The statute provides that there shall be no recovery for salvage services if suit therefor be brought later than two years “from the date” the salvage was rendered. 46 USCA § 730. The services here involved were rendered June 14, 1922, and the libel was filed June 14, 1924.

A suit was commenced the day the libel was filed. Leveille v. Eastern S. S. Lines (D. C.) 12 F.(2d) 486. In estimating a period “from” which time runs, the first day is excluded. New York Life Ins. Co. v. Bullock (C. C. A.) 26 F.(2d) 666. In consequence, the-present aetion was begun within the two years prescribed by the> statute.

Moreover, the government not being specifically mentioned, the statute does not create a bar by limitation against it. Matter of Cuban Atlantic Transport Corporation, Bankrupt (C. C. A. 2) 57 F.(2d) 963, per Swan, J.

Exceptions to the libel overruled.
