court touching any of the matters then under inquiry, but no officer or chief petty officer or sailor or
other person shall be obliged to give any evidence which may tend to criminate himself :

the trial of such offender or offenders.
185. Pay of crews of ships lost or taken. When any naval ship or naval vessel is wrecked, lost or
otherwise destroyed, or taken by the enemy, if it appears from the sentence of a courtmartial that the
crew of such ship or vessel did, in the case of ship or vessel wrecked or lost, their utmost to save her
or get her off, and in the case of such ship or vessel taken by the enemy did their utmost to defend
themselves, and that they have, since the wreck, destruction, loss or capture of such ship or vessel,
behaved themselves well, and been obedient to their officers, then all the pay of such crews, or of

lawful for such officer to order the surviving officers and crew of the wrecked, lost or destroyed ship
to join any other ship under his command, or to distribute them among the other ships under his
command, if more than one, and such officer shall, until he meetswith some other officer senior to
himself, have the same power and authority in all respects as if his ship had not been wrecked, lost or
destroyed.]
