Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
RIVES, Circuit Judge.
This appeal in admiralty is taken from the District Court’s decree awarding damages to appellee for the value of its cargo lost while being transported in the TJ-318, a barge chartered from the appellant. The principal questions presented are whether a certain provision of the charter party negatived any implied warranty of seaworthiness, so as to preclude recovery; 1 and whether, assuming the breach of a duty to furnish a seaworthy barge, the award is nevertheless unjustified because of alleged improper loading and unnecessary jettisoning of the cargo by appellee.
