Webster’s principle may invite piracy if visits under flag are unrestricted, so exceptions must be judged case by case. War would be monstrous. treaty settlement and prisoner rights become decisive.

Shoes for camels in the Gobi desert
A traveler from Fekin to Siberia describes camel foot care in the Gobi. When a camel’s feet blister, Mongol drivers restrain and shoe the animal with leather from its own thick skin. Leather shoes are sewn on with a needle to cover the tender pads, enabling the march to continue. The process is repeated as needed, though camels resist shoeing.
