But  where  a  vessd  with  a  cargo  on  board  took  the  grouna  on  two
successive  days  in  going  up  Cork  harbour,  under  the  direction  of  a  pilot,
and  being  afterwards  moored  in  the  usual  course,  was  thrown  on  her
broadside  by  the  receding  of  the  tide,  and  received  considerable  injury :
It  was  decided,  that  this  was  not  a  stranding  within  the  meaning  of  that
term  in  a  memorandum  at  the  bottom  of  a  policy  of  insurance  (i).
Where,  during  the  course  of  a  vojrage  on  an  inland  canal,  it  became
necessary,  in  order  to  repair  the  canal,  to  draw  off  the  water ;  and  the
ship,  in  consequence,  having  been  placed  in  the  most  secure  situation  that
could  be  founc^  when  tlie  water  was  drawn  off,  took  the  ground  by  acci*
dent  on  some  piles,  which  were  not  previously  known  to  be  there :  the
Court  were  of  opinion,  that  this  was  a  stranding  within  the  usual  memo-
randum in  the  policy,  the  accident  not  having  happened  in  the  ordinary
course  of  the  voyage  (a).  Where  there  is  a  warranty  in  a  policy  of  in-
surance against  average,  "  unless  general,  or  the  ship  be  stranded ;"  if,
during  the  voyage,  the  ship  be  forced  ashore  by  the  wmd,  or  driven  on  a
hank,  and  remain  fast  for  any  time,  this  is  a  sufficient  stranding  to  do
