Detectives who were sent to investi-

ada, early last winter with n fleet OF
eighty vessels, which were passing
through Canadian waters on their way
to the great lakes. The whole fleet was
caught in the ice, and there 1t had TO
remain throughout the winter. While
the vessels were locked up in the Ice
the company which owned them went
into liquidation, and a receiver was
appointed, who finally sold the entire
feet, the Helvetia going to Cleveland
syndicate Crews and captains OF all
the ships were paid off, with the ex-
ception Of Captain Marks, who says
that he was told his account was not in
shape and would be got ready as soon
as possible. and that then he would
receive the money.
Captain Marks crew left for their
homes. His wife, who had been cook,
remained with her husband, and weeks
went by without the agent returning
to pay the captain his money. He went
to see the United States vice consul,
who said he did not see that he could
do anything under the circumstances.
CAPTAIN Marks then engaged n local
crew. his son having arrived, kept on
living on the vessel and awaited de-
velopmentsN The syndicate paid for
provisions fer Marks and his wife, but
declared that they were not RESPONSE
BILE for any salaries.
Until his salary was paid Captain
Marks was determined not to leave.
The owners sent Captain Packer and n
crew Of five men to take charge of the
Helvetia. Packer explained his mis-
sion. Very emphatically Marks de-
clared that he would stay where lie
was until he got his money.
Captain Packer telegraphed to Cleve-
land for orders. He was told to lay
the matter before the United States
vice consul, Mr.. German. Mr.. German
put the matter to the Washington au-
thorities. He was directed to instruct
the opposing parties to proceed In nc
cordance with the law.
The Helvetia's new owners then en-
gagged counsel In Montreal and sworc
out warrant for "the arrest of George
Marks. Sr.; George Marks, Jr., and
Jennie Mitchell, wife of George Marks,

treal was sent to take the captain.
