repairs  to  the  ship,  the  freighter,  as  we  have  seen  {q),  is  entitled  to

claim  the  amount  of  the  proceeds,   or,   if  the  ship  arrives,  the

amount  they  would  have  realised  at  the  port  of  destination,  after

deducting  freight  and  charges.
The  same  is  true  where  the  sale  has  been  wrongful.     But  if  the

goods  were  sold  in  a  damaged,  or  perishing,  condition,  and  the

shipowner  was  not  responsible  for  that,  their  condition  must  be

taken  into  account.     The  amount  to  be  ascertained  is  what  the

goods  would  have  been  worth  to  their  owners  had  they  not  been

sold,  as  they  lay,  and  paying  regard  to  the  obligations  of  the

carrier  under  the  contract  (r).
