had been hurled into sudden and
dreadful death; that the ship in which
we sailed had perchance made widows
of sleeping wives, had made children
fatherless. and that ruin and beggary
and sorrow had been churned up out
of the deep by our unsparing bows.
Our voyage had begun inauspicious-

their places of employment.
Everything went well until the Atlantic
WAS nearing the New York shore aud about
entering her slip, which adjoins that Ofthe
Staten Island Ferry Company. Abut the
same time the NOrthfield was leaving her
slip for Staten Island. The boats crashed
together, causing the greatest excitement
among the passengers, many Ofwhom were
women. The latter filled the air with
shrieks, and some of them swoOned away,
adding to the general confusion. The At
lantic had her guard rails torn of and her
bow stove in, while the NOrthheld suffered
the loss OF her foremost rudder, she being
a dOuble-ender. The damage was not so
serious but what tie boats continued on

THE QUEEN APPROVES
The Amendment to the Fishery Act-More
Freedom for Canada.

OTTAWA, ONT, December 24.-The
Government has received notice that Her
Majesty has aSsentcd to the amendment
to the Canadian fisheries act passed at the
last session and which was reserved by the
Governor General for the assent of the i'm
perial authorities. 1t will be remembered
that when the Canadian cruisers COM
menced seizing American fishing vessels
for purchasing bait and ice, the question
of the legality of such proceedings under
the Canadian fisheries act was raised, and
it was found that the act did not sufficient
ly cover such cases, inasmuch as it did not
provide the penalty of confscation. Prose
cutiOns have therefore been made under
the customs act for infringement OF Gus
toms regulations in cases Of neglect to en-
ter and similar OtfenSeS, and fines imposed.
Last session Minister Foster introduced
and passed an act to amend the fisheries
act, in which it is provided that il shall
not be legal for fishing vessels to enter
Canadian ports for any other purposes than
those expressly stipulated in the treaty OF
1s1S-that is, for shelter, for repairs, iOr
obtaining food, or for obtaining water. -
This act was intended to provide the pen
atty of contiscation for purchasing bait or
ice, and will give the Canadian Govern
ment much more freedom of action in
dealing with trespaSsing fishing vessels
This is the act of which notice of assent
has been received.
