unable to render this service she came
into communication with the English
steamship Viola. That vessel brought the
lightship to Cape Henry, distance of

compelled to deviate slightly frolu her
proper course towards New York, and
her crew, in passing back and forth be.
tween the vessels, incurred considerable
risk by reason Of the rough sen. The claim
Of the master of the Viola was for salvage.
