315 CHAPTER XIX. 



DAMAGES. 



With reference to the claim for damaj?es mentioned at p. 12 of the 

 British Case, and the particulars set out in the Schedule thereto, Great 

 Britain will claim, in addition to the amount there stated, the sum of 

 62,847 dol. 12 c, tlie amount of expenses incurred by the Government 

 of Canada in connection with the proceedings before the Supreme 

 Court of the United States, with the view of establishing the illegality 

 of the seizure of the " Sayward"; and the Arbitrators will be asked to 

 find that such expenses were incurred, and should be included in the 

 amount of damages which Great Britain is entitled to claim. The 

 Arbitrators will further be asked to find what catch or catches might 

 har^'e been taken by pelagic sealers in Behring Sea without undue dimi- 

 nution of the seal herds during the pendency of the Arbitration. 



In connection with the latter claim, it will be shown that the Govern- 

 ment of Great Britain have paid to certain Canadian owners of sealing- 

 schooners the sum of 100,234 dollars as compensation for disbursements 

 made by them in contemplation of a voyage into Behring Sea, which 

 had to be abandoned by reason of the enforcement of the modus vivendi 

 of 1891.
