Were there no other facts in the history of this case, the judgment of this court must condemn the recovery of any amount, A contract of affreightment is subject to the general rule of law that the person who claims compensation must perform every condition precedent of an entire contract before his claim for any amount will be heeded.

He was not then in default, unless he had refused to proceed further with the goods, which is not pretended, or perhaps unless the voyage had been interrupted because of his own careless act. We are not apprised that any negligence of his in this respect is claimed, nor do we find in the record anything to warrant such a contention. The voyage was suspended ‘ -t a time by an act beyond the power of man to control. But the ability to complete the transportation was not necessarily gone; nor does the disposition to perform his contract seem to have
