Most-quoted passages
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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The allowance of salvage is based upon two considerations — one, of public policy, which suggests a liberal bounty to induce vessels and water craft to-turn aside from their regular course and endure the hardships and perils of removing dangerous wrecks from the pathway of commerce; and the other, to restore the wreck of disabled vessel to the owner, and the service which is adequately commensurate with, the successful performance of the undertaking is * * * of high- merit, and the award is therefore measured accordingly.””
