Anlage G 67 



landed but would thereupon have beeu subjected to seizure we tbink the 

 U/Wrs. would be entitled to au extra premium for the deviatiou. Whether 

 the assured (a) refused to give iustructious or (b) gave instructious would, 

 we think, make no difference, the question being whether the voyage was 

 prosecuted with reasonable despatch, but, as to the positiou after discharge 

 at some other place, as already indicated the expiratiou of the ten days 

 would make uo difference because the goods had not reached their destination 

 and the ten days never began to run. Of course if the assured abandoned 



the voyage at that would make a change of voyage in respect 



of which he would be entitled to be covered until arrival at the new 

 destination, and we think, ten days thereafter: the U/Wrs. being entitled to 

 an additional premium for the changed risk. 



(4). In the case of the steamer leaving to return with the cargo 



to Europe, the assured refusing to give any Instructions, we are inclined to 

 think this might be a change of voyage, but we feel some doubt about it. 

 We should certainly advise the assured in such a case to effect a new policy. 



We do not think his rights one way or the other would be affected by 

 his giving or refusing to give Instructions. 



(5). In the case of the steamer leaving under Instructions of 



the assured and under a new contract of affreightment, we are inclined to 

 agree that this would be an entirely new venture which in all probability 

 would terminate the risk on the policy. 



It is an extremely difficult thing to deal with these hypothetical cases 

 so much depends in every case upon the particular facts. 



Iu any case where the cargo could be discharged at and 



would have been discharged but for the fear of its being seized on discharge, 



seing that the policy is described-as "to " and the vessel actually 



arrived there, we think that there is a risk that it might be held that it was 

 not open to the assured on the vessel's arrival at the port of destination to 

 embark on a new voyage at the U/Wrs. risk. The very fact that the deviation 

 clause is so wide that it would appear to cover everything that the assured 

 might choose to do at any time is a reason why a more limited Interpre- 

 tation would be put upon it than the words seem to indicate. 



Yours truly 

 WILLIAM A. CRUMP & SON.
