These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

It is further contended, inasmuch as by the law of the states of New York and New Jersey no liens are given for death claims, while a maritime lien does exist for the damages received by the Catskill, that this entitles the Catskill to a priority for her claim over the death claims. I cannot sustain this contention. Section 4284 of the Revised Statutes [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 2943], providing for the distribution of the proceeds upon a surrender of the vessel, declares that the proceeds shall be distributed among the claimants “in proportion to their respective losses’; and no distinction is made between the different kinds of damage, whether to property or person. Injuries to person and loss of life are held to be claims within the scope of the statute (In re Long Island North Shore Passenger & Freight Transp. Co., 5 Fed. 599 , 624; Butler v. Steamship Co., 130 U. S. 527 , 552, 9 Sup. Ct 612 [ 32 L. Ed. 1017 ]), and recovery in personam against the owners of the vessel for loss of life is restrained upon the surrender of the vessel in proceedings under the statute (section 4285 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 2944]).. It is evident, therefore, that the státute not only makes the fund derived from the sale of the vessel a fund applicable to all claims pro rata (see, also, rule 55 in admiralty), but that it bars all other remedy. The necessary effect of this is to make every admissible claim a statutory lien upon the fund. The fund must be distributed, therefore, according to ”
