That contract ran for about a month. At the end of the month the ship was add up and that contract therefore expired. The question was whether a new contract had super- vened when he was told to return to the boat. The plaintiff said that a new contract had supervened and it was on that contract on which he wou suing.
There was no doubt from the evid- ence that under that contract he re- mained on board to perform certain dulles and that he had done so at the request of the managing partner of the defendant firm. Therefore it was under arrangement with the defen- dont firm that he was there. The only question was whether, under the terms of that arrangement, he should receive wages.
