Appendix to the Memoriul. 57 



Q, You thought it strange that he did not seize her? A. I 

 thought that he had little wind, and that the schooner had just set, 

 and that he would come around and go down. 



Q. After the nets are set for the school the ends are brought 

 together and they bail out the fish? A. Yes. 



Q. The nets are not anchored, or the ship? A. No. 



Q. Do you know of your own knowledge whether the net was 

 set to the south or east of the Gerring? A. I don't know where 

 it had been set. 



Q. Was the net to the south of the vessel or inshore? A. 

 She was lying with her head to the south and the net was on 

 the port side. That would be to the east of her. 



Q. When you told him that he was fishing within the three- 

 mile limit, at the time did you see any other vessel there getting 

 under way? A. No. I saw a vessel to the westward of us. 



Q. Was she under way? A. Yes. 



Q. She was going to the westward ? A. She was offshore. 



Q. You said that his chart was no good, — why? A. It was 

 old and very much defaced, and on a small scale. He pronounced 

 it no good himself. 



Q. Have you had experience with American charts? A. 

 Yes. 



Q. Have you found them correct? A. Yes, they have some 

 good charts, but the material is not so good as the British. 



Q. There was a dispute between the captain of the Gerring 

 and yourself as to whether he was fishing within the three-mile 

 limit; he claimed that he was not? A. No, I don't think so. 



Q. Did he not claim that the Vigilant was going up and 

 down the line? A. He did. 



Q. Did he not say that the captain of the Haskins asked 

 the captain of the Vigilant if they were outside? A. He told me 

 that he spoke the Vigilant himself. 



Q. Did he not say that he heard the captain of the Vigilant 

 tell the captain of the Haskins that he was outside? A. I don't 

 think so. 



Q. Did he tell you that the captain of the Vigilant told him 

 that he was all right? A. Yes. 



Q. Did he say that he was outside the Vigilant when he set? 

 A. No, he said that he set the net after speaking the Vigilant.
