““If the duty undertaken by him is difficult he must use commensurate care and skill. The Margaret, 94 U. S. 494 , 496, 24 L. Ed. 146 ; The L. P. Dayton, 120 U. S. 337 , 351, 7 S. Ct. 568 , 30 L. Ed. 669 . Negligence is a question depending upon the circumstances of each case, and can rarely be absolutely defined as a matter of law. The ease ■at bar presents some unusual features.
