these (iireumstances, the· court below was unquestionably right in bolding that negligence could not be ascribed to them by reason of the existence of a defective conditiQn of the drawbridge which they knew but made .no effort to remedy. There is nothing in the evidence which would have justified a finding that the bridge tender violated any duty which was owing to the appellant, by refusing to allow the tug to open the bridge. So far as appears, he honestly believed that, if the tug were permitted to attempt to swing the bridge, it would be likely to cause further breakage. He had a right to exercise his best judgment upon the subject, and would have been derelict if he had not done so; and, indeed, we see no reason to doubt that the judgment ·which he acted upon was a just one. There was no lack of diligence in causing the bridge to be opened. The period which ensued, from 3 o'clock in the afternoon of one day until before 10 o'clock the next morning, was not an unreasonable one. under the ciroumstances. The decree of the district court is afflrmed.
