DRAW, ONT, July 22.-Sone weeks ago
one OF tine Canadian cruisers seized the
American fishing schooner Giles, for an
alleged infraction of the fishing regula-
tons, and a fine of $500 and costs was
paid TO the Dominion government. The
commander of the cutter claimed that the
Giles was within the three-Inile limit off
the Nova Scotia coast, he having boarded
and seized the vessel during the absence of
the captain.
When the latter returned he requested
the commander of the cruiser to locate the
position of his vessel when seized, upon
the captains own chart, which the COM
mander OF the cruiser did after taking
bearings from the headlines. The location,
as marked by the commander of the
cruiser upon the chart now in the posses
sion of the schooner, placed the Giles out
side the three-mile limit, and the attention
of the United States government is to be
at once called to this fact, in the hope that
the fine will be refunded.
