Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fur Seal Arbitration, Vol. 10: Proceedings of the Tribunal of Arbitration, Convened at Paris Under the Treaty Between the United States of America and Great Britain Concluded at Washington February 29, 1892, for the Determination of Questions Between the Two Governments Concerning The In August 1886, without any previous protest or warning, the Government of the United States seized the British schooners "Carolena," "Onward," and "Thornton" in Behring Sea, which were then engaged in pelagic sealing there. The "Carolena" was seized in latitude 55° 50´ north, longitude 168° 53´ west; the "Onward" in latitude 54° 52´ north, longitude 167° 55´ west, and the "Thornton" in about the same latitude and longitude as the "Carolena." These schooners were, at the time of their respective seizures, at a distance of more than GO miles from the nearest land, St. George and Unalaska Islands. After capture they were taken by the United States revenue-cutter "Corwin" to Unalaska. They were tried before Judge Dawson, of the United States District Court of Sitka, and the masters and mates of the vessels were lined in a considerable sum, and, in addition, sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The vessels, meanwhile, were detained. On receipt of intelligence of these seizures, Sir L. S. Sackville West, British Minister at Washington, at once made inquiries; and by the instructions of Her Majesty´s Government, on the 21st October, 1886, he entered a formal protest against these seizures of British vessels. Mr. Bayard, the Secretary of State, wrote, on the 3rd February, 1887, to Sir L. S. Sackville West, announcing the discharge of the vessels, and the release of all persons under arrest, adding that this order was issued "without conclusion of any questions which may be found to be involved in these cases of seizure." The men in custody were released under circumstances of great hardship, being turned adrift, without means, in a place many hundreds of miles from their homes. On the 12th April, 1887, Mr. Bayard wrote that Regulations and Instructions to Government vessels were being framed, and that he would, at the earliest possible date, communicate with Sir L. West; but without any such communication being made fresh seizures took place in July and August of 1887, and renewed protest was made by Great Britain.
