Opinion of the Court

E’ER CURIAM.

Decree affirmed with costs.

The opinion of Van Yechten Veeder, District Judge, in) the lower court, was as follows: The evidence leaves no doubt in my mind that the Almora was properly moored, and that no neglect of any reasonable precaution may be attributed to her.
