ion of one-third. In the case of _ships generally_:-- In the case of all ships, the expense of straightening bent ironwork, including labour of taking out and replacing it, shall be allowed in full. Graving dock dues, including expenses of removals, cartages, use of shears, stages and graving dock materials, shall be allowed in full. RULE XIV.--TEMPORARY REPAIRS No deductions "new for old" shall be made from the cost of temporary repairs of damage allowable as G.A. RULE XV.--LOSS OF FREIGHT Loss of freight arising from damage to or loss of cargo shall be made good as G.A., either when caused by a G.A. act or when the damage to or loss of cargo is so made good. RULE XVI.--AMOUNT TO BE MADE GOOD FOR CARGO LOST OR DAMAGED BY SACRIFICE The amount to be made good as G.A. for damage or loss of goods sacrificed shall be the loss which the owner of the goods has sustained thereby, based on the market values at the date of the arrival of the vessel or at the termination of the adventure. RULE XVII.--CONTRIBUTORY VALUES The contribution to a G.A. shall be made upon the actual values of the property at the termination of the adventure, to which shall be added the amount made good as G.A. for property sacrificed; deduction being made from the shipowner's freight and passage-money at risk, of such port charges and crew's wages as would not have been incurred had the ship and cargo been totally lost at the date of the G.A. act or sacrifice, and have not been allowed as G.A.; deduction being also made from the value of the property of all charges incurred in respect thereof subsequently to the G.A. act, except such charges as are allowed in G.A. Passengers' luggage and personal effects, not shipped under bill of lading, shall not contribute to G.A.

The above rules differ in some important respects from English common law, and from former English practice.
