Offer to buy out British Columbia sealers
News from Victoria reports the representative of the British Columbia sealing fleet has offered to sell the schooners at 125 dollars per ton. The fleet consists of 41 vessels totaling about 2,000 tons, with an estimated value near 57,000 dollars, and a proposed 200,000 dollar settlement discussed earlier in Quebec. The United States would buy the vessels at 125 dollars per ton but not take title, with payments tied to halting pelagic sealing.
