136 CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 



prices of the said artieles uiid groups of ai'ticles at Yietoria at tlie time 

 of their purchase for the purposes of said voyage. 



IG. That as to the iteui, "Oasli on board aud unaccounted for, 500 

 dollars/' charged in Exhibit (A), I am informed by the said William 

 Munsle, and do verily believe, that the said sum of 500 dollars was 

 placed on board the "Carolena" at the time of her departure from Vic- 

 toria as aforesaid, intrusted to the master, James Ogilvie, for use in 

 cases of emergency or unforeseen expenditures, and I verily believe 

 that said sum of 500 dollars was on board the "Carolena" at the time 

 of her seizure; but owing to the death of Captain Ogilvie at Sitka, it 

 was not known by the said owner what became of the said sum of 500 

 dollars. 



17. That at tlie tnne ot the seizure of the '"Carolena" she was in 

 good order and condition, having been thoroughly overhauled before 

 starting out on said voyage, and not having sustained any damage 

 beyond ordinary wear and tear during said voyage up to the time of 

 her seizure. 



18. That the value placed on the "Carolena," namely, 4,000 dolhirs, 

 is a fair and reasonable valuation of the said schooner, and from my 

 personal knowledge of the "Carolena," and the value of vessels of her 

 class at Victoria, I verily believe that she could not be replaced by a 

 vessel in all res])ects as good and as well adapted to the purposes for 

 which she wa's used for a less sum than 4,(»00 dollars. 



19. That on or about the 13th day of July last ]>ast I was at Ouna- 

 laska aforesaid, and saw and was on board of the said schooner "Car- 

 olena." She was then lying anchored in the harbor at Ounalaska, 

 stripi)ed of all her outfit and running gear. Her standing rigging was 

 much weather-beaten, her iron work much rusted, her deck seams in a 

 bad state, and I verily believe, from the condition in which the " Caro- 

 lena" then was, and in view of the fact that she nuist remain so exposed 

 until least next May (A. D. 1888), it will cost at least 4,000 dollars to put 

 her in as good repair and condition as when seized and return her to 

 Victoria. To be taken to Victoria under ordinary circumstances would 

 alone cost between 2,500 and 3,000 dollars. 



20. That the "Carolena" at the time of her seizure was insured in 

 the California Insurance Company for the sum of 2,500 dollars on her 

 hull, and in the sum of 1,(»00 dollars on her outfit and cargo. 



21. That the estimated h)ss of 5,0i)0 dollars for each of tiie years 1887 

 and 1888 by reason of the seizure and detention of tlie " Carolena" as 

 aforesaid is based upon an average catch of 2,380 seal-skins for each of 

 the said years, at 5i dollars per skin, Avliich was the market value per 

 skin at Victoria at the close of the season of 1887, after deducting 

 therefrom the cost of outfit and wages, based on the " Carolena's" 

 voyage of A. D. 1880. 



Aud I, James Douglas Warren, aforesaid, make this solemn declara- 

 tion, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtne of 

 "The Act respecting Extra-Judicial Oaths." 



J. D. Warken. 



Declared and affirmed before me at the city of Ottawa, in the county 

 of Carleton, in tlie rrovince of Ontario, tliis 28th day of NoAember, 

 A. D. 1887, and certilied under my official seal.
