Syllabus

<p>Seamen (§ 29*) — Personal Injuries — Assumption of Risk.</p> <p>Leaving tlie cover oft from a hatchway on a vessel which was surrounded by a coaming 30 inches high, alongside of which was also a broad ledge, was not of itself a failure of duty toward a member of the crew, who had full opportunity to know the position and condition of the hatch, which renders the vessel liable for his injury by falling therein.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Seamen, Cent. Dig. §§ 186, 188; Dec. Dig. § 29.*]</p>
