Opinion
THE COURT.
Review to annul an award of respondents granted to one Lewis Falvik, employed as a stevedore in dis*358charging cargo from the steamship “Yucatan,” at San Pedro, California. This case differs from North Pacific Steamship Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission, ante, p. 346, [163 Pac. 199], this day decided, in no essential particular.

(N. S.) 1157, 58 L. Ed. 1208, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 733]; The Canada, 7 Fed. 119, [7 Sawy. 173]; Benedict on Admiralty, 4th ed., par. 207.)
Upon the authority of North Pacific Steamship Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission, ante, p. 346, [163 Pac. 199], the writ is discharged and the award affirmed.
