1Opinion of the Court
WALLACE, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is from a decree condemning the dredge Ein MacCool for the damages caused by the tug Elder by running upon the dredge while the latter was submerged in the Bay Ridge Channel off South Brooklyn. The accident took place about 9 o’clock on the evening of April 21st, a dark but clear night. There were numerous boats displaying anchor lights in the vicinity of the channel. The Elder had a scow in tow on a hawser. The dredge had been sunk by being run into by a tug on the morning of April 19th, and lay under water about 500 or 600 feet from the shore.
