Under the Russian rule, the fur seal regions had been very carefullyprotected, and when the United States bought Alaska the Government decidedto care for the animals in the same way that the Russians had done, allowing only a certain number of seals to be killed each year. The fisheries were leased to a company called the Alaska CommercialCompany of San Francisco, which had the entire rights to them, undercertain rules and regulations laid down by the Government. Soon after Alaska and its seal ...fisheries came into the possession of theUnited States, English and American vessels--the latter not belonging tothe Commercial Company--entered the Bering Sea, and slaughtered any sealsthey could reach, without regard to the proper rules for seal fishing. The Company complained to the Government, and in 1887 this seal poachinghad become such a serious matter that the United States ordered herrevenue cutters up to Bering Sea to protect her interests. Several ships were captured by the revenue-officers, and most of them wereBritish vessels.
