768 APPENDIX TO BEITISH CASE. 



38. Naiad (schooner). Lubec, Me.; Walter Kennedy, master. Presented fron- 



tier license (heretofore acceptable) on arriving at St. George, N. B., but 

 collector would not recognise same; was compelled to return to Eastport 

 and clear under register before being allowed to purchase herring, thus 

 losing one trip. (From statements of Walter Kennedy, master, Lubec, 

 Me.) 



39. Louisa A. Grout (schooner). Provincetown, Mass.; Joseph Hatch, jr., mas- 



ter. Took permit to touch and trade; arrived at St. Peter's, Cape Breton, 

 in afternoon of May 19, 1886 ; entered and cleared according to law ; was 

 obliged to take inexperienced men at their own prices to complete fishing 

 crew, to get to sea before the arrival of a seizing officer who had started 

 from Straits of Canso at 5 o'clock same afternoon in search of vessel, 

 having been advised by telegraph of the shipping of men. (From state- 

 ments of Joseph Hatch, jr., owner and master, Provincetown, Mass.)

41. Florine F. Nickerson (schooner). Chatham, Mass.; Nathaniel E. Eldridge, 



master. Engaged fishermen for vessel at Liverpool, Nova Scotia, but 

 action of Canadian Government necessitated the paying of their trans- 

 portation to the United States and loss of time to vessel while awaiting 

 their arrival; otherwise would have called for them on way to fishing- 

 grounds. Returning, touched at Liverpool, but immediately on anchoring, 

 Canadian officials came aboard and refused permission for men to go 

 ashore. Captain at once signified his intention of immediately proceeding 

 on passage, but officer prevented his departure until he had reported at
