LAW OF MARITIME COLLISION.

CHAPTER I.

GENERAL RULES.

of collision.

For the purpose of determining by whom and in what The four cases shares the loss is to be borne, collisions between ships have been divided into four classes. "In the first place, it (collision) may happen without blame being imputable to either party, as where the loss is occasioned by a storm, or other vis major. In that case the misfortune must be borne by the party on whom it happens to light, the other not being responsible to him in any degree. Secondly, a misfortune of this kind may arise where both parties are to blame, where there has been want of due diligence or of skill on both sides; in such a case the rule of law is that the loss must be apportioned between them, as having been occasioned by the fault of both of them. Thirdly, it may happen by the misconduct of the suffering party only; and then the rule is that the sufferer must bear his own burden. Lastly, it may have been the fault of the ship which ran the other down, and in this case the innocent party would be entitled to an entire compensation from the other" (a).
