"I hope that if and when this vessel reaches Palestine . . . the Government will run both Master and crew in and bring them rapidly to trial . . . if some of the Masters and crews of illegal immigrant ships were to receive stiff prison sentences for breaking the immigration laws of Palestine, that might be expected to have a healthy deterrent effect on other seamen who will otherwise be recruited for subsequent vessels.""
