The noun strand originally signifies any shore of a sea or (navigable) stream. Hence, to strand is for a vessel to ran upon the shore, or to run a ve.ssel upon the shore; and stranding, in the general sense, is any beaching or running ashore of a vessel. But with reference to the word stranding, as used in a policy, a narrower construction must be applied; for not all cases of stranding are within the provisions as to stranding. To constitute a stranding, within insurance law, the ship must be in the down on the obstructing bank, rooks, &o., not a mere striking; and the vessel must take the ground by reason of extraordinary casualty, and not as one of the ordinary incidents of a voyage.
