PROTOCOL OF A CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON, MARCH 10, 1873, RESPECTING THE NORTHWEST WATER-BOUNDARY.

Whereas it was provided by the First Article of the Treaty between the United States of America and Great Britain, signed at Washington on the 15th of June, 1846, as follows:

"ARTICLE I."

"From the point of the 49th Parallel of North Latitude, where the Boundary laid "down in existing Treaties and Conventions between the United States and Great "Britain terminates, the line of Boundary between the territories of the United "States and those of Her Britannic Majesty shall be continued westward along the "said 49th parallel of North Latitude, to the middle of the channel which separates "the continent from Vancouvers Island; and thence southerly through the middle

"of the said channel, and of Fuca's Straits, to the Pacific Ocean; provided, however, "that the navigation of the whole of the said channel and straits, south of the 49th "parallel of North Latitude, remain free and open to both parties.

And whereas it was provided by the XXXIV Article of the Treaty between the United States of America and Great Britain, signed at Washington on the 8th of May. 1871, as follows:

"ARTICLE XXXIV.”

"Whereas it was stipulated by Article I of the Treaty concluded at Washington, on the 15th of June 1846, between the United States and Her Britannic Majesty, that the line of boundary between the territories of the United States and those of "Her Britannic Majesty, from the point on the 49th parallel of North Latitude up to "which it had already been ascertained, should be continued westward along the "said parallel of North Latitude to the middle of the channel which separates the "continent from Vancouvers Island, and thence southerly, through the middle of "the said channel and of Fuca Straits to the Pacific Ocean-and whereas the Com"missioners appointed by the two High Contracting Parties to determine that por"tion of the Boundary which runs southerly through the middle of the channel "aforesaid were unable to agree upon the same; and whereas the Government of Her "Britannic Majesty claims that such boundary line should under the terms of the "Treaty above recited, be run through the Rosario Straits, and the Government of "the United States claims that it should be run through the Canal de Haro, it is agreed that the respective claims of the Government of the United States, and of "the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, shall be submitted to the arbitration "and award of His Majesty, the Emperor of Germany who having regard to the "above mentioned Article of the said Treaty, shall decide thereupon, finally and "without appeal, which of those claims is most in accordance with the true inter"pretation of the treaty of June 15th 1846."

Kellett R. N. "1847, and G. H. Richards R. N. 1858-1862" and having on examination agreed that the lines so traced out and marked on the respective charts are identical, they have severally signed the said charts on behalf of their respective Governments, two copies thereof to be retained by the Government of the United States, and two copies thereof to be retained by the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, to serve with the "definition of the Boundary line," attached hereto, showing the general bearings of the line of Boundary as laid down on the charts, as a perpetual record of agreement between the two Governments in the matter of the line of Boundary between their respective dominions under the First Article of the Treaty concluded at Washington on the 15th of June 1846.

In witness whereof, the undersigned have signed this Protocol and have hereunto affixed their seals.

Done in duplicate at Washington, this tenth day of March in the year 1873.

DEFINITION OF THE BOUNDARY LINE.

The Chart upon which the Boundary Line between the British and United States Possessions is laid down, is entitled "North America, West Coast, Strait of Juan de 'Fuca and the channels between the Continent and Vancouver Id, showing the "Boundary line between British and American Possessions, from the Admiralty "surveys by Captains H. Kellett, R. N. 1847, and G. H. Richards, R. N. 1858-1862." The Boundary line thus laid down on the chart is a Black line shaded Red on the side of the British possessions, and Blue on the side of the possessions of the United States.

The Boundary line thus defined commences at the point on the 49th Parallel of North Latitude on the West side of Point Robarts which is marked by a stone monument, and the line is continued along the said Parallel to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver Island, that is to say, to a point in Longitude 123° 19' 15" W, as shown in the said chart.

It then proceeds in a direction about S 50° E (true) for about fifteen geographical miles, when it curves to the Southward passing equidistant between the West point of Patos Island and the East point of Saturna Island until the point midway on a line drawn between Turnpoint on Stewart Island and Fairfax point on Moresby Island bears S. 68° W. (true) distant ten miles then on a course south 68° W (true) ten miles to the said point midway between Turnpoint on Stewart Island and Fairfax point on Moresby Ísland, thence on a course about South 12° 30′ East (true) for about eight and three-quarter miles to a point due east one mile from the northernmost Kelp Reef which Reef on the said chart is laid down as in Latitude 48° 33′ North and in longitude 123° 15′ West, then its direction continues about S 20° 15' East, (true) six and one eighth miles to a point midway between Sea Bird Point on Discovery Island and Pile Point on San Juan Island thence in a straight line S 45° E. (true) until it touches the North end of the middle Bank in between 13 and 18 fathoms of water; from this point the line takes a general S 28° 30′ W direction (true) for about ten miles when it reaches the center of the fairway of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which by the chart is in the Latitude of 48° 17′ north and longitude 123° 14′ 40 W.

Thence the line runs in a direction S, 73° W (true)_for_twelve miles to a point on a straight line drawn from the Light House on Race Island to Angelos Point midway between the same.

Thence the line runs through the center of the Strait of Juan de Fuca first in a direction N. 80° 30′ W, about 5 miles to a point equidistant on a straight line between Beechey Head on Vancouver Island and Tongue point on the shore of Washington Territory, second in a direction N. 76° W, about 13 miles to a point equidistant in a straight line between Sherringham Point on Vancouver Island and Pillow Point on the shore of Washington Territory, third, in a direction N. 68° W, about 30 miles to the Pacific Ocean at a point equidistant between Bonilla point on Vancouver Island and Tatooch Island Light House on the American shore-the line between the points being nearly due North and South (true.)

The courses and distances as given in the foregoing description are not assumed to be perfectly accurate-but are as nearly so as is supposed to be necessary to a practical definition of the line laid down on the chart and intended to be the Boundary line.
