96. Persons engaged under agreements in the West 
Indies or Asia for certain subordinate posts in West 
Africa are employed on special terms as to leave of 
absence, under which, after three consecutive years of 
residential service, they may be granted vacation 
leave with full pay for two calendar months plus the 
time necessarily taken on the journey to England, and 
(if they are returning to West Africa) return leave 
with full pay for two calendar months plus the time 
necessarily taken on the journey from England, with 
free passages to and from their homes. Such persons 
may also be granted the same vacation for the purpose 
of relaxation from business as is allowed to native 
officials of similar grade, but this annual vacation must 
not be continuous with the vacation leave or return 
leave provided for in their agreements. 
97. The foregoing Regulations (85 to 96) do not 
apply to officers who are natives of West Africa. All 
such officers are subject to the general regulations as 
to leave of absence and passages, with the exception 
that they are mot entitled to any pay under Regula- 
tion 53 when acting in the place of a European officer. 
They will, however, in lieu of such pay, draw the 
duty allowance when acting in any office to which a 
duty allowance is attached ; and when they are acting 
for a European officer and not receiving any duty 
allowance, the Governor may, if he thinks fit, award 
b gratuity in respect of such acting service, subject 
to the approval of the Secretary of State. On the 
other hand, the Regulations numbered 112 to 114, 
116 to 119, 122, 123; 126 to 1928 do not apply to 
Furopean officers.
