Opinion:
WAITE, Circuit Justice.
The decree of the district court was right. The action was brought to recover for the breach of a contract of affreightment, and not for a marine tort. The well-considered opinion of the district judge, in which T fully concur, makes it unnecessary for me to attempt to add to what he has so well said.
