District Court, D. Massachusetts January 31, 1907, No. 1,758 (The Devonian)

DODGE, District Judge.

The British steamship Devonian, bound from Liverpool for Boston, encountered, as she approached the coast of Massachusetts, a northeast snowstorm with heavy wind and high sea, in which she was carried out of her proper course for Boston, after passing Highland Light, so far as to run aground on the Scituate shore.
