The Emma V.

Opinion of the Court

FOX, District Judge.

I am satisfied from the evidence that the libellants made no contract to labor for Dimmock, and that they . did not rely upon his credit, but looked to the vessel for their wages. The service was •necessary to enable _ the vessel to take in cargo, and incident to a completion of the voyage. It bears the same relation to the vessel as outfits and supplies necessary for ship’s use, and, like these, is secured by lien upon the vessel. Decree for libellants.
