Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: . . . Justice Clifford, in McAndrezvs v. Thatcher, 1 that no interest is compelled to contribute to the loss or expense, which was not benefited by the sacrifice, in substance he found that the expense of salving the ship, after the cargo was removed, exceeded, by two-thirds, the cost of unloading and delivering the cargo to its owners by lighters; and that, accordingly, the cargos proportion of the subsequent salvage was so very much greater than the benefit which it would have received from the subsequent salvage, by having the ships value preserved for contributory purposes, that there never could reasonably have been an expectation that the subsequent salvage operation on the ship would benefit the cargo. His findings amount, therefore, to holding that the voyage was in effect broken up by the stranding, and that the community of interests should be deemed to have ended, under the special circumstances, with the unloading of the cargo. The case of LAmerique does not lay down any fixed rule as to the line of demarcation between cases such as are referred to in the statement of Justice Clifford in McAndrews v. Thatcher, 2 and that which was before the Court. No definite rule on the subject can be stated with confidence. The result of the decisions seems to be that when a vessel strands near her destination and her cargo is discharged and delivered at destination by lighters, or other similar means, the salvage and other extraordinary expenses up to the time of delivery of the cargo are general average, and the subsequent expenses of floating the ship are chargeable to the ship unless she is floated without much expense or delay after the cargo has been delivered. 3 Wall. , at p. 369.
