"You may allow Russian admiral to embark his sick and wounded officers and men on Russian hospital ship, duly expected, upon their giving parole not to engage in hostilities during the war.
You may also allow them to bring from Shanghai material for repairing vessels other than munitions of war, such as cordage, sail cloth, waste and oil for machinery, etc., but the vessels are still to remain in internment."
