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 practice of towing a rudderless scow with square ends hy a line fixed to one corner of the bow is new to us. It is said to be followed for the purpose of keeping the scow clear of the .tug’s wash, the scow under such circumstances towing steadily on one side or the other of the tug, according as the line is fixed to the port or starboard comer. Several of the witnesses say that the effect of towing the scow from her port corner would be to keep her on the starboard side of the tug. We think this cannot be so.””
