The sum awarded was for certain salvage services rendered by the libelant in putting out a fire in the cargo of sulphur stowed in the hold of the bark Elmbank, while the vessel was being discharged at a wharf in the port of San Francisco. See 62 F. 306, for opinion of district court, and 16 C.C.A. 164, 69 F. 104, for opinion of the circuit court of appeals. Upon the entry of the decree, the claimants of the ship and cargo, instead of paying the amount of the award to the libelant, and securing a satisfaction of the decree, deposited the sum in the registry of the court, and obtained a full satisfaction of record, and the entry of an order that the several bonds given by the claimants for the release of the vessel and cargo be exonerated.
