RUSSELL E. SMITH, District Judge:
The district court awarded salvage to Tidewater Salvage, Inc. (Tidewater) for salving logs owned by Weyerhaeuser Company (Weyerhaeuser) and found floating in Coos Bay, a navigable water of the United States. It denied an award claimed by Tidewater for logs found stranded on the beaches of Coos Bay. Weyerhaeuser has appealed from the award of salvage as to the floating logs, and Tidewater has cross-appealed from the denial of salvage as to the logs found ashore. For reasons somewhat different from those advanced by the district court, we affirm the judgment.
