1Opinion of the Court
WARD, Circuit Judge.
November 25, 1905, Eleller, Hirsch & Co. chartered the schooner William J. Quillan to carry a cargo of tankage from Barren Island, N. Y., to Savannah, Ga. Tankage is a dry powder, the result of the boiling, drying, and pressing of street garbage, and is packed in bags. Heller, Hirsch & Co. bought the tankage from the manufacturer, and had themselves nothing to do with the making, bagging, or stowing of the same. It has been the subject of transportation for 25 or 30 years, and shippers and shipowners must be taken to have knowledge of its character.
