tie was to blame on November IS,
1910, for the sinking of the tug Sea
| Prince, and the drowning of the five

in the United States district court at
San Francisco. ga
The decision has been placed on
file He finds that the tug was en-
gagged to take the Greystoke Castle
from Port Costa to her berth at San
Francisco; that on the way down from
Port Costa the Sea Prince was ahead
both proceeding under their own
steam, when the Greystoke Castle ran
down and sank the tug.
II appeared from the evidence that
the steamship had no lookout for
ward, and that the officers on the
bridge could not see the water with
in 200 or 300 feet of her stem. Judge
Bean decided that the tug was the
privileged vessel, and that it was the
duty of the steamship to have kept out
of her way
The case was referred to United
States Commissioner James p. Brown
to ascertain the amount of damages.
