Q

Quae enim res in tempestate, levandae navis causa, ejiciuntur, hae dominorum permanent. Quia palam est, eos non eo animo ejici, quod quis habere velit.

Latin. Those goods which are thrown overboard in a storm, for the purpose of easing the ship, remain the property of the owners. Because it is evident that those articles are not willfully cast away, which every one desires to preserve.
