No. 5688.

289 F.Supp. 635 (1968)

PEOPLE OF THE LIVING GOD v. STAR TOWING CO., Inc. and Derrick Barge No. 1.

United States District Court E. D. Louisiana, New Orleans Division.

September 10, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

E. Howard McCaleb, III, New Orleans, La., for libelant.

John Poitevent, Phelps, Dunbar, Marks, Claverie & Sims, New Orleans, La., for defendant Star Towing Co., Inc.

Cornelius G. Van Dalen, Deutsch, Kerrigan & Stiles, New Orleans, La., for defendants Atlantic & Gulf Stevedores, Inc. and the barge Eileen H. McGrath.


HEEBE, District Judge:

This suit was instituted over five years ago on February 20, 1963, against the Derrick Barge No. 1 and her owner, Star Towing Co., Inc., to recover for salvage services rendered by libelant's tug, the Ambassador, to the Derrick Barge No. 1 on February 9, 1962, and for damages incurred by the Ambassador in the rescue operation. The libellant also sought to recover charter hire; but that claim is irrelevant for purposes of this motion.
