After ogo leaving there she struck a rock off Cape Canso which necessitated putting into Halifax where repairs were effected and the voyage resumed. And whereas by reason of the occurrences of the voyage, certain losses and expenses have been incurred, and other losses and expenses here- after ma) be incurred, which may constitute a general average; to be apportioned on the said Vessel, her earnings as Freight and her Cargo, and other losses and expenses have been and may be incurred, which apply to and may be due from specific interests; Now, in consideration of the premises, we, the subscribers, owners, ship- 2643 pers, or consignees (or agents or attorneys of certain owners, shippers or consignees) of said Vessel, her earnings as Freight, or her Cargo, do hereby for ourselves personally, and our prin- cipals and executors and administrators, severally and respectively, but not jointly, or one for the other, covenant and agree to and with Convoy Steamship Company, Ltd., and/or Rodgers & Carr, Inc., as Trustees for all concerned, that all losses and expenses aforesaid, which shall be estes fiat AAAS 2644 265 ZG LG Peer ene ee S82 Claimant’s Exhibits 5 and 6. made to appear to be due from us or our prin- cipals, or from any firm of which we are or have been copartners, either as owners, shippers or consignees, shall be paid by us respectively, ac- cording to the part or share in the said Vessc!, her earnings as Freight, or her Cargo, which shall belong to us or shall belong to or be consigned to any person or persons for whom we are agents, or attorneys, or with whom we are or have been partners or in which we are or have been in any manner concerned, provided that such losses and expenses shall be stated and apportioned by Rodgers & Carr, Ine.

This agreement may be executed in several parts of like tenor and date, the whole of which is to constitute but one agreement, with the same effect as if each of said part) were severally signed by us. Should the value of the services rendered in whole or in part to the cargo be determined bv amicable settlement or by arbitration WE HE RE- BY AGREE to pay, each our rateable proportion of any sum thus fixed or determined upon; and in the event of an action or suit being brought to reeover for such services, WE HEREBY SEVERALLY AGREE to give bond therefor in the same manner as if the salvors had required such bond direct from us before surrendering the cargo; and WE FURTITER AGREE to pay and fully satisfy any final decree that may be rendered, — OE RA SRL te re, See eee 4 We SP Ra Fe: SR te IME KLOET PCT My Pe ee AP LP.

That owing to . engine trouble the steamer put into the Azores in distress. { She sailed from there on July 10th and then put into Cape Breton for coal, When she re- sumed her voyage she struck some obstruction and sprung a leak, filling No. 1 hold with water, making it necessary to put into Halifax in dis- tress. —_— A ET ee Ge ea A Or le te TS Pes 2S a eee SS7 Claimant’s Exhibit 8. The above shipment was stowed in the No. 1 2659 hold and was submerged. The Steamer sailed from Halifax to New York on August 3rd. After arrival at New York the work of dis- charging her cargo of Lemons proceeded, after which the Steamer was taken to the foot of 134th Street, North River. On August 20th we visited her at that pier but found that no work was be- ing done and we were unable to see the ship- ment. We again visited the Steamer on August 23rd and in company of a _ representative of Messrs. Pfizer & Company went aboard the Steamer and into the hold, finding the top tier clear of the water but all the remaining tiers were submerged. The top tier packages had also been submerged. The contents was thoroughly wet and had the consistency of a heavy paste. Messrs. Pfizer & Company’s representative did not consider the Citrate would have any value. The Agents of the Steamship Company stated it was impossible to discharge the casks with the hold one-half full of water and it was im- possible to get the water out of the compartment until the Steamer was placed in dry dock. We have had samples of the Citrate drawn and 2661 have submitted these to a Chemist and are now awaiting his report as to the quantity of Citrate remaining in order to determine if it has suffi- cient value to warrant processing. We fear that there will be little of value, if any. We are submitting this as a preliminary report in the matter. 2660 Pee Pee eT ey Tee Ce TST TEE Ce Appraisers.

NATURE OF LOSS: See Below SHIPMENT C A C 5899/6066—168 Casks Citrate of Lime The steamer “Willdomino” while enroute from Italian ports to New York struck on a rock off Canso and as a result the No. 1 Lower Hold was reported to have been flooded. It is reported that she then proceeded to Hali- fax, where measures were applied to permit of the vessel preceeding on the voyage to New York to where she was towed and arrived on August 7th. When the steamer was berthed at Pier C, Jer- sey City, on August 9th, I proceeded to the pier, when I found that the hatch covers were on the No. 1 Hold and that it was intended to discharge only the cargo of lemons at this pier. Again on August 11th, and 17th, I proceeded to the steamer finding that the No. 1 Hold in which the cask was said to be stowed was not being discharged and that the casks of the above shipment were not accessible. Subsequently on August 24th, the vessel having heen removed to the Pier ft. 135 and North River, I proceeded to that pier and found that the cargo of corkwood was being removed from 905 Claimant's Bahibit 15. the No. 1 Lower Holl, which permitted my exam- ination of the casks, all of which had evidently been submerged in seawater and contents had become heavily wet, caked and discolored. At this time I wrote the General Average Adjusters ree- ommending special care in the discharge of the casks in order to avoid breakage of staves with consequent scattering about of their contents. After which I awaited word as to when to dis- charge of the casks would be completed when a more detailed examination could be made of the casks in company of the consignees. I had, in the meantime, requested consignees to lodge notice of claim in writing with the steam- ship agents, and also suggested they take the necessary steps in order to obtain relief of duty in proportion of the damage sustained. The casks were not discharged at New York, but were left in stowage and the steamer was then placed in drydock, presumely to have the damaged hull surveyed for repairs and on August 28th, I proceeded to the Tiet jen & Lange Drydock at Hoboken, where I found a number of casks had been removed from the Lower Hold and set on the open deck, number of which had staves broken or head staves forced out. I then drew representative samples of the casks which samples I submitted to Messrs, Sherer Bros. Analytical Chemists to have them determine the citric acid contents remaining in the material: the chemist’s subsequent report as follows: Citrie Acid Bulk 40.7% Centre 36.9% Surface 33.7% Bored from Casks 38.7% Ts mtte 2715 2716 2717 2718 906 Claimant’s Exhibit 15. On the above basis the average test was about 37.5% citric acid. Upon communicating with the said chemical company they informed me they were not equipped to handle all of the damaged casks at once and in view of the consequent delay to which the measure part of the casks may be subjected while awaiting to be processed, they were of the opin- jon that the citrate would continue to ferment and thus continually lose more of the citrate acid contents and for that reason alone they were inclined to consider the situation hopeless. Further samples subsequently were drawn by Messrs. Koehler Kemp & Koehler, Surveyors ap- pointed by the General Average Adjuster, analized from 26.3 to 42.8 or an average of 33%, which our assured and also Charles Pfizer & Co., the consignees of 335 casks citrate of lime in similar damaged condition, stated that the 33% was too low to warrant the expense of working material. These tests were submitted to our Philadelphia Office and in turn to Messrs. Powers-Weightman- Rosengarten Co., who also process citrate of lime, and who stated that the cost of extracting the citric acid would be considerably more than the final value of the citric acid obtained and that the material in its damaged condition was abso- lutely worthless for any other purpose. As assured considered the shipment worthless I endeavored to obtain a possible purchaser for the casks and after a short while I finally found a prospect of a buyer with whom I proceeded to the drydock when samples were drawn by him and after several days he made an offer of $2.25 per cask, which offer was so low that I naturally 907 Claimant’s Exhibit 10. rejected it as it would not pay the duty on the shipment. This was the only offer that I could obtain and, after further consideration, it was finally decided to consider the shipment a total loss so far as underwriters were concerned, I believe the casks were sold by the Williams Steamship Co., to the buyer, whom I had interested in the above casks, F.
