THE VARGIN.
    (Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.
    March 13, 1911.)
    No. 200.
    Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. This cause comes here upon appeal to review a decree awarding the libelant, as master of the German steamship Erika, $45,000 as salvage and $3,333.21 for expenses, with Interest and costs. Burlingham, Montgomery & Beecher (Charles C. Burlingham, of counsel), for appellant. Wheeler, Cortis & Haight (C. S. Haight, of counsel), for appellee.
    Before LACOMBE, COXE, and WARD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

In our opinion, interest should not he added to the amount awarded by the court’s decision, intermediate the filing of the opinion and the entry of the decree, unless the delay in entering decree is attributable in some way to claimant, which does not appear to be the case here. Judge Hand’s opinion (180 Fed. 892) sets forth the facts with great fullness, and as appellant concedes with accuracy. Since we are satisfied with his reasoning imd concur in his conclusion, further discussion seems unnecessary. With the modification above suggested, the decree is affirmed, without costs of this appeal.
