766 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



10. Gertrude Summers (schooner), Wellfleet, Mass.; N. S. Snow, master. Re- 



fused privilege of purchasing provisions, which resulted in injury to 

 voyage. Found harbour regulations uncertain. Sometimes could remain 

 in port twenty-four hours, again was ordered out in three hours. (From 

 statements of N. S. Snow, owner and master, Wellfleet, Mass.) 



11. Charles R. Washington (schooner), Wellfleet, Mass.; Jesse S. Snow, master. 



Master was informed by collector at Ship Harbour, C. B., that if he 

 bought provisions, even if actually necessary, he would be subject to a 

 fine of $400 for each offence. Refused permission by the collector at 

 Souris, P. E. I., to buy provisions, and was compelled to return home 

 September 10, before close of fishing season. Was obliged to report at 

 custom-house every time he entered a harbour, even if only for shelter. 

 Found no regularity in the amount of fees demanded, this being appar- 

 ently at the option of the collector. (From statements of Jesse S. Snow, 

 owner and master, Wellfleet, Mass.) 



12. John M. Ball (schooner), Proviucetown, Mass.; N. W. Freeman, master.

 wood and water, in same port. (From statements of N. W. Freeman,

 he bought fish, which were plenty at the time, the vessel would be seized. 

 Returned to Eastport, losing about a week, which resulted in consider- 

 able loss to owner and crew. (From statements of Guilford Mitchell, 

 owner, Eastport, Me.)
