CHASE, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
As inadequate stowage and ventilation of such a cargo for such a voyage, sufficient to account for the damage, was proved and found; the bills of lading showed receipt in apparent good order and condition; and there was only what I think pure speculation as to any excessive oil or moisture content of the meal when shipped; it seems to me that the trial judge was justified in treating good condition at shipment as sufficiently established. Consequently, I think the rule of Schnell v. The Vallescura, 293 U.S. 296, 55 S.Ct. 194, 79 L.Ed. 373 applicable.
I would affirm the decree.
