Syllabus

<p>Collision — Evidence—Mutual Fault.</p> <p>A collision having occurred between a naphtha launch proceeding up the Christiana river on the right side, and a tug, with a barge in tow, proceeding down the river on the same side, held, that the tug was at fault for being on the wrong side of the river, and for not seasonably signaling, and the launch in fault for stubbornly holding her course after learning that the tug had a tow and that a collision would be inevitable, unless the launch changed her course.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 10, Collision, §§ 52, 73-77, 187-192.</p> <p>Signals of meeting vessels, see note to The New York, 30 C. O. A. 630.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
