1Opinion of the CourtDu-Four, J.
A carload of lumber was shipped at Morgan City by the plaintiff on April 30, 1907, consigned to one Tisdale at New York City.
It was moved on the Morgan line to New Orleans, and was there transferred to the steamship line of the Southern Pacific.
The lumber reached New York on May 10th, and was unloaded on the pier a day or two afterwards; there, on the evening of May 17th, it was destroyed by a fire which burned the pier and most of the freight that it contained.
The plaintiff now seeks to recover the value of the shipment on- the ground that the loss was due to the negligence of the defendants.
