Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal arises out of a collision in the Houston Ship Channel between the super tanker S.S. GULF-KNIGHT and the tow of the M/V PATSY CHOTIN. The district court found mutual fault and determined, therefore, that the damages sustained in the collision should be divided. Chotin, Inc. v. S. S. GULFKNIGHT, E.D., La., 1966, 266 F.Supp. 859.

The facts and the applicable law amply support the decision of the district court including its findings and conclusions. There is thus no error and the judgment, as to the appeal and cross-appeal, is

Affirmed.
