MONEY VS.. HUMANITY the steamboat Sar-
atoga was snagged and was sinking in thirty feet
water, with more than one hundred and fifty souls
aboard, the river running thick with ice the Captain
of the steamboat Southwestern refused to go 10 the
assistance OF the and passengers of the sinking
boat, for fear oil violating his policy of insurance.
foolish idea has got abroad that one steamboat
cannot assist another in distress This idea orgina-
ted in the decision OF Missouri Judge AT sea il is
never deemed departure from voyage, for one
vessel TO turn aside TO assist another in Distress and
why not the same humane construction be adopted
TO mitigate the hardly less appalling perlls OF the
riverf I to turn aside to save sinking or burning
crew or boat full OF passengers is violation of a
policy, then all insurance should be prohibited and
made null by statute; for the lives OF crews and pas
sengers are more valuable than cargoes But, TO do
the Missouri Judge justice. we must state our i'm
preston that his decision did the case of
a STORAGE 10 save lie. The case, we believe was
that OF boat rendering assistance 10 another boat
10 save her or get her from a bar Nothing could
be more repugnant 10 humanity and civilization
than the doctrine that boat violates her policy by
stopping or going out OF her way TO save sinking
crew, even 10 burning or sinking load |
