that the money paid his company was

and that the balance was taken up in pay

If Gen. SorreIs view of the contract

accepted as the correct, then the service
would be one of Salvage. The question
is one mainly of the Interpretation of this
contract. The towboat company agreed
seven years ago to send a tugboat to the
Central railroad wharves every night in
the year for IS per night to guard the
property from fire. On the night of Nov
10, 1901 when fires occurred on nine ships
along the wharves the paulsen was in
the Central slip as usual, and when the
fire broke out on the Dalegarth went to
its assistance. Agent Trezevant testi-
fled that he hired the tug for the Central
railroad and not on account of the ship
itself. In his testimony Capt. Paulsen
stated his company had received $1,000
for putting out the fire on the Naples and
