left unsolved.

CAPTURE Of
SCH. WOODBURY.
CANADIAN CRUISER FIRED FOUR
ROUNDS AT FORMER HONOLULU
VESSEL.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 21.-For
the first time since the Canadian fish
cry cruiser service has attempted to
interfere with American halibut fish
ing in northern waters alleged to be
contiguous to Canada, the dominion
government cruiser Kestrel last Sum
day afternoon got in real action with
its big Nordenfeldt machine gun.
Four rounds were fired at the Seat
tie halibut fishing schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury.. Five bullets tore
through the atmosphere in the direc-
ton of the Woodbury. each time as the
vessels headed at full speed from the
west coast of Vancouver island and
pointed toward the middle of the Pa
cific ocean.
Three of the rounds were merely
directed to call attention to the COM
mand to heave to which had been
issued to the American schooner. But
the last series of shots meant bust
ness. The gun was pointed at the fish
boat, which was then at distance of
about 200 yards and still making for
the open sea as rapidly as possible.
The bullets, aimed high, ripped one
ort wo sails knocked splinters off the
mainmast. Capt. Sinclair feared that
he would be sunk right there if he did
not stop. At the same moment the
second gun of the Kestrel was swung
across its deck to get into range OF
the fishing boat.
Immediately the Woodbury's en-
gines were stopped and its sails CASH
ed by British bullets, were hauled
down. But even then the American
captain would not Willingly surren-
der. He declined to tie a hawser
aboard his vessel, but a few minutes
later an officer and three men from
the Kestrel boarded his vessel and
took charge.
Captain Newcomb of the Kestrel de-
clares that if he ever had a clear case
against an American vessel this is the
one. Early Sunday afternoon the Kes-
trel was steaming north from Quat-
sino sound on the west coast, when
| Captain Newcomb espied an American
vessel fishing between East and West
Haycock islands. These islands lie
about 10 miles off Cape Scott, the nor
thernmost point of Vancouver island
