Ciry oF Orrawa, Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada. 
I, James Douglas Warren, of the city of Victoria, in the Province of British Colum- 
bia of the Dominion of Canada, master mariner and ship-owner, do solemnly and 
sincerely declare as follows: 
1. That I am the duly authorized agent, under power of attorney bearing date 
the 25th day of November, a. D. 1887, of James J. Gray, of the said city of Victoria, 
ship-owner, and owner of the hereinafter-mentioned schooner ‘‘Ada,” 
2. That the said schooner ‘‘Ada” is a British vessel of 65 tons, registered at the 
port of Shanghae, and was, at the time of her seizure hereinafter set out, 5 years old. 
3. That on or about the 16th day of June, A. D. 1887, the said schooner ‘‘ Ada” 
cleared at the port of Victoria aforesaid, on and for a full hunting and fishing voy- 
age in the North Pacific Ocean and Behring’s Sea. For said voyage the crew 
162. of the ‘‘Ada” consisted of James Gaudin, master, a mate, and twenty sailors 
and hunters, with two sealing-boats and seven canoes, and fully equipped 
and provisioned for such voyage. : 
4, The ‘‘ Ada” entered Behring’s Sea on or about the 16th day of July, A. vp. 1887, 
and continued therein lawfully pursuing the objects of her voyage until the 25th 
day of August then next following, when, while so lawfully pursuing the objects of 
her voyage in said sea about 15 miles northward from Ounalaska Island, which said 
island was the nearest land, the said schooner was seized by the United States steam- 
ship ‘‘ Bear,” and taken to Illoolook Harbour at said Ounalaska Island, in the United 
States Territory of Alaska, and her voyage completely broken up. 
5. Atthe time of said seizure the ‘‘Ada” had on board 1,876 seal-skins, which upon 
arrival at Illoolook Harbour aforesaid were taken from on board the ‘‘Ada” and 
stored on shore, after which, by order of the United States authorities, the ‘“‘Ada” 
was taken to Sitka, in said Territory of Alaska, together with the master, mate, and 
crew. 
6. That the said ‘‘Ada” arrived at Sitka on the 6th day of September, A. D. 1887, 
and on the 9th day of the said month her master and imate were, without being tried 
for any offence whatever, unconditionally released, but the ‘“‘Ada” kept at Sitka, 
where she still remains. 
7. That hereto annexed, marked ‘‘(A),” is a statement showing the value of the 
‘“‘ Ada” at the time of her said seizure, and the value of her outfit on and for said
