116 APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 
97 With reference to the schooner ‘‘ Alfred Adams,” I am credibly informed she 
was boarded by the American Revenue schooner in Behring’s Sea, her skins 
(1,300 in number) taken out, as well as her arms, and she was told to proceed to 
Sitka. No one being put on board, the captain brought his vessel down here. 
No orders whatever have ever been received here with regard to the release of the 
schooners seized last year, which are now, I believe, high and dry at Ounalaska, 
wormeaten and worthless. 
I have, &c. 
(Signed) M. CULME-SEYMOUR.

The Neah Bay schooner ‘‘Lottie’s” northern catch was disposed of the other day, 
and amounted to 700 skins. 
This makes the total catch, so far as could be gleaned yesterday, 19,046 skins by 
British vessels, and 2,539 skins disposed of by American schooners. 
The catch off the west coast by the Indians and sold to store-keepers was 500. 
The total number of skins bronght into port for this season will represent in dol- 
lars, at 6 dol. 50 c. per skin, the handsome sum of 140,302 dol. 50 ¢.
