By way of further defence the defendants say that on the 18th January, 1907, there occurred in the harbour a violent, squall, between 12.30 and 3 p.m. and therefore if a pile-driver was blown on to any vessel.be- longing to the plaintiffs it was not through any negligence on the part of the defendants, their servants" or agents, but that it was the sudda, violent and trrestible act of natura which it was impossible to foreste.
