1. The plaintiffs allege that they shipped 30 bales of cotton goods from Hong Kong to Port of Spain, Trinidad; that under a policy of marine insurance the defendants insured them for £1,925 against perils of the sea, risk of damage caused by sea, rain, and fresh water; and that during the voyage, whilst the plaintiffs were interested, the 30 bales were so damaged by sea water that they were a total loss.
