Argued March 5, 1968.

Decided May 3, 1968.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk; Walter E. Hoffman, Judge.

Braden Vandeventer, Jr., Norfolk, Va. (Morton H. Clark, and Vandeventer, Black, Meredith Martin, Norfolk, Va., on brief), for appellant.

Jack E. Greer, Norfolk, Va. (Williams, Cocke, Worrell Kelly, Norfolk, Va., on brief), for appellee.

Before HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge, BRYAN, Circuit Judge, and RUSSELL, District Judge.


This appeal presents essentially factual questions. We accept the District Court's findings, for they are more than adequately supported, and, for the reasons stated by it, affirm its conclusion that Merritt-Chapman Scott Corporation was not responsible for the loss of the barge.

Tidewater Construction Corp. v. Southern Materials Co., E.D.Va., 269 F. Supp. 1000.

Affirmed.
