The Kestrel has been patrolling the west coast of Vancouver island and the Scot group of islauds. At the time the Kestrel was not expecting to run acriws a fishing schooner within the limits.

The Kestrel was bound across the Queen Charlotte islands. "We did not attempt to hit the schooner," said Officer Ledwell, in speaking of the capture this morning. "We merely fired near her to warn her to stop. When we asked Capt. St.

Claire whal he was doing inside the fishing limits, lie saiil he didn't know he was inside, but guessed that his boats had drifted in with the tide. However, he was far inside, as the distance between the Haycock is only five miles, and that is where we saw him. After we boarded his vessel, he made no resistance, but compelled us to tow him in."
