BOND, Circuit Judge.

This cause having been heard and considered, the court doth [1350]*1350find the facts to- be,- that the libellant was the owner, on the 4th day of January, 1878, of the sloop Sirocco, which at that time was sailing up the Chesapeake Bay,- from Blob Jack Bay to Baltimore, with a cargo of oysters.
