The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It, is contended for the vessel that they were loosened by the heavy weather upon the voyage. This contention rests upon evidence that more or less severe weather was encountered, that there had been no leakage around the bolts upon previous voyages, and that the vessel was in an apparently sound and seaworthy condition when she received a general overhauling and inspection some two years before. There is no evidence of a later inspection of the bolts, and none that they received any injury upon the voyage beyond the wear and tear ordinarily incident to a voyage of that character and duration. In the most favorable view for the appellant, the presumptions authorized by the evidence are as consistent with the conclusion that the holts were loose at the inception of the «voyage as that they were loosened by any unusual strains to which they were subsequently subjected.””
