obligations could possibly have caused or contributed

to the failure of the several units of machinery aboard

the ''Urania."

The failure in performance of appellees' obligations

to repair the vessel render appellees liable upon the

cross-libel for resultant damages. Thus, in the Pari-

American case, supra, the court said, at page 106 :

"To deliver over the ship with the wires double-

crossed was not good workmanship and was not

a compliance with the contract under which the

respondent agreed with the libelant to perform

certain work upon the ship, including that of

overhauling and adjusting the engine room tele-

graph 'according to good steamship practice and

with workmanship of the best quality'."

Damages

Of the fifteen items of damage set forth in the cross-

Hbel (Aps. 20-21), appellant waived its claim to some

items during trial, values were stipulated by proctors

as to some items, and on other items appellant offered

uncontradicted proof as to values and payment. To

simplify consideration of these items on this appeal

the following tabulation has been made showing the

disposition of each item.
