Syllabus

<p>Collision (§ 45*)—Steam and Sailing Vessels—Fault.</p> <p>A collision at sea at night between a schooner and a steamship going in the same general direction, but on converging courses, heló due solely to the fault of the steamship, which was moving at greater speed, probably in miscalculating the distance between the vessels and keeping-her course too long; the schooner, as the privileged vessel, properly keeping her course and speed.</p> <p>[Ed. Note.—For other cases, see Collision, Cent. Dig. § 51; Dec. Dig. § 45.*]</p>
