Raymond and QO'Connor in a protest to Sandwich police charged the American Gunboat had opened fire upon them with a machine gun, shattering the wind- shield of their cruiser, Gobel's story follows: "We hailed the boat in question and signalled to it with our searchlight, but it did not stop. It may be that it did not see us or think we were signalling to them, but we chased it about one mile and a half. Fnally we fire blank shells from our one-pounder as a further warning and the boat heaved to and we came along side. "That is when the windshield of their boat was smashed. It struck a fender of our cutter when a swell carried it against us.. They were not damaged 'at all by any gun fife, as we would not use live shells when firing in that direction. "We accordingly boarded the boat and searched it for contrabrand as we would any other boat. Under similar circumstances. I didn't think, after the investigation that the in- cident was worth making a 'report over. Gobel insisted that the chase and capture took place. within American waters. Raymond and O'Connor in their protest to Sandwich police had admitted they could not be definite on that score. Gobel said it would be "unreason- able" for his crew to use live shells when firing toward Canadian waters.
