there being none of this class of claims in the case of the merchantships." To what extent this statement is incorrect is at once apparent on looking at the United States tables themselves. Moreover, it seems difficult to reconcile the statement that these claims have really been carefully examined on behalf of the United States Government, with the fact of the presentation to the Tribunal of some of the very extravagant claims enumerated in the British Report, such as a claim of $7,000 by a harpooner for personal injuries, which are in no way indicated or described; a claim of $15,000 by the master of the Louisiana, for interruption of business-neither of which claims is to be found verified by any affidavit whatever; a claim of $10,000 by a passenger, for loss of office of consul; a claim by Ebenezer Nye, the master of the Abigail, for more than $17,000, for personal effects, &c.; claims by masters and mates of vessels, (over and above their demands for personal effects,) of $20,000 and $10,000, for the loss of wages, and many other similarly exorbitant claims, which are more specifically referred to in the British Reports. 41 C his information to the British Government regarding the Florida.. his information to the British Government regarding the Shenandoah. his representation to the British Government concerning the Sumter..
