In explanation of the departure of the ship without delivering the merchandise the appellant’s brief suggests that the ship was a mail carrier running on a fixed schedule that could not be changed at the convenience of the company.

Held: That as there was ño evidence to support that explanation of the matter nor error so manifest as to require a reversal, the judgment should be affirmed.
