CAPTAIN KICKED.

London, Ont., May 7th - Captain Popperwell, of the fish tug Sprudel, which was captured on Lake Erie by the Canadian government boat Vigilant, and brough to Port Stanley, was in the city to consult United States Customs Officer Buzzell.

"I was not within five miles of the Canadian line when my tug was captured," said Captain Popperwell.

The Sprudel's compass was out of order, according to the captain. He says he drew the attention of the Vigilant's captain to this fact, but the reply he got was that as the vessel had been taken in charge there was no other course open than to take possession of it and report the seizure to Ottawa.
