GEORGE W. McNEAR SUED.
The Action Grows Out of the CorneiIIe-
Larnaca Collision.

The Action Grows Out of the Corneille-
Larnaca Collision.
Another legal complication has arisen
that grew out Of the collision between the
French ship Pierre Corneille and the ship
Larnaca off the Golden Gate several
months ago. The owners of the Larnaca
brought an action for damages against tle
owners of the French merchantmen about
six weeks ago, and within the next week
or so the owners of the latter vessel will
bring a counter action against the owners
of the Larnaca for damages.
The last action in admiralty was filed in
the United States District Court vester-
day by Captain LIE Blonde of the Pierre
Corneille and the owners of the vessel
against George w. McNear, the we'll
known grain-dealer. McNear. according
TO the bill, chartered the Corneilie for q
voyage from San francesca to Falmouth
10 carry grain at 30 shiIiings per ton. the
vessel to arrive in this port before Decem-
Der 81 last. On Novem Der IL the two
ships mentioned collided off the Heads.
and the French vessel was obliged 10 lose
ten or more days in repairing the damage.
When this was done the vessel was Of
tered to McNear, but he declined to accept
it, claiming the right to reject upon the
ground that the vessel had taken more
than ten days to repair. However. he
rechartered the Corneille for 81 shillings
8 pence per ton. The owners of the
French vessel are now suing for the diff
ference in the amounts of the two charters
and for the loss OF time. They demand
