APPENDIX TO COUNTER-CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN.. 671 



2. That on each of said vessels I had more or less to do with skinning 

 the seals, and wonid say that about 60 per cent, on the coast were 

 females, and about 50 per cent, females in Behring Sea. 1 distinguish 

 the male skin from the female by the absence of teats. Any skin I 

 saw teats on I called a female. 



3. That I have never been ashore on the Pribylofif Islands, nor at any 

 other place aloug the coast, except on the west coast of Vancouver 

 Island. I have heard that seals haul out on the Pribyloff Islands, Cop- 

 per Island, and Eobben Island; there may be other i)Iaces, but I don't 

 know anything- about it. 



4. That when on the "Pathfinder" I was part of the season with a 

 good hunter and part with a poor hunter. The good hunter got nearly 

 all the seals he fired at; I am sure he did not sink more than three 

 while I was with him. The poor hunter missed about half of those he 

 fired at; he wounded a few, which escaped; he sunk a few. 



And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the 

 same to be true, and by virtue of "The Act respecting Extra- Judicial 

 Oaths."

Subscribed and declared by the said Niels Bonde before me, a Notary 

 Public duly commissioned, and residing and practising at the city of

 ber, A. D. 1892.

Declaration of Franlc W. Adams, 



Dominion of Canada, 



Province of British Columbia, City of Victoria, 



I, Frank W, Adams, of the city of Victoria, in the Province of British 

 Columbia, merchant, do solemnly declare : 



1. That I am personally acquainted with "Jim," or "Narwassan," a 

 Pachenah Indian, whose declaration is hereto attached, marked (A), 

 and also with one E. M. Greenleaf, who is referred to in the said decla- 

 ration. 



2. That in the month of April 1891 I acted as interpreter between the 

 said Narwassan and the said Greenleaf, when they entered into an 

 agreement under which the said Greenleaf was to act as navigator of 

 the sealing-schooner "Mountain Chief," owned by Narwassan, on a 

 sealing voyage from the west coast to Behring Sea. 



3. That the said schooner did go to Behring Sea on said voyage, and 

 about one month after the said agreement was made I saw Greenleaf 

 back in Victoria, and saw him frequently after that during the summer 

 on the street. 



4. That I know nearly every man who goes sealing from Victoria, 

 and never, to my knowledge, have I known or heard of the said Green- 

 leaf being out sealing. 



5. That, by common reputation, Greenleaf is a smuggler and United 

 States revenue spy combined, and has not any fixed occupation or 

 employment otherwise. 



(>. That I interpreted the statement made by Narwassan in the decla- 

 ration hereto annexed, marked (A), from Chinook into English, and say 

 that the same were truly and correctly interpreted; and that before the 

 said Narwassan made his mark thereto I read over to him and trans-
