Judgment by:
GIBBS J
I have had the advantage of reading the judgments prepared by Stephen J., and by Mason and Wilson JJ. and, for the reasons they have given, I concur in dismissing the appeal. I need only add, in relation to the question on which Stephen J. has reserved his opinion, that in my opinion the heavy weather which the ship experienced was rightly held to be a peril of the sea.
