gers, cargo and mails that had been

who sued the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company for $3.50, 900 for saving the
Colon at sea and towing her into port.
The company offered to pay 5000.
The Colon is valued ut $500, 900 and the
cargo at $500, 900, and the owners of
the Ntna, the Atlas Steamship Com
pany, claim that according to maritime
law they ara entitled to Sl50,000 rs sal,
wage. When the fStna sighted tho
Colon she was ii miles on the line of
steam vessels, and having lost her
steerageway was rapidly drifting to
the east whore there was no likelihood
of her meeting any vessel. 1t took the
Hltna six days TO tow her into port.
The Panama Company consider $780,
600 an exorbitant demand, but the
owners of the .AEtna say that only for
their steamer $50 lives aud property
worth 500, 900 might have been lost.
The Colon and her cargo were bonded
