    Jan. 31, 1978.
    Rehearing Denied March 28, 1978.
    
      F. Sheilds McManus of McManus & Kennedy, P.A., and Paul A. Gamba of Tooker & Gamba, P.A., Stuart, for appellant.
    Robert J. Gorman of Brennan, McAliley, Albury & Hayskar, Fort Pierce, for appel-lees.
   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

ALDERMAN, C. J., and LETTS, J., concur.

DAUKSCH, J., dissents with opinion.

DAUKSCH, Judge,

dissenting.

I respectfully dissent. The award of the jury was wholly inadequate to cover the loss suffered by appellant as a result of the negligence of the individual appellees. In the record there is evidence that the jury misunderstood at least some of the court’s instructions and it is reasonable to believe they may not have understood all of the instructions. I would reverse judgment and award a new trial for appellant.
