It is not only the right of an agent vested with general authority to assume extraordinary powers where an emergency arises, and action is necessary to protect the interest of the principal, but it is also a duty for him to do acts not otherwise contemplated. The unusual authority however, ends with the emergency. The authority would be implied in the representative in case of accident, disaster, or calamity, where the principal is not at hand, and his interests require protection.23
