or agreed or intended place of discharge in such port or to

shall constitute delivery and performance under this
contract and the Carrier shall be freed from any further
responsibility, unless it be shown that any loss or damage
to the goods arose from Carrier's negligence in the
discharge and delivery as herein provided, the burden of
establishing such negligence being on the owner of the
goods.  For any service rendered to the goods as
hereinabove provided or for any delay or expense to the
vessel caused as a result thereof, the Carrier shall be
entitled to a reasonable extra compensation, and shall have
lien on the goods for such charge.   Notice of disposition

authorities, or by the operator or person in charge of any
lighter, craft, wharf, store, warehouse, elevator or other
facilities, whether selected by Shipper Consignee or owner

information or otherwise comply with laws and regulations
in connection with the goods.  The Carrier's lien shall
survive delivery and may be enforced by private or public
sale and without notice.

goods.  Full freight to destination shall be considered

unless such fire shall be caused by their design or
neglect.  
    
    16.   In case or any loss or damage or in connection
with goods exceeding in actual value the equivalent of $500
lawful money of the United States, per package, or in case
of goods not shipped in package, per shipping unit, the
value of the goods shall be deemed to be $500 per package
or per shipping unit.  The Carrier's liability if any,
shall be determined on the basis of a value of $500 per
package or per shipping unit or pro rate in case of partial
loss or damage, unless the nature of the goods and a

damage shall be adjusted pro rata on the basis of such
declared value.  The words "shipping unit"  shall mean each
physical unit or piece of cargo not shipped in a package,

from all liability in respect of loss, damage, or
misdelivery or in respect of any other breach of this
contract, whether occurring before loading, on board or
after discharge, unless suit is brought within one year
after delivery of the shipment on the date when the
shipment should have been delivered.  Suit should not be
deemed brought unless jurisdiction shall have been obtained
over the Carrier and/or the vessel by service of process or
by an agreement to appear.  The Shipper, Consignee holder
hereof or owner of the goods and their assignees, subrogees
or representatives shall file any and all claims directly
with the Carrier or other party responsible for any loss,
damage, injury, expense not occurring on its own ocean
route, nor while the goods are not in its actual custody
and control.  Upon written request, the Carrier will
furnish Shipper, Consignee, holder hereof and/or owner of
the goods with original bills of lading, receipts,
consignment notes or other documents being held for their
benefit which may be required to file claim against any
other carriers or parties.  
    
    18.   Any bookings, freight engagements, dock receipts,
boat notes, interchanges or other agreements relating to
the shipment previously made are superseded by this bill of
lading and the Carrier's Freight Tariff Rules and
Regulations, which shall be deemed incorporated herein as
