Company of Maine, for s6OoJ, on two ordinary Life
Policies, payable at death, prov ided the premium,
were paid annually, according 10 the terms ot tie
contract.
On the 2d dav of.Iuly, iss1 Capt Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form used by the Conpa-
ny, which gives the benefit of the Maine Non-forci-
ture Law.
ON the lIth day of September, 1877, he sailed from
Boston as master of the good ship "lcrland' on Il
voyage to Calcutta. The ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July ., Isl, and Au-
gust B. 1877, were not paid and by the terms ot the
original policies this would have worked forJfifure
Of the entire Insurance: but under the new policies
the insurance would have been continued in force more
than three years, until November 1ss0, notwith-
standing the non payment of the premiums due in
ls17 and the fact of the death being established to
the satisfaction of the company the full amount OF
the policies paid the 18th day of October s.s.
