Syllabus
<p>1. Seamen — Disobedience—Punishment—Imprisonment.</p> <p>That the master of a vessel failed to re) ¡lace a second mate who had been paid off at an intermediate port, as required by Rev. St. § 4516 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 3071], was no excuse for the total refusal of members of the crew to work the vessel, and was therefore no defense to the master’s right to punish them for their disobedience.</p>
