His Worship-It is not yet settled you will have to pay them off.

Complaint-But in can I do. Julgment was as follows:--

The defence raised is that the command consists of an order to proceed to guy with a cargo of kerosene oil for Vladivostock, a port at present in the occupation of the Ross as now at war with Japan: Chaat in going to that port the crow will inour dangers other than those which they are required to incur under their articles of agrement and the condi tions of their service, and that consequently the command of the Captain is not a lawful com. mand within the meaning of the said section.

The dangers which the defendants allege they will incur are: (1) damage from mines protecting Vladivostock, (2) damage from the possibility of the place being bombarded after they get there, (3) risk that the ship may be taken into Sasebo by the Japanese for investi gation as to the nature and destination of her cargo.

Now there is no question but that Vladivo stock is within the dogrees of latitude within which these men have contracted under their articles to serve, und it is not contended for the defence that Vladivostock is blockaded or that the ship is engaged in may "unneutral service" on behalf of either belligerent.
