American Fisherman on Lake
Erie Filled With Shot
From Guns Of the Canadian Revenue
Cutter Petrol.
Some 20 Shots Fired-One Man Hurt
American Escapes.

Erie, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE Silver Spray,
port, this afternoon, in a badly shat
tered condition, due to an encounter
in mid-lake, about noon, with the Ca
madam cutter Petrol.
The Canadian authorities for years
have had trouble with American fish
ermen who were poaching on their side
of the lake and the Petrol is kept con-
stantly on the lookout for them.
About noon, she came upon the Sill
Yer Spray on the Canadian side of the
lake and at once ordered Capt. Chau
to stop. The Petrol, it is said, at
tempted to ram the American boat be-
fore she could comply with the order.
Capt. Chau, remembering the fate of
several other boats from this side,
which had been captured and confis-
| Gated, decided to try to escape and
started ahead at full speed.
The captain of the Petrol, when he
saw that the Silver Spray was trying
to get away. opened fire with all the
guns he had on board and before he
ceased firing some 20 shots had struck
her.
One passed through the smokestack
into the pilot house in which Chau
stood at the wheel and two more struck
the pilot house, one of which camewith-
| in a few inches of him, scattering splin-
| ters around his head.
The chase was kept up for some time,
but Capt. Chau finally succeeded in
getting across the dividing line and the
| Petrol gave up the pursuit.
Capt. Chau will report the affair to
the State department at Washington,
as he says he was only looking for some
Of his nets Which had drfted from this
side toward the Canadian shore.
| The only man injured on the Silver
| Spray was Frederick Culver. who was
hit in the leg by shot. He is now in
| the hospital. The fishermen say the
Petrol used her small deck cannon.

greater composure. He did not seem
to know the meaning of peril when
duty called him to risk his iifo. At one
time saw the general escape death by
very slight margin. We were break

guns shrieked over our heads. A shell
passed just over the general. not miss

inches. and struck the ground about
thirty feet away. Without showing
the slightest nervousness he called to
me to get the shell, saying, Lets

the shell, which was six pound spher-
