Syllabus

<p>Shipping—Charter Hire—Disablement of Vessel by Stranding.</p> <p>Where a steamship under a time charter was disabled by stranding so that during the remainder of the voyage she was not in the condition required by the charter, the charter hire nevertheless runs after she reached port and while discharging, when the disablement did not affect her efficiency to discharge, although there was delay, owing to damage to the cargo resulting from the stranding.</p> <p>[Ed. Note.—For cases in point, see vol. 44, Cent Dig. Shipping, §§- 219-221.]</p>
