[ MEMORANDUM. | 
Complaints having been made by certain French captains of fishing 
vessels at Port-au-Choix, through Captain Humann, chief of the — 
French Naval Division in Newfoundland, that lobster-trawls set by 
your fishermen on certain portions of the coast interfere with their 
fishing operations, I deem it my duty to forbid you in future to set. 
lobster-trawls anywhere north of the first point of rocks at Two Hills 
Point—that is, between the last-named point and Garganelle Cove. 
No lobster-trawls are to be placed in Keppel Harbour—that is, between 
Port Saunders and Keppel Point. Neither are any to be put round 
the shores of Keppel Island or from Hawke Point to Mall Bay. These 
portions of the coast are marked in red ink on the accompanying — 
chart. I rely upon you to carefully fulfil these instructions, so as to 
avoid any pretext for the French to make further complaints. 
This order will hold good during this season, and till an English 
man-of-war visits Port Saunders next season, when circumstances may 
have altered.
