The vessel was libelled in the United States' District Court of Alaska by the District Attorney, the charge formulated being that the vessel was found engaged in killing fur-seals within the limits of Alaska Territory and in the waters thereof, in violation of Section 1956 of the Revised Statutes of the United States.
