    (Argued October 15, 1925;
    decided November 24, 1925.)
    Appeal, in each of the above-entitled actions, by permission, from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered February 7, 1925, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court at a Trial Term without a jury. The actions were to recover on policies of limited war risk insurance covering a steamship. The defense was that the vessel deviated from the voyage for which she was insured. It appeared that on the voyage from Gothenberg to New York the vessel was seized by a British war vessel and taken into Hull, England, where she was unloaded and chartered to that government for a voyage to Sweden. On the return trip the vessel was sunk by a German submarine.
