Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit·Decided January 6, 1905·No. Nos. 97, 98·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We concur fully with the District Judge. The proximate cause of the collision was the condition of dumper No. 3, which made it impossible to give her a port helm. The disrepair which produced this condition had existed several days, was known to master and owners, and had not been communicated to the tug which had her in tow, and which was entitled to assume she could be steered.

The decree is affirmed, with interest and costs.
