An intervening libel was also filed by Captain Lie on behalf of the cargo of the Selja, and a separate suit wasbrought by the charterers of the Selja to recover their chartered freight. The three cases were consoli dated for trial and referred to a Commissioner to take the evidence. After a lengthy hearing before the Com missioner the case was argued before the court and both vessels were held in fault. The cargo interest and later the freight interest were allowed a full recovery, and the libelant was also allowed a full recovery on behalf Of the officers and crew of the Selja (no ap peal being taken by either side from this part of the decree).
