The John G. Stevens
In a pending appeal in admiralty by Edward H. Loud and others, owners of the schooner C. R. Flint, from a decree of the district court of the United States for the Eastern district of New York in favor of Frederich H. Gladwish and others, coal merchants under the name of Gld wish, Moquin & Co., the circuit court of appeals for the Second circuit certified to this court a question of the priority of maritime liens on the steam tug John G. Stevens, arising, as the certificate stated, upon the following facts:
'The home port of the tug was New York. Between December 7, 1885, and March 7, 1886, Gladwish, Moquin & Co. furnished coal to the tug in her home port, and filed notices of liens therefore under the Laws of the State of New York of 1862, c. 482, thereby creating statutory liens on her. On March 8, 1886, the tug John G. Stevens was employed in the port of New York to tow the schooner C. R. Flint through the waters of said port, and, while towing, negligently allowed the C. R. Flint to collide with the bark Doris Eckhoff in tow of the tug R. S.C.arter.
'On March 16, 1886, Loud and others, owners of the C. R. Flint, libeled the John G. Stevens and the R. S.C.arter in admiralty, in the district court of the United States for the Eastern district of New York, for the collision damage. On March 16, 1886, Gladwish and others libeled the John G. Stevens, in the same court, to enforce their supply lien under the state law. The Loud libel resulted in a decree condemning both tugs for damages exceeding $15,000. The Gladwish libel resulted in a decree condemning the John G. Stevens for the coal supplied, and costs, in all, $218.07.
'The district court awarded priority to the supply lien, which exhausts the fund resulting from the sale of the John G. Stevens, leaving the Loud decree unsatisfied.' 58 Fed. 792.
Upon these facts the circuit court of appeals desired the instruction of this court upon this question of law: 'Is the lien for the damages occasioned by negligent towage, which arose on March 8, 1886, to be preferred to the previous state lien for supplies, the libel for supplies being filed last?'
Harrington Putnam, for appellants.
Mark Ash and J. Parker Kirlin, for appellees.
Mr. Justice GRAY, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

# The John B. Sails

A Bahamian folk song, transcribed by Richard Le Gallienne, and published in his article “Coral Islands and Mangrove-Trees” in the December 1916 issue of Harper’s Monthly Magazine (pp. 81–90). The first two verses and chorus were also published in Gallienne’s 1917 novel Pieces of Eight (Chapter IV).
Notable recordings include “Wreck of the John B” by The Weavers (1950), “Sloop John B” by the Kingston Trio (1958), and “Sloop John B” by The Beach Boys (1966).

### “The John B. Sails”

Come on the sloop John B., My grandfather and me, Round Nassau town ve did roam. Drinking all night, ve got in a ﬁght, Ve feel so break-up, ve vant to go home.
Chorus So hoist up the John B. sails, See how the mainsail set, Send for the captain ashore—let me go home, Let me go home, let me go home, I feel so break-up, I vant to go home.
The ﬁrst mate he got drunk, Break up the people trunk, Constable come aboard, take him away— Mr. Johnstone, leave me alone, I feel so break-up, I vant to go home. (Chorus)
The poor cook got the fits, Throw away all o’ my grits, Captain’s pig done eat up all o’ my corn. Lemme go home, I vant to go home, I feel so break-up, I vant to go home. (Chorus)
Steamboat go by steam, Sailboat go by sail, My girl’s hat ’ain’t got no tail. Lemme go home, I vant to go home, I feel so break-up, I vant to go home. (Chorus)
Send all the things from ashore, Let all the breezes blow, I’m so sorry that I can longer stay, Good-by to you— Tra-la-la-lu, This is the vorst trip since I vas born. (Chorus)

1861 uncredited publication 'with new and revised words' published by Root & Cady, Chicago.
    Verse
    Oh, John Brown's body lies a mould'ring in the grave,
    While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
    But tho' he lost his life in struggling for the slave,
    His soul is marching on.
    Chorus
    Oh glory hallelujah
    Glory glory hallelujah
    Oh glory hallelujah
    His soul is marching on.
    Verse
    John Brown was a hero undaunted, true and brave;
    Kansas knew his valor when he fought her rights to save;
    And now tho' the grass grows green above his grave,
    His soul is marching on.
    Verse
    He captured Harpers Ferry, with his nineteen men so few,
    And he frighten'd "Old Viginny" 'till she trembled thro' and thro';
    They hung him for a traitor, themselves a traitor crew,
    But his soul is marching on.
    Verse
    John Brown was John the Baptist for the Christ we are to see
    Christ who of the bondman shall the Liberator be;
    And soon throughout the sunny south, the slaves shall all be free,
    For his soul is marching on.
    Verse
    The conflict that he heralded, he looks from heav'n to view;
    On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue,
    And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deeds they mean to do,
    For his soul is marching on.
    Verse
    O soldiers of freedom, then strike while strike you may
    The death blow of oppression in a better time and way;
    For the dawn of old John Brown has brighten'd into day,
    And his soul is marching on.

United States Supreme Court
121 U.S. 469
The John H. Pearson
This is an appeal in admiralty, and presents the following facts: The bark John H. Pearson was chartered to carry a cargo, consisting mostly of oranges, for the libelants, from Palermo, Sicily, to Boston, Massachusetts. The charter-party contained the words, 'captain engages himself to take the northern passage,' inserted at the instance of the libelants, for the benefit of the cargo, and written into the printed blank. The cargo was badly damaged on the voyage, and this suit was brought to recover for the loss. The controversy is as to whether the vessel, in going from Gibraltar to Boston, took 'the northern passage.' The court has found that 'shippers of fruit consider it of very great importance for the preservation of the cargo that it be kept in as cold a temperature as possible, short of the freezing POINT, AND HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOMED FOR MANY years to instruct masters to take a northerly course;' and, after setting forth other facts, stated as 'conclusions of law' the following: '(1) The term 'northern passage' appears, in view of the testimony of merchants and seamen introduced on both sides, to be a term of art, and is, when taken by itself, without the aid of such testimony, unintelligible. The testimony introduced by the libelants tended to show that the phrase meant a passage from Gibraltar to the Great Banks, and thence direct to Boston, keeping as much to the north as possible during the entire passage; that anything between that and the southern passage was the middle passage. That introduced by the claimant tended to show that it meant anything north of latitudes 30 deg. to 35 deg. or 36 deg., or of the southern passage; and that the middle passage was anything between the southern passage and the northern, as described by the respective witnesses. It was admitted that the southern passage was in the trade winds. (2) Upon this testimony the court, thinking that the true meaning of the term is very doubtful, does not consider it material, and does no undertake to decide, whether a preponderance of the evidence favors one of the above definitions or another, and rules that the claimant is entitled to the least strict definition, and that, as the course of the bark comes within such definition, there is on deviation.'
The libel was dismissed, and from a decree to that effect this appeal was taken. The opinion of the circuit court is reported in 14 Fed. Rep. 749.
H. W. Putnam, for appellant.
Frederic Dodge, for appellee.

Mr. Langbain has always, a good Word for Quality, he can see no Blemish in that Person that has a Title, tho’ he be so sharp sighted in all those of a lower Station; and he is so transported on this worthy Nobleman, that he baulks the Curiosity of his Reader, for some Account of his Life, to vent a clumsey Flattery. He was of the Illustrious and Ancient Family of Cavendish, a zealous Follower of the Royal Cause, and with it exil’d; during his Aboad at Antwerp, he writ a Book of Horsemanship.

The Variety, a Comedy, 8 vo. 1649. presented by his Majesty’s Servants at the Black Fryars. Tho’ the Duke’s Name be not to this, or The Country Captain, which is usually bound with it; yet, by Mr. Cartwright’s Works, and others, we find Satisfaction enough to believe them his.
