AKGUMENT OF JOHN S. EWART. 1337 



" In the present instance the political or legal coast line drawn 

 southward from Cape Spencer "- 



Cape Spencer, the Tribunal will find about the centre _ 

 SIR CHARLES FITZPATRICK: Will you repeat that, please? 

 Mr. EWART : They commence at Cape Spencer, which is on the coast 

 line, a little above the 58th degree of latitude. I read : _ 



; In the present instance the political or legal coast line drawn 

 southward from Cape Spencer would cross to the northwestern shore 

 of Chichagof Island " - 



That is a distance of 9 miles - 



" and follow down the western side of that Island and of Baranof 

 Island to Cape Ommaney ; " 



To get that, we have to go on to the next map. You go down 



that Chichagof Island, continue on down Baranof Island to the end 



of it, where it comes to a point on map No. 16 ; I continue reading : 



" at this point it would turn northward for a short distance and then 



cross Chatham Strait " - 



807 Which the members will see coming straight down from 

 the north 



" to the western shore of Kuiu Island, thence again turning south- 

 ward along that shore and along the outlying islets west of Prince 

 of Wales Island,"- 



Now, that brings us out to the Coronation Islands there. The 

 Prince of Wales Island is the very large island outside of which there 

 are a number of smaller ones. And the document says : 



" turning southward along that shore and along the outlying islets 

 west of Prince of Wales Island," 



So that takes us over to Coronation Island, and crosses Iphigenia 

 Bay, 31^ miles to Noyes Island; then it goes over to Baker Island, 

 and then it goes further on to Dall Island that would be 27 miles, 

 and comes on to Cape Muzon. I continue to read from this same 

 p. 32 in the Alaska Case : 



" thence again turning southward along that shore and along the 

 outlying islets west of Prince of Wales Island, the line would round 

 Cape Muzon and proceed eastward to Cape Chacon ; " 



In order to do that, you must make a jump of 14 miles, which is 

 quite easy, after the ones that we have been making. 



" thence following northward along the eastern shore of Prince of 

 Wales Island to Clarence Strait " 



The members of the Tribunal will see Clarence Strait, coming 

 down from the north there 



" it would cross the latter "
