OF AMERICAN AND BRITISH VESSELS. 205 



before set forth, but I do not know what disposition was made of said 

 schooner, but I am advised and believe and therefore allege, that said 

 schooner was repainted and refitted and used by said Eussian Govern- 

 ment, and is now in its possession, and by it used. 



I, as master of said schooner C. H. White, duly protested at the time 

 to the captain of the said war cruiser against the seiz- 

 ure of said vessel, and against all his other acts herein Protest - 

 testified in regard to, and on the 5th day of August, A. D. 1892, 1, as 

 master, duly noted a protest against said seizure and said acts with the 

 governor of Petropaulovsky, and I, as said master, on the 31st day of 

 August, A. D. 1892, duly made a regular marine protest against said 

 seizure to James Gr. Swan, a notary public in and for Port Townsend, 

 State of Washington, United States of America, immediately upon my 

 arrival at said city, and said city being the first place in the United 

 States at which I arrived. 



Lawrence M. Furman. 



Subscribed and sworn to by the said Lawrence M. Furman, known 

 by me to be a credible witness, before me this 3rd day of November,
