Judge Brown sustained the libel with costs. lie
also says:
THE material parts OF the first report made
by the master of the Sloan, filed with the local
inspectors on July =, has disappeared, and on
July an amended report was filed. Nothing
remains of the original report except few lines
at the beginning. the rest having been torn off.
No one, II seems, knows by whom this was done.
Both reports are In the handwriting OF a clerk
in the claimants office. and without explana-

straction. IL there were otherwise any doubts
about the merits of the collision. such an alb

The libel was granted on the ground that tho
yacht had the right of way. A referee will
take testimony as TO the sum to be awarded.
