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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a loss arises from one of Hie excepted perils fin that ease breakage] the ship is prima facie excused, and she can only be held liable upon affirmative proof that some negligence on her part was the efficient cause of the loss. * * * Conversely, where the loss is not by an excepted peril, the carrier takes the risk of explaining the cause of damage and of proving it to be a sea peril. It is insufficient for him 1o negative certain causes of loss: if on the whole the damage is unexplained, the ship in such ease remains liable, because she has taken that risk.””
