MEMORANDUM DECISIONS.

lieve that there W'aJ8 an erroneous estimate of the amount actually laden on board, 01' that the cargo was not as advantageously stowed as it could and should have been. As has been stated, there should have been a loss of but 12 per cent. of the cargo space in stowage. The proofs show quite satisfactorily that, allowing for this loss, the cargo capacity of the steamship for the stowage and carriage of ordinary West Coast South American cargo was certainly 2,760 tons. How the mistake occurred is wholly a matter of conjecture. The proofs as to the accuracy of the estimate of the amount laden on board are meager and unsatisfactory. We conclude that to the extent of 367 tons the concession was erroneously allowed, and that there should be a decree for the libelants upon that basis, with interest. The decree is accordingly reversed, with costs of this court to the appellants, with instructions to the district court to decree for the libelll!nts, with costs of that court, and conformably with this opinion. ,
