““ ‘To constitute seaworthiness of the hull of a vessel in respect to cargo, the hull must be so tight, staunch, and strong as to be competent to resist all ordinary action of the sea, and to prosecute and complete the voyage without damage to the cargo.’ * * * In view of this rule, as to what constitutes seaworthiness, it has been uniformly held that if a vessel springs a leak, and founders', soon after starting upon her voyage, without having encountered any storm or other peril to which the leak can be attributed, the presumption is that she was unseaworthy when she sailed.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“"Where a vessel, soon after Leaving port, becomes leaky, without stress of weather, or other adequate cause of injury, the presumption is that she was unsound before setting' sail.””
