difficulty in towing her, and it took between fifty and sixly hours to bring her in. It was difficult and dangerous work, as the steamers might collide. The Glenmavis was over 2,000 tons, and heavily-Inden, and my vessel was light, and unadapted for towing, so our rate was only about four knots an hour. I got her safely here, uninjured. I afterwards tried to get my share of the salvage, and repeatedly spoke to Mr. Temes, telling him I and the crew had a right 10 some portion of it.
By the Court I never said I had a right to any myself. For some time after the payment we thought we should be paid, but after two or three months there was a good deal of dissatis- faction among the officers, and more particularly the engineers. The chief engineer asked me when it was going to be paid, and when I replied that I didn't know he gave me to understand that another time the steamer would be "unable" to tow a disabled vessel.. I spoke about it generally to Mr. Tomes, and he never said it would not be paid. On another occasion, in 1885, $200 or $300 belonging to the ship was stolen, and I said to Mr. Tomes "Look here, Tomes, if you'll pay that salvage money I let this drop," meaning that Lwould refund the money if he would pay me my share of the salvage. left the Company's service in September last, after having been in it about a dozen years. I was then getting $100 á month. I had something else in view, being practically independent. Nothing of the award has been paid to me or anyone else on the Zafiro.
By Mr. Francis-I think I have been badly used by the Company, and feel that I have several claims on the Company, for things I brought out. I am now running in opposition to them. I was largely interested as an original promoter in the steamers which the Company now has, and held shares. In a certain sense I am independent. When I stated in my affidavit that I believed if I made a claim for salvage 1 should lose my position, I meant that as a servant I could not sue them without having to leave. Russell and Co. are the general managers and large shareholders. I do not think I should have been actually turned out, but it would have created a good deal of 1- feeling. I undoubtedly put forward my claim repeatedly. I looked upon this all along as a salv age service, although I called it towage in the agreement. I never heard that any action was commenced against the Glenmavis for towage I thought they paid promptly. When I left the Zafire the majority of the original crew were still there. One of the engineers and one of the mates was still there, 1 put in a formal claim, but I never claimed a definite sum, in writing. I do not remember mentioning 400 I may have stated what I expected. I have expressed my willingness to accept $1,500 in setilement. There was a moderate monsoon when we spoke the Glenmavis, and a heavy swell. She carried sail part of the time. I lost the log-book when the Zafiro was stranded in 1885. I do not recollect the signal-1-think it was "Urgent assistance." It was "Wish to communicate," Our crew was three mates, three engineers, three quartermasters, and 46 Chinese sailors, superintended everything. None of them have put in a claim, for similar reasons to mine.
1.
By the Court I have always been friendly with the Company, and I did not write to them to ask for the money because I never thought of it
His Lordship pointed out that the case was very stale, and that it seemed something like an afterthought as though, having joined an opposition Company, he was raking up an old- grievance.
By Mr. Robinson-The Glenmavis carried sail, but it only cased us, without assisting her.
Mr. Francis, for the defence, simply quoted a number of recent cases of salvage, in which the master got from 1-10th to 1-24th of the award,
Charles A. Tomes, partner in Russell & Co., general managers of the China and Manila Steamship Co. said :-I was in charge of the shipping department in 1884. The firm received $8000 from the Glenmavis for services rendered la that year, the services being understood to be for, and paid as, towage. The first I heard of it being a salvage claim was when Captain Talbot made a claim on behalf of one of the engineers, who was leaving, some months after. He said he had been asked by the engineers to claim their share. I thought they were not entitled to it. I do not remember that be reported the affair at first as salvage. He never made any claim on his own account until he had left. He never spoke to me on the matter before, I have learnt recently that it was salvage service. He told me at the time he left that he was going to claim for that and other services,
By Mr. Robinson-1 heard from him that there was a deal of dissatifaction about the matter, but we did not pay. Captain Talbot did not suggest that we should not pay.
Alex. Cobham, the mate of the Zafiro, said he sighted the Glenmavit first. She was signalling "Something important to communicate." The wind was then a moderate south-wester, with Хитру вед. They had trouble in fixing the hawsers, but he did not recollect any breaking. There was no actual danger.
By Mr. RobinsonThe signal was not "Urgent." There might have been serious danger if the Zafro had been unskilfully handled. I do not recollect more than one hawier break- ing, but they might have broken when I was off duty.
Mr. Francis, in defence, urged that the case was simply a case of towage, and that in difficult cases of salvage much less sums than that claimed were usually awarded. He admitted that there was some amount due to the plaintiff, and left it to his Lordship.

Mr. Robinson, in reply, submitted that the plaintiff took a certain risk in deviating from bis course, having a perishable cargo, and that the fact that the hawaers broke several times was evidence of the difficulty in towing the Glen mavia. He also pointed out the necessity for adequately rewarding captains and crews for their risk and labour to encourage them to assist distressed vessels. The defendants had never attempted to settle the case out of Court, and it | (John xx. 11, 12), had been actually necessary for the plaintiff to commence an action to obtain his rights.
