UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.

Collision Cnse-Admiralty Decision.
In the United States District Court In the matter
OF Simeon Fitch and william b. Fitch vs.. The Steam
ship Nemesis. which was an action TO recover dam
ages for q collision that took place between the
steamship and schooner, the latter owned by the
llbellants, Judge Blatchford mas rendered the fol
lowing decision:-
This suit is brought by the owners OF schooner
against the steamer Nemesis to recover for the
damages caused by collision between the two
vessels, which happened on the 18th OF july 1871,
on the Hudson River. at about the middle Thereon,
IN the daytime, between the city OF New York and
Jersey City, The wind was southwest and the
tide food. The schooner was beating down the
tack to the eastward, tackled to the westward, and
was on the latter tack when the Nemesis, going
down the river on her way to sea. struck with her
stem the starboard side OF the schooner. The
schooner was heavily laden with q cargo or stone.
The evidence shows that the Nemesis saw the
schooner while the schooner was heading to the
eastward and before she made her last tack and
slightly ported her helm so as TO pass under the
stern OF the schooner. The schooner then tackled
and stood TO the westward. The moment this was
seen by the Nemesis her engine was stopped and
reversed and her helm was starDoarded. Her
Roadway was nearly stopped before she struck the
schooner. The contest IN the case is as to whether
the schooner ran out her tack to the eastward as
far as she could she tackled in nearly the middle Of
the river, and alleges that she did so because
steamer, the Denmark, Was at anchor in her way,
and she could NOT, with the tide as 1t was proceed
farther and pass bet tween the Denmark and the
New York shore. The Nemesis alleges that the
schooner tackled unnecessarily, taking no heed OF
the approaching Nemesis, and thus failed TO keep
ner course and embarrassed and thwarted the
Nemesis IN her attempt to avoid the schooner,
which attempt she had made in due time and
properly, with reference TO the schooner on her
tack to the eastward, by porting her helm. The
Nemesis was proceeding cautiously and at mode
rate speed, and think the weight OF the evidence
Is that the schooner went about improperly under
the bows OF the Nemesis and caused the collision
and that the Nemesis was not IN ault. The libel IS
dismissed, with costs. K. d. Benedict for the lDe-
