Art. 324. The lender at respondentia, on goods laden on board a vessel desiguated in the contract, is not to bear the loss of the goods, even when occasioned by the perils of the sea, if they have been shipped on board another vessel, unless it be legally proved that this shipment was the effect of superior force.
