His Lordship did not think that the plaintiffs really thought chen that the vessel was a hope. less derelict nor that there was real danger of it being proved after the valuations that the cost of repair would amount to 800,000 kroner or that they' were really going to be faced with a claim Tor. that amount. What they did see clearly was that they were going to be liable on the basis of particular average loss for a very large and uncertain Famount.

His Lordship did not think the agreement amounted to a coMPRCH, mise for constructive total kiss. What the underwriters did was to say 485,000 kroner instead of 800,000 kroner and to take the ship: The question was, what was the application of the worda "arranged total loss" in the policy, to that state of Zacts. They were curious words which would be dearly alleged if they were held to refer to a case where there was a real claim for total. | loss, and it was cob promised by some payment, but they could not include a case in which an agree ment was put on the basis of total loss by arrangement. There must be either constructive total Tons or a claim for constructive total loss. Which claim was arranged? There was no such claim in this case and plati rs accordingly failed.
