Head Matter:
THE RAVN.
(Circuit Court of Appeals. Second Circuit.
November 13, 1911.)
No. 113.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of New York. Appeal from a decree awarding $12,500 to the libelant for salvage services rendered to the steamship Ravn. The libel-ant appeals, claiming the award to be inadequate.
Edward G. Benedict (Everett, Clarke & Benedict, of counsel), for appellant. Haight, Sanford & Smith (Charles S. Haight and Clarence B. Smith, of counsel), for appellee.
Before LACOMBE, WARD, and NOYES, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CtJRlAM.
While the salvage award in this case is moderate, we cannot find any violation of correct legal principles upon the part of the District Court, or any failure to exercise the discretion vested in it as the court of the first instance "in the spirit of those decisions which high judicial tribunals have recognized and enforced." The Bay of Naples, 48 Fed. 737, 1 C. C. A. 81. The facts appearing in the record are wholly insufficient to justify an appellate court in disturbing a salvage award. The decree of the District Court is affirmed, without interest, and with the costs of this appeal to the appellee.
