White Star Towing Co. v. Reed
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit · Decided September 12, 1894 · Lacombe, Shipman, Wallace
63 F. 1023; 1894 U.S. App. LEXIS 2468; 12 C.C.A. 4

White Star Towing Co. v. Reed

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The questions presented are entirely questions of fact, and the evidence is extremely conflicting. Upon examination of the record we see no reason to reverse the finding of the district judge that the collision would not have happened had either the tug or the steamship taken “more timely and efficient measures to avoid each other.” Decree of district court affirmed, with interest, and half costs to the Johnson against each steam vessel.
