1Opinion of the Court
FANNING, Circuit Judge.
By the decree of the District Court the Plymouth was held liable for the collision, in the Pollock Rip Slue, between the steamship Williamsport, and one of the three barges which the Plymouth had in tow. “The Slue,” said Judge P.utnam, in The H. F. Dimock, 77 Fed. 226, 23 C. C. A. 123, “is a well-known thoroughfare on the coast of Massachusetts, so much used that very few on our shores are more thronged. It is a dangerous and difficult channel to navigate, because of the swift tide, the direction of which is constantly changing, and of dangerous shoals on either hand.”
