It is stated as a general principle of shipping w that the damage aris. ing out of such an accident shall be born by the owner, the shipper of cargo, and the charterer who receives freight, in proportion their respective interest in the vessel. The value of the Quarta is about 250,000 yen, and the cargo about 50,000 yen, while the freight receivable by the Shosen Kaida is not more than 5,000 yen.
