and the person is found within the jurisdiction of the Court in the Islands which would have had jurisdiction in relation to the offence if it had been committed on board a Cayman Islands ship within the limits of its ordinary jurisdiction to try the offence, the Court shall have jurisdiction to try the offence as if it had been so committed.
