Seized in Behring Sea Black Diamond Captured by Rush
The revenue cutter Richard Rush captured the British sealer Black Diamond with 195 sealskins in Behring Sea after boarding July 11. Captain Shepard forced entry to seize papers, while the crew claimed orders to ignore pursuit. The Black Diamond’s captain said he would not surrender without adequate force. Trumph was boarded later with no arrest. Skins were seized in the Pacific, not Behring Sea.
