By the end of September, 1897 the 1¢ value of the Cabot issue was exhausted. Pending the arrival of a new issue, 400 sheets of the 3 cent issue of 1890 were broken in half to be surcharged. Thus a total of 800 sheets with a setting of 50 stamps were surcharged at the offices of the

Royal Gazette in St. John’s. To enable the sheet to fit into the press the top sheet margin was removed; the bottom margin was left intact. Three styles of type fonts were used
