APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. pie. Oy 
6. That upon arrival at Sitka the captain and the mate of the “Carolina” were 
formally charged with having violated the laws of the United States of America 
respecting seal-fishing in the waters of Alaska, but before the day fixed for the hearing 
and trialof said charge Captain Ogilvie disappeared, and was afterwards found dead 
in orabout the neighbourhood of Sitka. The mate, James Blake, was tried, found 
guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of 300 dollars and be imprisoned at Sitka for 
thirty days, and which imprisonment he, James Blake, suffered. 
7. That hereto annexed, marked (A), is a Statement of the articles comprising the 
outfit of the schooner ‘ Carolina” on her departure on said voyage, and all of which 
I verily believe were on board the ‘‘Carolina” at the time of her seizure, excepting 
only what had been consumed in the ordinary course of the voyage, together with 
the value of said articles, also of the amount of premiums paid for insurance on the 
hull, outfit, and cargo of the said ‘‘Carolina” for the said voyage; also of the amount 
of wages paid to the crew and hunters on board the ‘‘Carolina” up to the time of 
such seizure; also of the expenses of the mate and part of the crew in returning 
128 tothe city of Victoria from Ounalaska and Sitka, and also a statement of the 
number of seal-skins on board the *‘ Carolina” at the time of said seizure, and 
the value thereof. 
8. The Exhibit (B) hereto annexed is a Statement of the catch of thirteen sealing- 
vessels in and about the Behring’s Sea during so much of the season of A. D. 1886 as 
they were in Behring’s Sea. The statement is taken fromthe Report of the Inspector 
of Fisheries for the Province of British Columbia for the year 1886, as contained in 
the Report of the Department of Fisheries for Canada at pages 248 and 249, and I 
verily say, from personal knowledge of the facts, that the said Statement is sub- 
stantial, true, and correct. The schooners ‘‘Carolina,” meaning the ‘‘Carolina” 
herein mentioned, and ‘‘Thornton” and ‘*Onward,” were seized on the Ist and 2nd 
Angust in 1886, and their voyages thus broken up; the schooners ‘‘Mary Taylor,” 
“Mountain Chief,” ‘‘ Rustler,” and ‘ Kate” not having been in Behring’s Sea during 
the season of 1886, the catch of these above-named schooners are not included in 
estimating the average catch in Behring’s Sea for that year. On account of the 
seizures made on the Ist and 2nd August as aforesaid, and of the schooner ‘‘ Favorite” 
being ordered out of the sea by the Commander of the said ‘‘ Corwin,” the thirteen 
vessels mentioned in Exhibit (B), with one or two exceptions, left Behring’s Sea, or 
the best sealing-grounds therein, long before the close of the sealing season, and 
thus the average catch as found in Exhibit (B) is fully, as I verily believe, 500 skins 
less than it would have been had they all remained till the end of the season. 
9. That hereto annexed, marked (C) is a Statement of the legal expenses incurred 
at Sitka and elsewhere by reason of the seizure of the ‘‘ Carolina,” and the arrest of 
her captain and mate as aforesaid, and also of the personal expenses connected 
therewith. 
10. That hereto annexed, marked (D), is a Statement of the damages claimed by 
the owner of the ‘‘ Carolina” by reason of her said seizure and detention during the 
years 1886, 1887, and 1888, based upon the average catch of seal-skins per vessel as 
found by Exhibit (B). 
11. The price per skin charged in Exhibits (A) and (D), namely, 7 dollars, was the 
market price at Victoria aforesaid at the close of the season of 1886, and was the 
price which, in the ordinary course of events, would have been realized for said seal- 
skins had not such seizure taken place. 
12. That hereto annexed, marked (FE), is an estimate of the principal sums on 
which interest is claimed, from the Ist day of October, A. D. 1886, on or about which 
date the catch of the “Carolina” would have been realized on had she not been 
seized, and also for the actual outlay by her owner prior to that date, arising by 
reason of the seizure and detention of the ‘‘Carolina,” the arrest of the captain and 
mate, and the expenses of the mate and crew in returning to Victoria from Ounalaska 
and Sitka. 
13. That during the month of October, A. p. 1886, and ever since that time, the 
minimum rate of interest on money for commercial purposes at the city of Victoria 
aforesaid was and now is7 per cent. per annum. 
14. That hereto annexed, marked (IF), is a Statement of the items of the outfit of 
the ‘“ Carolina” when on said voyage and the value thereof, which would have been 
wholly consumed in the ordinary prosecution of a full season’s hunting and fishing 
voyage. 
15. The prices charged for the articles and groups of articles in Exhibit (A), com- 
prising the outfit of the ‘‘ Carolina,” are the market prices of the said articles and 
groups of articles at Victoria at the time of their purchase for the purposes of said 
voyage. 
16. That as to the item, ‘Cash on board and unaccounted for, 500 dollars,” charged 
in Exhibit (A), I am informed by the said William Munsle, and do verily believe, that 
the said sum of 500 dollars was placed on board the ‘‘Carolina” at the time of her 
departure from Victoria as aforesaid, intrusted to the master, James Ogilvie, for use
