Deseronto, where we took Overseer Gault on board and patrolled to Napanee 

 River. Tlie following day left Deseronto and patrolled to Thomson's Point, 

 returning to Belleville in the afternoon. 



On Monday 3rd November, after receiving a letter from the Department, 

 we immediately started for Weller's Bay. On arrival at Presque Isle light, 

 found sea too heavy and had to return to Canal, where we got a horse and 

 drove over to the bay, but found there that the wind blew too hard to do any- 

 thing, so returned to Belleville. The following day patrolled to Napanee, 

 where we seized two half sets of hoop nets in Napanee River and took action 

 against the party and returned to Belleville. ' There was such a gale blowing 

 on Wednesday that we could not go out, so employed the time packing the 

 cylinders. Left on Thursday for Weller's Bay, but could not do anything, 

 as every one knew we were coming. Storm bound at the bay until Saturday, 

 when we were afraid to stay any longer, as the coal was getting short, so 

 left at daylight. Heavy sea broke our port pane of glass. Arrived at Belle- 

 ville at 9.30 a.m., and left again at 12.30 for Kingston. Monday, November 

 10th, being a holidav. did not move out, but on Tuesday patrolled to Belle- 

 ville, calling at the fish houses on the way. Took on the Dominion Inspector 

 at Massaga Point. Notified all fishermen regarding nets. Next day 

 patrolled to Pike Island, as two American hunters were reported to be shoot- 

 ing there, but found they had a license. On Thursday patrolled from Belle- 

 ville to Deseronto, examining every fish house. Next day went to Thom- 

 son's Point, then returned to Belleville, calling at the fish houses and 

 grappled nearly all the way, but found no nets. Left Belleville at 6 a.m. 

 Saturday to see if we could catch any fishermen netting, but saw only one 

 that looked suspicious. Next day patrolled to Deseronto, grappling all' the 

 way. Returned to Belleville, and left again next day for Collins' Bay, 

 but the sea was so heavy we had to lie at anchor till next morning. Left 

 Collins' Bay next morning for .Kingston. Sea too heavy to return, so had 

 to remain at Kingston until Friday, when we patrolled to Belleville, and on 

 Saturday patrolled all over the bay, but could not find any nets, so returned 

 to Belleville, which place we left on Sunday, as the ice was very thick. 

 Went to Deseronto on Monday, and left again on Tuesday for Belleville. 

 Could not go further on account of ice. Left there on Wednesday and 

 patrolled to Adolphustown, returning at 3 p.m.
