8 MARINE REVIEW. A schooner westward bound in Long Island sound ported and went to the northward for the purpose of coming to anchor. A steamer was coming up astern and overtaking the schooner. The latter at the time she ported was 400 or 500 yards distant from the steamer, nearly ahead, and not over one and one-half points on the latter's port bow. Not recognizing the intention of the schooner to anchor, the steamer also ported and the vessels came into collision within the anchorage ground and outside the steamer's ordinary course. Judge Brown of the United States district court, New York city, held that the porting of the schooner presented no difficulty to the steamer, had she been properly observed and timely measures taken to go astern and that the steamer was solely in fault. A New York harbor tug worth $15,000 was a short time ago awarded salvage to the amount of $750, for picking up five scows worth $30,000 which had negligentiy got adrift in Harlem river. 'The court held that when a vessel has gone adrift through negligence and is drifting toward other vessels, which she is like- ly to injure, the saving of her owners from liability to pay any such damage as was likely to arise, and which the owners would be called on to pay, should be taken into account in determining the amount of salvage award. Where repairs are ordered by a shipmaster, who is also one of three equal part owners of a vessel, without, the knowledge of the other owners, the master is liable for the whole debt and the other two owners are each liable for one-third of it, under the act of June 26, 1884, section 18. In a case heard in the United States district court, New York.city, Judge Brown found occasion to hold that towage ser- vices are presumptively a lien on the vessel and in case of a dis-° pute it devolves upon the owner of the vessel to show circum- stances that would render negative a claim upon the vessel. A maritime lien for damages arising from collision takes precedence of the lien for seamen's wages accruing prior to the collision. Wrecks and Heavy Losses. Another Lake Michigan steamer, the A. EK. Wilds, can be placed among the total losses of the present season. She was sunk, Sunday night, seventeen miles off Milwaukee in collision with the steamer Douglass of the McElroy Transportation Com- pany, Milwaukee. 'The Wilds was owned by her commander, Capt. B. Wilds of Chicago. She rated A1™%, registered 236 tons and had a Lloyds valuation of $23,000. What is it You Want to Know?
