In the spring of a certain year, not far from the close of the
nineteenth century, when the political relations between the United
States and Great Britain became so strained that careful observers
on both sides of the Atlantic were forced to the belief that a
serious break in these relations might be looked for at any time,
the fishing schooner Eliza Drum sailed from a port in Maine for the
banks of Newfoundland. It was in this year that a new system of
protection for American fishing vessels had been adopted in
Washington. Every fleet of these vessels was accompanied by one or
more United States cruisers, which remained on the fishing grounds,
not only for the purpose of warning American craft who might
approach too near the three-mile limit, but also to overlook the
action of the British naval vessels on the coast, and to interfere,
at least by protest, with such seizures of American fishing boats
as might appear to be unjust. In the opinion of all persons of
sober judgment, there was nothing in the condition of affairs at
this time so dangerous to the peace of the two countries as the
presence of these American cruisers in the fishing waters.
