1Opinion of the Court
INCH, District Judge.
Libelant, owner of the barge Ruth, sues the steamship Favorita, on the ground that the steamship damaged the Ruth by means of swells negligently caused to hit against the barge.
The affair occurred off Governors Island on July 28, 1924. The libel was not filed until April 23, 1925.
While the taking of testimony on behalf of the steamship appears to have been delayed until February 14,1930, it is very pos*570sible that, as in many such cases, the officers of the offending vessel were never aware of passing or injuring any tugs and tows in the crowded harbor of New York City.
