    The words ``captor or'' between ``any'' and ``claimant'' are omitted 
because the Act of March 3, 1899, ch. 413, Sec. 13, 30 Stat. 1007, 
repealed all laws authorizing the distribution of prize proceeds to 
captors. These words were apparently carried over inadvertently to 
Sec. 38 of the 1909 Act from the source of that section, namely R.S. 
5441.
    The section is worded in the style of Title 18, U.S. Code.
