A MARINE QUESTION. Sch. Quickstep last
week discharged here load of guanO, in
; bags, consigned to l.. A. Knowlton, from the
Bowker Fertilizer company, of Boston. The
, captain signed his bill of lading for given
t number of bags, although he informed the
shipper that he did not know of his own
. knowledge whether or not his cargo con-
q tanned the number. The shipper said: "That
is all right" When he discharged his cargo
fell short ten bags-more than one ton. The
f Bowker company telegraphed Mr.. Knowl-
value of the shortage, which would amount
to about SO. The captain would not settle
and sought legal advice.
