United States District Court S. D. New York.

June 23, 1961.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Foley & Martin, New York City (by John Hanrahan, Jr., and Edward Ryan, New York City), for libelant.

Burlingham, Hupper & Kennedy, New York City (by Robert Feltner and Eugene Underwood, New York City), for respondent.


EDELSTEIN, District Judge.

These cross suits, consolidated for trial, arose out of the sinking of the derrick barge F.S.C. No. 110, on September 8, 1956, while in tow of the Tug Julia C. Moran. Snare sues for loss of the barge and Moran cross-libels for the loss of the Julia's towing gear.1 The facts describing the occurrence are not in dispute. The cause of the sinking, however, is the subject of vigorous disagreement.
