1Opinion of the Court

PEE CURIAM.

The facts have been fully and ably considered in the opinic n of Hazel, District Judge, 279 Fed. 895. On consideration of the record we believe that that opinion sufficiently shows that libelant has not shown by a fair preponderance of evidence that tiie grounding of its steamer was caused b 7 any negligence on the part of the vessels proceeded against, or either of them.
