The court construed the caveat, the subsequent acknowledgement and the bail bond consistently: the word 'owners' was limited to beneficial owners of the vessels and did not include demise charterers; accordingly there was no admiralty in rem jurisdiction against the owners in respect of claims that lie against the demise charterer and the plaintiffs' primary and subsidiary cases failed.
