discharge of the cargo, the days for discharging shall not count during the continuance of such strike or lock-out.
A strike of the receiver's men only shall not exonerate him from any demurrage for which he may be liable under
this charter if by the use of reasonable diligence he could have obtained other suitable labour, and in case of any delay
by reason of the before-mentioned causes, no claim for damages shall be made by the receivers of the cargo, the
owners of the ship, or by any other party under this Charter.

causes other than those above excepted, and all the above exceptions are conditional on the Vessel being seaworthy

ship's husband or manager.
