Description
This is a libel in rem to recover for personal injuries sustained by a passenger on the steamship Kungsholm of the Swedish American Line, while on a cruise to the West Indies. The owners amended answer set up that the libeland had failed to comply with the provisions of the contract of transportation requiring a written notice of claim to be "lodged with the Carrier at 21 State Street, New York, N.Y., U.S.A., within thirty days after the passenger leaves the steamer." That issue was referred do a special master who found that the libeland had mailed within the prescribed time a letter which the carrier had never received, and reported that the provisions of the ticket had not been complied with. His report was confirmed and a decree entered dismissing the libel.
