x “the University of Padua. TOBIN BRONZE THE MARINE RECORD. MJ re MARITIME LAW. HURLBUT vs. TURNURE. (District Court, S. D.,.New York, October 29, 1806.) General and Particular Average—A pportionment—Defi- cient Coal Supply—Hurricane-—Port of Distress—Bill of Lading—‘“Liberty to all.” The steamship D. left Cuba upon a voyage for New York in October, with a half day’s less supply of coal than the customary supply, which was for at least 10 days; she met a hurricane on the voyage, and was obliged to put in- to Newport News for coal, after 12 days, during which _ time she had been obliged to consume ship’s material to -the amount of about $000 in value, and sugar amounting, with damage to other sugar, to $3,203. A clause in the bill of lading authorized the vessel “to call at any port or ports for whatever purpose;” Held (1) that the bill of lading clause did not release the vessel from the duty of taking in the customary supply of coal for the whole voy- age to New York; nor from the consequences of her fail- ure to do so; (2) that the ship must therefore bear as par- ticular average the damage caused by her failure to take the customary supply, including the expense.of putting in- to Newport News and the loss of ship’s material and su- gar during the time that the coal that she ought to have taken would have lasted, but not for any longer period; (3) that the residue of the loss of ship’s material and su- gar, which in this case amounted to four-fifths of the whole, was owing to the hurricane alone, and being in no way consequent on the short supply, was a general average charge, for which the defendant as one of the cargo own- ers should bear his proportion.—Brown District Judge. a Engineering achievements and possibilities, from the modern point of view, are receiving an additional illus- tration in the case of the projected tunnel between the mainland of Italy and the island of Sicily, plans and details of which, in model, as executed by the Italian civil engineer, de Johannis, have attracted much attention at The principle employed in this project is described as that of boring in parabolic ‘spiral lines. After thorough and careful studies of the Strait of Messina, its varying depths, the nature of the ground, and of all other conditions which might assist or interfere with such an undertaking, de Johannis decided (Trade Mark’ Registered.) or ae that the beginning of the tunnel should be near San Gioy- anni di Sanitello, at the foot of the Aspromonte moun- tain range, the mouth on the other side to be located on the degli Inglesi plain. The entire tunnel will be nearly two miles long, and will consist in the main of two shafts of about 10,000 feet each, descending at a grade not ex- ceeding thirty-two feet in each 1,000. Such a tunnel is thought preferable to a bridge, that would involye such a great span and wind exposure. eee eo VISIBLE SUPPLY OF GRAIN. As compiled for The Marine Record by George F.

Deceased had been sent aloft to reeve a gantline through the sheave-hole at the top of the maintopgallant- masthead, for the purpose of slinging a boatswain’s chair to paint the mast. It was contended that the ship was un- seaworthy and defective in her equipment from want of a dummy gantline, and that it was a dangerous ‘and im- proper piece of work to send a sailor to perform. . De- fendants pleaded that the action was irrelevant. Sheriff- Substitute Begg had allowed a proof before answer, but on appeal Sheriff Cheyne dismissed the action’ as irrele- vant. Plaintiff appealed... Their Lordships considered. it absurd to suggest that it was improper to send a sailor up a mast to reeve a rope, and without calling upon de- fendant’s counsel, they dismissed the appeal, with further expenses to the defendants. rr The Roberts Boiler Co. are furnishing the entire ma- chinery for the schooner yacht “Hildegarde,’ which was lately purchased by Vice Commodore Whitlock from Mr. Geo.
