers, a house over the passageway
leading to the apartment allotted to such passengers below deck, firmly

shall have for their use on deck, housed and conveniently arranged, at least
one camboose or cooking range, the dimensions of which shall be equal to
four feet long and one foot six inches wide for every two hundred
passengers; and provisions shall be made, in the manner aforesaid in this
ratio for a greater or less number of passengers: Provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall take away the right to make such arrangements
for cooking between decks, if that shall be deemed desirable.

board, for the use of such passengers, at the time of leaving the last port
whence such vessel shall sail, well secured under deck, for each passenger,
at least fifteen pounds of good navy bread, ten pounds of rice, ten pounds
of oatmeal, ten pounds of wheat flour, ten pounds of peas and beans, thirty-
five pounds of potatoes, one pint of vinegar, sixty gallons of fresh water,
ten pounds of salted pork, free of bone, all to be of good quality, and a

oatmeal, wheat flour or peas and beans cannot be procured, of good quality
and on reasonable terms, the quantity of either or any of the other last-
named articles may be increased and substituted therefor; and in case
potatoes cannot be procured on reasonable terms, one pound of either of said
articles maybe substituted in lieu of five pounds of potatoes; and the

part, of the aforesaid provisions weekly, commencing on the day of sailing,

provisions of this act so far as regards food, and provided further, That
any passenger may also, with the consent of the captain, furnish for himself
an equivalent for the articles of food required in other and different
articles: and if, without waste or neglect on the part of the passenger, or
inevitable accident, they prove insufficient, and the captain shall furnish
comfortable food to such passengers during the residue of the voyage, this,
in regard to food, shall also be a compliance with the terms of this act.

authorized to maintain good discipline, and such habits of cleanliness among
such passengers, as will tend to the preservation and promotion of health,;
and to that end, he shall cause such regulations as he may adopt for this
purpose to be posted up, before sailing, on board such vessel, in a place
accessible to such passengers, and stall keep the same so posted up during
the voyage; and it is hereby made the duty of said captain to cause the
apartment occupied by such passengers to be kept, at all times, in a clean
healthy state, and the owners of every such vessel so employed are required

chloride of lime, or some other equally efficient disinfecting agent, and
also at such other times as said captain may deem necessary.

employed, which shall not be provided with the house or houses over the
passageways, as prescribed in the first section of this act; or with
ventilators, as proscribed in the second section of this act; or with the

dollars for each and every neglect or violation of any of the provisions of

second, third and fifth sections of this act have been complied with in
respect to such vessel; and if such report shall state such compliance, and
be approved by such collector, it shall be deemed and held as conclusive
evidence thereof.

act, in such manner as he may deem proper.
