* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Per Curiam Opinion of the Court
[p340] PER CURIAM.
We granted certiorari to review the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, 442 F. 2d 694 (1971), affirming the judgment of the District Court for the Southern District of New York, 315 F. Supp. 357 (1970). 404 U.S. 909 (1971). We agree that in this noncollision admiralty case the District Court properly dismissed petitioner's third-party complaint for contribution against respondent Erie on the authority of Halcyon Lines v. Haenn Ship Corp., 342 U.S. 282 (1952). The judgment of the Court of Appeals is therefore
Affirmed.
MR. JUSTICE POWELL took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.

​ Spat, m., ‘spar’ (mineral), from MidHG. spât, m., ‘foliated stone, splinter,’ whence Du. spaath, Fr. spath, and Ital. spato, ‘felspar,’ seem to be derived. Its origin is obscure, as in the case of Quarz.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Speck

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speck | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speck, m., ‘bacon, lard, fat,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spëc (ck), OHG. spëcch, m.; corresponding to Du. spek, AS. spic, OIc. spik, n., ‘blubber.’ A primit. Teut. term, ​which is usually connected with Sans. pîvan, ‘fat,’ Gr. πίων, ‘fat,’ Zend pivaṅh, ‘bacon,’ the w being assumed to be changed into q (see feck and Speichel).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Speiche

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speiche | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speiche, f., ‘spoke,’ from the equiv. MidHG. speiche, OHG. speihha, f.; a West Teut. word; comp. AS. spâce, E. spoke, Du. speek, OLG. spêca, ‘spoke.’ Its connection with OHG. spahha, ‘chip, stick,’ Du. spaak, ‘rafter,’ is not certain. Speiche is derived from a primit. Teut. spī̆k; so too the cognates of ModHG. Speichernagel, whose first component is ModHG. (simply MidG.) spîcher, m., ‘nail.’ This corresponds to Du. spijker, ‘nail,’ OIc. spik, ‘spike, sprig,’ and E. spike.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spaten | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spaten, m., ‘spade,’ ModHG. only; MidHG. spate may be inferred from the MidHG. and ModHG. dimin. spatel, ‘little shovel’; the implied OHG. *spato agrees with OSax. spado, Du. spade (spa), AS. spada, E. spade. These OTeut. cognates are primit. allied to Gr. σπάθη, ‘(blade of a) sword.’ Ital. spada, ‘sword’ (to which Fr. épée is allied), is usually derived from Gr. rather than from Teut.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Spatz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spatz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spatz, m., ‘sparrow,’ from the equiv. late MidHG. spatz, m.; a pet term peculiar to HG., and allied to MidHG. spar (see Sperling). The assumed orig. connection with the equiv. Lat. passer (for *spat-ter?) is less probable.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Sparren

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sparren | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sparren, m., ‘spar, raster,’ from MidHG. sparre, OHG. sparro, m., ‘pole, beam’; corresponding to Du. and E. spar, OIc. sparre, ‘beam.’ There are no cognate terms in the non-Teut. languages. See sperren.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Speer

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speer | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speer, m., ‘spear,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. spër, m.; common to Teut., with the corresponding terms, OIc. spjǫr, plur., ‘spear,’ AS. spëre, E. spear, Du. speer, OSax. spër (from Teut. spër is derived OFr. espier). It is uncertain how the word is connected with Lat. sparus, ‘hunting-spear’; it may be cognate, or the two languages may have borrowed it from a third. Its relation to Sparren and Sporn is doubtful.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Specht

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Specht | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Specht, m., ‘woodpecker,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. spëht, m.; Du. specht and E. speight, ‘woodpecker,’ are G. loan-words; also OHG. and MidHG. spëch (from a Teut. spëcca are derived OFr. espeche, ModFr. epeiche, ‘woodpecker’). Probably cognate with Lat. pîcus, ‘woodpecker’; the name is said to mean ‘speckled,’ and is usually connected with Lat. pingo, ‘I paint,’ pictus (Gr. ποικίλος), ‘ornate,’ or with E. speck, AS. spëcca, ‘spot.’ If OHG. spëht (Du. specht) be not allied to Lat. pîcus, it may be referred as ‘spy, watcher,’ to the root of spähen, ‘to spy.’ Deriv. Spessart, equiv. to Spëhtes hart, lit. ‘woodpecker's forest.’

# Ballads of a Bohemian/L’Envoi

L’ENVOI
We’ve finished up the filthy war; We’ve won what we were fighting for… (Or have we? I don’t know). But anyway I have my wish: I’m back upon the old Boul’ Mich’ And how my heart’s aglow! Though in my coat’s an empty sleeve, Ah! do not think I ever grieve (The pension for it, I believe, Will keep me on the go).
So I’ll be free to write and write, And give my soul to sheer delight, Till joy is almost pain; To stand aloof and watch the throng, And worship youth and sing my song Of faith and hope again; To seek for beauty everywhere, To make each day a living prayer That life may not be vain.
To sing of things that comfort me, The joy in mother-eyes, the glee Of little ones at play; The blessed gentleness of trees, Of old men dreaming at their ease Soft afternoons away; Of violets and swallows’ wings,
Of wondrous, ordinary things In words of every day.
To rhyme of rich and rainy nights, When like a legion leap the lights And take the town with gold; Of taverns quaint where poets dream, Of cafés gaudily agleam, And vice that’s overbold; Of crystal shimmer, silver sheen, Of soft and soothing nicotine, Of wine that’s rich and old.
Of gutters, chimney-tops and stars, Of apple-carts and motor-cars, The sordid and sublime; Of wealth and misery that meet In every great and little street, Of glory and of grime; Of all the living tide that flows– From princes down to puppet shows– I’ll make my humble rhyme.
So if you like the sort of thing Of which I also like to sing, Just give my stuff a look; And if you don’t, no harm is done–
In writing it I’ve had my fun; Good luck to you and every one– And so
Here ends my book.

# Ballads of a Bohemian/Prelude

PRELUDE
Alas! upon some starry height, The Gods of Excellence to please, This hand of mine will never smite The Harp of High Serenities. Mere minstrel of the street am I, To whom a careless coin you fling; But who, beneath the bitter sky, Blue-lipped, yet insolent of eye, Can shrill a song of Spring; A song of merry mansard days, The cheery chimney-tops among; Of rolics and of roundelays When we were young… when we were young; A song of love and lilac nights, Of wit, of wisdom and of wine; Of Folly whirling on the Heights, Of hunger and of hope divine; Of Blanche, Suzette and Celestine, And all that gay and tender hand Who shared with us the fat, the lean, The hazard of Illusion-land; When scores of Philistines we slew As mightily with brush and pen We sought to make the world anew, And scorned the gods of other men; When we were fools divinely wise,
Who held it rapturous to strive; When Art was sacred in our eyes, And it was Heaven to be alive….
O days of glamor, glory, truth, To you to-night I raise my glass; O freehold of immortal youth, Bohemia, the lost, alas! O laughing lads who led the romp, Respectable you’ve grown, I’m told; Your heads you bow to power and pomp, You’ve learned to know the worth of gold. O merry maids who shared our cheer, Your eyes are dim, your locks are gray; And as you scrub I sadly fear Your daughters speed the dance to-day. O windmill land and crescent moon! O Columbine and Pierrette! To you my old guitar I tune Ere I forget, ere I forget….
So come, good men who toil and tire, Who smoke and sip the kindly cup, Ring round about the tavern fire Ere yet you drink your liquor up; And hear my simple songs of earth, Of youth and truth and living things; Of poverty and proper mirth, Of rags and rich imaginings; Of cock-a-hoop, blue-heavened days, Of hearts elate and eager breath,
Of wonder, worship, pity, praise, Of sorrow, sacrifice and death; Of lusting, laughter, passion, pain, Of lights that lure and dreams that thrall… And if a golden word I gain, Oh, kindly folks, God save you all! And if you shake your heads in blame… Good friends, God love you all the same.

# Ballads on Mr. Heron's Election - Ballad First

    Whom will you send to London town,

# Ballads on Mr. Heron's Election - Ballad Third

    'Twas in the seventeen hunder year
    O' grace, and ninety-five,
    That year I was the wae'est man
    Of ony man alive.
    In March the three-an'-twentieth morn,
    The sun raise clear an' bright;
    But oh! I was a waefu' man,
    Ere to-fa' o' the night.
    Yerl Galloway lang did rule this land,
    Wi' equal right and fame,
    And thereto was his kinsmen join'd,
    The Murray's noble name.
    Yerl Galloway's man o' men was I,
    And chief o' Broughton's host;
    So twa blind beggars, on a string,
    The faithfu' tyke will trust.
    But now Yerl Galloway's sceptre's broke,
    And Broughton's wi' the slain,
    And I my ancient craft may try,
    Sin' honesty is gane.
    'Twas by the banks o' bonie Dee,
    Beside Kirkcudbright's towers,
    The Stewart and the Murray there,
    Did muster a' their powers.
    Then Murray on the auld grey yaud,
    Wi' winged spurs did ride,
    That auld grey yaud a' Nidsdale rade,
    He staw upon Nidside.
    And there had na been the Yerl himsel,
    O there had been nae play;
    But Garlies was to London gane,
    And sae the kye might stray.
    And there was Balmaghie, I ween,
    In front rank he wad shine;
    But Balmaghie had better been
    Drinkin' Madeira wine.
    And frae Glenkens cam to our aid
    A chief o' doughty deed;
    In case that worth should wanted be,
    O' Kenmure we had need.
    And by our banners march'd Muirhead,
    And Buittle was na slack;
    Whase haly priesthood nane could stain,
    For wha could dye the black?
    And there was grave squire Cardoness,
    Look'd on till a' was done;
    Sae in the tower o' Cardoness
    A howlet sits at noon.
    And there led I the Bushby clan,
    My gamesome billie, Will,
    And my son Maitland, wise as brave,
    My footsteps follow'd still.
    The Douglas and the Heron's name,
    We set nought to their score;
    The Douglas and the Heron's name,
    Had felt our weight before.
    But Douglasses o' weight had we,
    The pair o' lusty lairds,
    For building cot-houses sae fam'd,
    And christenin' kail-yards.
    And there Redcastle drew his sword,
    That ne'er was stain'd wi' gore,
    Save on a wand'rer lame and blind,
    To drive him frae his door.
    And last cam creepin' Collieston,
    Was mair in fear than wrath;
    Ae knave was constant in his mind-
    To keep that knave frae scaith.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Green, Beriah

Edition of 1900.
​GREEN, Beriah, reformer, b. in New York state in 1794; d. in Whitestown, N. Y., 4 May, 1874. He was graduated at Middlebury college in 1819, and studied theology with the intention of becoming a Presbyterian minister, but formed a creed of his own, which did not admit of his joining any denomination. He removed to Kennebunk. Me., in 1830, and the following year to Ohio, and was professor of sacred literature in the Western Reserve college. His determined opposition to slavery shortened his stay in this community, and three years later he became president of the Oneida institute, Ohio. Throughout his life he was the earnest friend of Gerrit Smith and other abolitionists, and in 1834, having taken an active part in the formation of the American anti-slavery society, was chosen its president. j\Ir. Green was also a temperance advocate and promoter of public education. In 1845 he founded the Manual labor school in Whitestown, N. Y. He had just addressed the board of excise in the town-hall of Whitestown, urging the prohibition of intoxicating liquors, and was waiting at the head of a line of citizens to place his vote in the ballot-box, when he fell dead. He published "History of the Quakers" (Albany, 1833) and "Sermons and Discourses, with a Few Essays and Addresses " (Utica, N. Y., 1833).

Edition of 1900.
​GREEN, Duff, politician, b. in Kentucky, 15 Aug., 1791; d. in Dalton. Ga.. 10 June, 1875.' He studied law in early life, and was admitted to practice. From 1835 to 1839. during the administration of John Quincy Adams, he edited the opposition journal at Washington. During Jackson's first terra he conducted the administration organ, " The United States Telegram." Mr. Green was credited with immense party power, and it was believed that he influenced the policy of the executive; but in 1830, on the alienation of John C. Calhoun, he took sides with the vice-president. He supported Henry Clay for the presidency in 1833, and j\Ir. Calhoun in 1836, and for many years was a political power in his section of the country. His later life was devoted to the advancement of the industrial interests of the south. He was the author of " Facts and Suggestions " (New York, 1866).

Edition of 1900.
​GREBLE, John Trout, soldier, b. in Philadelphia, 19 Jan., 1834; killed in the battle of Big Bethel, Va., 10 June, 1861. He was graduated at the U. S. military academy in 1854, assigned to the 2d artillery, and stationed at Newport, R. I. In September of that year he was made 2d lieutenant and sent to Tampa, Fla., where he served in the Indian troubles for two years. He was compelled, in consequence of a severe fever, to return home on sick leave, but in the beginning of 1856 resumed his duties, acting part of the time as quartermaster and commissary till December, 1856, when he was appointed acting assistant professor of geography, history, and ethics in the military academy, where he remained till 24 Sept., 1860. He was promoted 1st lieutenant on 3 March, 1857, detailed for active duty at Fort Monroe in March, 1861, and rendered efficient service in preventing its seizure. On 26 May, 1861, he was sent to Newport News as master of ordnance, superintended the fortifications of that point, and trained the volunteers to artillery practice. When the disastrous expedition to Big Bethel was planned, he was unexpectedly detailed to accompany it with two ​guns, though in his own judgment it was ill-advised and would probably prove fatal to him. When the National troops were repelled, by his admirable management of the guns he protected them from pursuit and destruction. Just at the close of the action, when he had given the orders to withdraw his guns from the field, he was struck by a rifle-ball on the right temple and instantly killed. For his bravery in the two days' action he was brevetted captain, major, and lieutenant-colonel, on the day of his death.
