THEY WERE IN AM uIHCAN WATERS. 1gry — Canadian Tou'n Eastport Boatmen A) Fishermen Dare Not Enter the to Sell Their Fish—The captain 0‘ “‘° Dream Practices Deception. EASTPORT, Me, July lag—The seizure of seven American fishing boats in this har- b01‘ by the Dominion (.‘l'lllSCl‘Di‘l‘alD Thurs- day. has caused great excitement and 1n- dignation here. The crews of the boats were landed here and the boats were towed to St. Andrews, N. B. _ The fishermen claim that they were fish- ing in American waters when captured and they charge the Dominion cu tier with . an act of piracy. The fishing ground, which has been frequented by fishermen from both sides the line during the pa§t fortnight, is locally known as Cochrahs Ledge, and is located about a half 111119 lrom our shore just oil the town. It is extremely hard to tell JUST: where the boundary line in Eastport Harbor 15. The harbor is three miles long and from a. mile to a mile and half wide. On the W951“: side is the town of Eastport, Me, and on the east side is Compobello, N. B. . The fog was thick Thursday 11101711112 and the Dominion cutter came suddenly upon the hunts while they were anchored on the fishing grounds. Car-id’rult, of the Dream, entrapped the occupants of the American boats, among whom was Capt. Holmes, of the Eastport and New York coaster, M. M. Chase. by politely 1E}- viiing them aboard the little slcamer as If to partake 01' hospitality. When the boats were secured alongside he declared thelr crafts mixed. The lish-rmen were dumfounded at first and then Lac anger of the younger lnen knew no bounds. They were on the pomt of throwing the captain of the cruiser overboard and taking charge of the ves- sel, which they could have done easily, as they outnumbered the crew of the Dream, but the remonstrance and persuasam of cooler heads prevailed, and (.‘aptain Pratt was allowed to proceed after land- ing the men about half a mile from town. The affair caused such intense excite- ment among the fishermen here that upon till arrival at the New York Steamship Conan. :x".~ wharf of a New Brunswick boat-bun, who had boasted that he would compax Ill“ Dream to drive the Yankee fishermen from the fishing grounds, more than two hundred men rushed upon the wharf, and Would certainly have mobbed him had it not been for the active exero tions of the whole police force, aided by the Steamship Company’s agent, who quickly ClOSCd access to the lower part 0] the wharf. Such was the feeling of resentment aroused that scores of Canadian fishing boats that regularly come to Eastport after each day’s catch to sell their fish sailed up and down the water-front and along the wharycs, not daring to encoun- tor ihc angry crowd watching. them from the shore, and they were obliged to sa'i for their :onics across the line with tucir fish instead of the usual cash equivae iOlll. Ever since the establishment of the do- minim fishery protection cruiser service t‘n. ~. 0 has been a dispute as to the location of the boundary line in Eastport Harbor, the Dominion authorities claiming that it is much nearer the American than the New Brunswick shore, while Americans othim that it runs through the middle of lln- harbor, an equal distance from each slur e. The aulhority for the opinion held on lhis side is derived largely from a. carefully: prepared chart of the harbor from a survey made in 1847 by Capt. Owen, R. Nuxi‘at one time proprietor of the Is- land of Campbello, N. B.,” which has marked upon it the boundary line running thr-ugh the harbor wlth the statement, “T; e boundary line as fixed by the treaty of1314.” This chart which has been ac- knowledged as authority in the matter both by the State Department at Washing. ton and a. former British Minister, shOws the boundary line crossing the middle of Coc‘lran’s Ledge, the fishing grounds on which the American boats were captured. Evidently Capt. Pratt, of the Dominion cruiser, has assumed authority over too Wide an expanse of waters, and in pretend- ing to decide in a dense fog whether the boats he has captured were a few feet either side the boundary line, when he had neil her head lines nor soundings to judge “by, has been guilty of a grave error, if not . of a more serious offense. BANGOR, Me, July 18.—Congresgman Boulelle, having been notified of the seizure of American fishing boats by the Dominion cruiser Dream in Eastport har— bor. has transmitted the notification to the Secretary of the Treasury with the following request: Will you please advise the State De. partment and take such measures as may be deemed requisite for official ascertain- mont of the facts and the protection of the rights of our people? It looks like an atlempt to annoy and harrass Americans . at a lime when the Maine coast is most lllronged with pleasure-seekers from all par s of the country. WASHINGTON, July 18.——Actin Seer . ‘ of 5 ate Wharton at a late houi-I last Sigh}; ha heard nothing of the reported seizure of a he Eastport fleet by a Canadian steam- or.
