APPENDIX TO CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 971 
Four Mountain Pass. We were two days sailing through them. It grieved us very 
much, I can tell you, to sail through seals and couldn’t touch them. 
81. Q. The Four Mountain Pass is about what longitude?—A. ‘‘172 Pass” we 
call it. 
82. Q. But you say there were plenty of seals from the time you were warned up 
to within 40 miles of this pass?—A. Yes; just as thick as where we had left. 
83. Q. Will you state in direct evidence, as though in Court, that, as far as your 
knowledge goes, no Canadian sealer, directly or indirectly, ever raided or attempted 
to raid the seal islands?—A. I have had ample opportunity of learning if such had 
been the case, and I know of none. 
Captain Cox, continuing, said: I didn’t take one ‘‘ bearing” female seal last season 
in Behring’s Sea. I have taken a few which were evidently ‘‘ with milk.” 
84. @. What percentage do you say?—A. There might be 5 per cent. of what I 
took which had had young; there was evidence of having had young; whether they 
had last year or not I do not know.

Sworn before me this 25th day of January, 1892.
