B. Loss of Cargo during voyage

Agent: Well, Captain, the inspection held this morning
showed complete destruction of the cargo of
sheet glass delivered by your vessel.
The consignees claim damages in the sum of $ 651.
Captain: I anticipated a claim on their part, and it is
just this reason that I declared the Sea Protest.
In the Protest I stated that the loss had been
caused by "perils, dangers and accidents of the
sea" and not "neglect or default of the Master,
mariner, pilot or the servants of the carrier
in the navigation or in the management of the
ship", as provided by corresponding articles
of the Hague Rules incorporated in the Bills of
Lading. Relying on these articles, we decline
any liability on our part.
