ferring their load to a boat. Before
getting off the wagon the horse got
frightened at another team, and com
menced backing. The 81 part Of the
wagon went off the wharf first, throw
the horse, men and wagon backward
into the river. Thomas came to the
surface, and grisped "a bottom board,
and fioated off, and he WAS rescued Il
few minutes afterward. John, how
ever, was not so fortunate, as when
lie came to the surface, he seemed daz-
ed, and did not grasp at a rope thrown
to him by people on the wharf. He
1901 sank, and did not come to the sur
face again. His body was secured a
short time after by w. "A. Carpenter

not allow our vessels to enter their

SO they can go out for another catch.
The British claim that "three
miles from the coast" means three
miles from the furthest pc mt of the
coast; that is, they say that it means
a line drawn three miles off the head
lands. Our fishermen claim that it
means line drawn along the shape
of the coast.
So there the dispute now stands,
Some time ago Congress gave the
President power to retaliate, by de-
nying Canadian vessels the privileges
of our ports. But this he has not
done. He has, however, appointed
