TRAWLER IN TROUBLE.
| GERMAN GUJuBOAi S JUNTERFERENCE. AN UNPARALLELED PROCEDURE. Received 27, 0.10 p.m. London, August 27. The Grimsby trawler Tauraus was fined £la at Flensburg aad the trawl ca.ich confiscated for alleged fishling within the German three-mile limit The Tauraus' skipper was so positive that he was outside the limit that he went to the expense of briefing a leading German advocate. The commamier of the gunboat had declined to listen to his remonstrances or examine proof that the skipper was right by ibearings and chart. Mr. Dougherty, member for the district, intends to raise the whole question in Parliament. It is alleged at Grimsiby that when the arrest was made the vessel was stripped of everything moveable connected with fishing operations, an unparalleled procedure involving Wie owners in a loss of £2OO. Other trawlers were molested nine miles from the coast. There is a feeling at Grimsby that a British cruiser ought to be sent to protect- the trawlers.
