1Opinion of the Court
FRANK, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a decree in favor of libellants for damage to 1,171 bags of cocoa beans shipped on board the Nor wegian steamship Asturias from Ilheos and Bahia, Brazil, to New York. These bags were part of a shipment of 18,000 bags consigned to libellants, which, in turn, constituted about half of the vessel’s total cargo of 36,500 bags. The bags were admittedly received by the ship in apparent good order, and as a result of the damage, which is not disputed here, 1,171 stained bags had to be reconditioned and 7,912 pounds of skimmings had to be destroyed.
