Opinion

By the Court.

The words of the covenant, “ forthwith, as soon as may be,” “ for the largest sum that we can reasonably obtain,” allowed a reasonable latitude, as to the time and manner of making the sale; and if the vessel was lost, that put an end to the power, and of course to the obligation, to sell. The rule prescribed by the court as to due diligence was correct. Exceptions overruled.
