L. S. DISTRICT CoURr-Beiore Judge Judson,
Steamboat U;orcester vs.. Steamboat Bay Sfa1e.
TO recover about $40 600 damage by collision,
already referred to. The Court made decision
in this case declaring its opinion that the collision
was an accident and unavoldable-but that tho
Bay State was equally instrumental with the
Worcester in relation to it, and that thecost OF
INJURIES, therefore, be equally divided oetwes2
them.
Neir berths on the North River, near the
cut q,l. o. u, same time, all bound down Sound.
Tb I B3y state. wb,c was the largest and 'asEess
boat shot ont into the rfye. ana hon3ehtarhy
stopped; the Vanderbilt went out less
and the Worcester took the inner position. The
three boats pursued their way, and would have
done well, but after they had rounded the East
River a schooner and tow boat suddenly came
into the wake OF the Worcester and she must
either pass outside of both of them run them
down She did pass outside but on steering to
do so the tide which against her, took her
bow and drove her into the wake OF the Bay
State, which did all she could at that moment, to
prevent ollison, but without effect, the vessels,
the Court thinks, however coming together at an
angle only Of about 10 or Is degrees, and 6oth
striking at the swell of the boats, about 60 or 10
feet aft the stem. If the Bay State had struck at
an angle of IS degrees, contended tor by libei-
l0nts she must have, no doubt, destroyed the
Worcester
III relation to not being as near as possible IN
the center OF the river requiredb by the law OF
ISIS, that is lot n positive requirement. but the
circumstances may be inquired INTO. In this case
the Bay State chose the outer position, ana 1t
would have been imprudent in either Of the other
tor hprh
state herself was far from being IN the middle OF
the iiyer she only being about $50 yards from the
York shore whereas the river, at that point, Is
over l,470 yards wide and, to be in the middle oil
the river she would have been 735 yards from the
shore Had she been about 100 feet further out
than she was, the collision would have been aviod;
ed 1t may be said, too, that if the Bay state had
taken notice of the position of the schooner and
tow boat in front of the Worcester, and the ne
cessity of the latter shecring, and given her, III
anticipation more room, the difficulty might per
haps have been avoided. But, taking ali things
into consideration, everything was done by both
boats, when the danger became apparent theb
was possible
AS to the law requiring that the rate of speed
shall not be than ten miles an hour the
Court thinka that was complied with by both boats
If there was fault as to their being out OF posi-
/ ton, it was induced, probably by what has been
already stated reference to ascertain amount OF
damage.
