    insurance on and from her lading'Tn the province of Yucatan, to NewYork.”
    
    The vessel while taking st Angostura, in the pro-an open was a that the term port must be understood in reference to the voyage described in the policy; and there being no regular ports or harbours in the province of Yucatan, that Angostura and such places are there called ports ; and in reference to tjhe contract, are to lie considered as so understood by the parties, and that the insured were, therefore, entitled to recover for a total loss. See ante, p. ¡20,
    THIS was an action on a policy of insurance on the brig Sally, dated 25th September, 1810, valued at the sum insured; “at and from her last port of lading in the province of Yucatan, to NewVnrb
    
    _ e . e This cause was tried at the same time with the last cause, and there was the same evidence and the same proofs, offered and rejected; except that the Sally went from Sisal to Angostura, in the province of Yucatan, having obtained a permit from the custom-house at Merida, to take in a cargo of logwood, and to sail from Angostura to New-York. Angostura, like Sisal and Silam, is an open road; and the Sally was anchored about a mile from the shore, on the 5th October, 1810, for the purpose of taking ia her cargo, which was ready for her. She began to take in her cargo, by means of boats, under the inspection of a custom-house officer, and continued loading until the 19th October, when the wind began to blow hard, and during the night increased to a violent storm, which continued with a very heavy sea, until the 23d October, when the vessel, after losing her windlass by a heavy sea, parted her cable, and was driven on shore and lost.
    The master of the Sally testified that Sisal, Silam and Angostura are called ports, by the custom-house officers, and others; and that there were no proper harbours on the coast of Yucatan, except for small vessels.
   Per Curiam.

The policy on this vessel ivas, at and from her port of lading in the province of Yucatan, to New-York.” She was at the port of Angostura in that province, receiving her return cargo, when she was lost. This was one of the usual and customary places for delivering and receiving cargoes, on the coast of Yucatan, and as much of a port as any other place of lading within the province. This case, therefore, comes precisely within the reasoning adopted in the forme" case, and the motion for a new trial ought also to be denied.
