Syllabus

<p>1. Collision — Steam Tug and Schooneb.</p> <p>A tug held solely in fault for a collision with a schooner on a’ crossing course for persisting in her course, on the theory that the schooner would not run out her tack which she was privileged to do, with the duty resting on the tug to keep out of her way.</p> <p>2. Same — Damages—Evidence.</p> <p>Hearsay testimony introduced on a hearing before a commissioner to determine the damages caused by collision must be treated as of no probative force, although not objected to until the filing of exceptions to the commissioner’s report, and will not warrant a finding not supported by other evidence.</p> <p>jf 2. See Admiralty, vol. 1, Cent. Dig. § 618.</p>
