fats, that the wreck must be removed, af
l there was danger that the next gale would
drift it into the channel and so impede
| navigation, a danger which is threatened

| decided to do nothing, but after being
shown the United States law on the sub
ject they said the wreck would be removed
at once. The law imposes $4,000 fine ant
one years imprisonment for it's violation
Orders were given to United States Dis
trict Attorney Mclean of Hartford to mott
