District Court, S.D. New York May 6, 1901 (The Oneida)

BROWN, District Judge.

At 4 a. m. of Monday, September 21, 1897, tbe steamship Oneida, then on a voyage to Boston from Jacksonville and Charleston, loaded with lumber and cotton, turned her course to New York in order to right a list, which had increased from the time the steamer left Charleston to about 22° to starboard, so that the master feared to continue the voyage.
