Davis in Durban agreed to sell 1,000 tons of South African carrots to Ben in London, f.o.b. Durban, in four equal instalments in April, May, July, and August. The price of $10,000 per instalment was payable in advance.

Ben nominated the m.v. Nassau to transport the first shipment, stating that she would be ready to load on April 9th. On the 8th of April, Davis had the goods delivered to the docks, where they were housed in an unrefrigerated warehouse. It took until April 29th for the m.v. Nassau to arrive. Despite the fact that her scheduled arrival date was April 9th, information in the maritime press suggested she would be delayed.

Many of the carrots were found to be rotting during loading, so Ben's agents instructed the stevedores to load only those that were fit for food. At a significant additional cost, 300 tons were eventually loaded. The m.v. Manama was nominated by Ben to carry the second installment.

The vessel was filled with 200 tons on July 2nd and sailed on July 4th. On July 12th, she was declared a total loss, but Ben had not insured the shipment since he was waiting for Davis to notify him of the shipment date, which Davis did not do until July 14th.

The third shipment, which arrived on July 10th, was discovered to be mostly rotten. This was due to a bacterial infection known as "Black Root Rot," which can harm carrots during their growing season.

Some of the carrots were a unique kind growing solely in Durban, South Africa. The m.v. Minsk was chosen by Ben to transport the final installment.

Davis delivered the consignment to the ports on August 10, the day the m.v. Minsk docked, but before loading, Davis was declared bankrupt, and his trustee in bankruptcy seized the carrots.

Discuss with clear explanation. (I need some guidance, i.e. meaning of the context, points)
