Thomas F. Mount, of Philadelphia, Pa., for appellants.

Before MARIS, GOODRICH, and KALODNER, Circuit Judges.
The question presented is whether the plaintiff, a seaman, was entitled to maintenance and cure by reason of an injury suffered without fault on his part in a fight in a barroom while on shore leave in a foreign port. For the reasons well stated in the opinion of Judge Bard in the district court, 69 F.Supp. 755, denying the defendant's motion for judgment n. o. v. and for a new trial we think that the award of maintenance and cure was proper.
The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
