POPULAR BELIEF Recently in the officers' recreation of the Seamen's Church Institute, 25 South St., New York, some American ships' officers were discussing the relative merits of others who follow the аса. Þut under the flag of a foreign nation. Said one: "This is about the time of the year for Fried, Cummings or Fish to pull off another rescue"; and another, "When it comes to handling vessels the foreigners have got to take a back seat-if they had had American mates on the Vestris it would have been a different story."

While this patting-on-the-buck 'party was in progress, an expert on. | stability was delivering a very com- prehensive lecture to a score of men on the top floor of the same build- ing. Of these men, seated in a room which could easily accom-

Murray was engaged for a voyage on the Croxteth Hall, which was wrecked off Flushing on February 27 last. As a result hle services were terminated on March 4, before the date on which, but for the wreck, they would have ended. Murray claimed two months' wages and subsistence allowance rate of 4s. per day under the Act, which provided that "where, by reason of a wreck or loss of a ship on which a seaman is employed, hia services terminate before the date contemplated in the agreement, he shall be entitled, In respect of each day on which he is unemployed during a period of two months from the date of the termination of the servico, to receive wages at the rate to which he is entitled at that date." lt. was also provided that the sea- man should not be entitled to receive wages if the shipowner showed that the unemployment was not due to the wreck of the ship or that the seaman was able to obtain suitable employment. The contention of the two plaintiffs in the actions was that under the terms of the Act they were entitled to two months' wages from the date of their dis- charge following the wreck.

Leave to Appeal

Lord Merrivale found in favour of the two men, and judgment was entered in their favour with costs. Leave to appeal was given. The President said that the plaintiffe wore entitled, under the terms of the statute, to wages for a period of two months from the date of the wreck, but they could not sustain any claim for promises of shore work on the ship arriving in port, carrying with it subsistence allowance.
