Syllabus

<p>Coixision (i 90*)—Tugs and Tows—-Tug Passing prom Sup.</p> <p>The tug McGuirl came out of a slip on North River with tows, when the tug Greenwich, which had just taken two barges from another tow, near the end of the piers, was holding them against the ebb tide and working out into the river. The McGuirl gave the slip signal and also a signal of one whistle, but in attempting to cross the bows of the Greenwich was carried by the tide against one of her tows. Held, on the evidence, that both tugs were in fault; the McGuirl for not waiting until the Greenwich was out of the way, ahd the latter for occupying the river in such a way that she could not recognize a proper signal.</p> <p>[Ed.
