DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE-MONEY.

.The Berlin Papers mention a cause which has been
tried at Hamburgh, which is not unimportant to Mer-
chants. Captain STALLIEN, commanding the Char-
lotte, of Hamburgh. sailed for Charleston for a
mercantile house at Hamburgh. The vessel had on
board a large sum in ready money to purchase goods
in America, and was laden with sand for ballast. In
the midst of the ocean a dreadful storm overtook the
ship, which struck on a rock, and sprung a leak,
which was so considerable, that the vessel began to
sink, and the storm raging with unabated fury, the
Captain and crew thought themselves lost. The
Captain, a man of great experience and courage,
fearing that his crew might take to the boats, and
abandon the ship (though they had not yet intima-
ted any such thing), judged that he ought not to
for the last extremity, and promised his people, in
the name of the owners, a reward of one thousand
dollars banco (0.50 sterling), if they would perse-
vere with him in endeavouring to save the ship,
which, in truth, seemed to be next to impossible.—
Encouraged by this promise, they remained on board.
With incredible exertion at the pumps for three days
and three nights, without being able to eat a bit of
bread or drink a drop of water, and though the
sand had nearly choaked the pumps, they reduced
the water, stopped the leak, and brought the vessel
into the port of Norfolk. Captain STALIAEN, who
was dangerously ill, here drew up a deed, which he
caused to be duly legalized and registered, stating
the promise he had made his crew, and the reasons
for it, which promise he, as Captain, was antho-
rised to make. The Chief Mate then proceeded
with the ship to Charleston, finished bis business
(here successfully, and brought the vessel safe back to
• Hamburgh, where the sailors claimed their reward,
which was positively refused by the owners, who at-
leged they were not bound to fulfil the Captsin's pro-
mise, and that the sailors had done no more than their
duty in remaining on board till the last moment. The
decision was not easy, on account of the consequences
that might result from it. If the sentence should be
against the sailors, it might render others less zealous
on similar occasions that might occur in future ; it
in their favour, it might open a wide doer to impos-
ture, and to collusion between a Captain and his crew
to injure the owners. The Tribunal of Commerce
has, decided in favour of the sailors—lst, Because
there is ,a law which authorises the Captain to give
the sailors a doncrur at the expense of the Owners,
upon sufficient masons. To this was added the
smallness of the sum, and the consideration, that
the Captain on his death-bed, when there could be
no. suspicion for improper views, did his utmost to
give legal force to his engagement.
