there, but refused, and on October 7th defendants, claiming a violation of the contract, gave notice of cancellation and thereafter refused to accept any further tenders. Held, that plaintiff had until October 15th in which to tender cotton complying with the contract, and that de fendants' refusal to inspect and accept was premature, and entitled plaintiff to recover damage as for a breach of contract. —McBath v. Jones Cotton Co., 149 Fed. 383.. .....79 C. C. A. 203 § 2. Modification or rescission of contract. In an entire contract for successive deliveries of goods sold, a vendor's breach in the earlier deliveries may relieve the vendee from liability for subsequent deliveries, if prompt notice of refusal to perform is given by the latter. -McDonald v. Kansas City Bolt & Nut Co., 149 Fed. 360..... 79 C. C. A. 298 Immediate notice to the vendor, upon the discovery of his default in the earlier deliveries, that the vendee will not receive subsequent deliveries, or will not further perform, is an indispensable condition of the latter's release from liability for subsequent deliveries which comply with the contract. -McDonald v. Kansas City Bolt & Nut Co., 149 Fed. 360.... 79 C. C. A. 298 Upon discovery of the vendor's breach, the vendee has the option to perform, or to refuse to perform, the remainder of the contract. But silence, delay, or failure to give notice of his choice to refuse is a choice to perform, and it destroys the option. -McDonald v. Kansas City Bolt & Nut Co., 149 Fed. 360..... 3. Performance of contract. 79 C. C. A. 298 The rules applicable to an anticipatory breach of a contract apply as well to one party as to the other. The general rule applicable to a contract for sale and future delivery of articles not specifically designated is that a buyer cannot reject a delivery conformable to the contract, when made in time, merely because there had been a prior tender of goods not conformable and rejected on that ground. -McBath v. Jones Cotton Co., 149 Fed. 383..... 4. Remedies of buyer. ..79 C. C. A. 203 The difference between the value of the goods furnished and the value of the goods the vendor agreed to furnish constitutes the measure of damages the vendee is entitled to recover for a failure to furnish articles of an agreed character, in the absence of knowledge of special circumstances which make other damages natural and probable, because these are the only damages that would naturally flow from the breach of such a contract in the usual course of events. -McDonald v. Kansas City Bolt & Nut Co., 149 Fed. 360.... 1. Right to compensation. SALVAGE. The Return, having broken her shaft, was floating helplessly on the Ohio river, when she made signals of distress to libelants' steamboat, in response to which the latter made fast its tow to a telegraph pole on the river bank and went to the Return's assistance. The Return was without means to get out a line, and was in grave peril of drifting against the wall of a dam, or another obstruction below, when libelants' vessel took her to a landing. Held, that the service rendered by libelants' vessel was voluntary, and constituted a salvage service. -Neel v. Iron City Sand Co., 149 Fed. 980.. .79 C. C. A. 490 2. Amount and apportionment. A decree awarding libelants $25, and directing each party to pay their own costs, was inadequate; libelants being entitled to at least $100, with costs in the trial court. -Neel v. Iron City Sand Co., 149 Fed. 980. § 3. Lien and recovery. .79 C. C. A. 490 Where a charge for landing a steamer in distress was really a claim for salvage, it was rightfully cognizable by a court of admiralty in a proceeding wherein the members of the salving vessel's crew could participate; and hence such claim was properly withdrawn from an action by the owner of the salving vessel in a state court against the owner of the vessel saved to recover on an account for services rendered, etc. -Neel v.

Where a fireman on a tug was injured in the course of his employment, the fact that the tug was engaged in comparatively short coast-wise trips did not relieve her from the usual obligation of a vessel to her crew to furnish care and maintenance to effect a cure. -The Mars, 149 Fed. 729.... .79 C. C. A. 435 The obligation of a vessel to furnish medical attendance, etc., to a seaman injured in her service does not end with the termination of the voyage, where there was not sufficient time or facilities for the vessel to have then performed its duty. -The Mars, 149 Fed. 729.... ...79 C.

C. A. 435 Where libelant, a fireman on a tug, was scalded while attempting to tighten the packing on the valve of an ash hoist, resulting from his turning a screw the wrong way and the machinery was not materially defective, the tug was not liable for his injuries. -The Mars, 149 Fed. 729....

See "Admiralty"; "Collision"; "Salvage"; "Seamen"; "Towage"; "Wharves.” Instructions as to contributory negligence of passenger on vessel, see "Negllgence," § 1. § 1. Carriage of passengers. Defendant operated a passenger boat between the city of Cincinnati and a pleasure resort a few miles up the river. Passengers in going to and from the vessel at Cincinnati passed over a wharfboat, between which and the steamer there was a railed bridge three feet wide, and on the side of the steamer, where it rested, there was a space in the railing nine feet wide. Guards were usually stationed at such space on either side of the bridge to protect passengers going off the boat from stepping or falling off. Plaintiff's intestate, a boy 12 years old, with his mother, her sister, and two small children, returned on the boat late one evening with some 1.000 other passengers. There was much crowding at the bridge, and each of the women carried a child. In passing onto the bridge in some way plaintiff's intestate went to one side, and fell between the boats and was drowned. There was evidence tending to show that there were no guards stationed at the sides of the bridge. Held, that the question of defendant's negligence was one for the jury. -Coney Island Co. v.
