Be that as it may, however, I think the three cases to which my lord has it is quite clear upon the authority of

faets are carefully considered that it to be clear to demonstration when the there had been no tort committeed by the defendant, still the plaintiff would have lost the use of his vessel over the four days in question; and, that being so, he has not suffered any damage by reason of the fact that he was pre vented from profitably using his vessel during the four days in question. He would have been in exactly the same position if there never had been a col lision and there never had been a dent in the plates of the ship. For these reasons I agree with my lord that these damages cannot be recovered.
