Show AMERICAN SCHOONER CAPTURED Poachers Run Down by Canadians After Warm Race. Vancouver, B. C. The Dominion government cruiser Kestrel arrived in port on Wednesuay, having in charge the American halibut fishing schooner Charles Levi Woodbury, which she captured after firing four rounds from her Nordenfeldt machine guns, and threatening to sink the alleged poaching poach-ing vessel unless she surrendered. Three of the volleys were intended as a warning, but as no attention was paid to them, a fourth was directed at the schooner, which struck and slightly damaged her. The captain of the American vessel did not surrender, sur-render, however, until his schooner was boarded by a force from the cruiser. The action took place Sunday Sun-day afternoon in northern waters, alleged al-leged to be contiguous to Canada. |
