,HOMFWARD BOUND
SAILS INTO COURT
Seamen Awarded Damages as
Result of Experiences
During Trip
Skipper Thompson Failed to
Administer Proper
Treatment

Whatever sentiment formerly at
tached to the phrase "Homeward
bound was very effectually destroyed
by Captain Chadwick Thompson as far
as certain seamen are concerned who
made the last voyage around the Horn
in the vessel of that soft sounding
name. Nor will the decisions handed
down in the United States district
court yesterday by Judge de Haven
serve to obliterate recollections of
kicks in the groin, blows on the face
or trips aloft during blizzards, while
hands were frozen and raw, during
that homeward trip of the Homeward
Bound.
Samuel Graves and Hilton H.. Wade
We're awarded $50 each as damages for
having been required to perform the
work of seamen after their hands and
feet had been frozen and were raw and
sore, Judge de Haven having decided
that such treatment was breach of
the implied obligation of the master to
administer good treatment to his men.
The intervenor of John Campbell, r.
Beckman, G. Schloiser and A. Sirries
was dismissed.
w. Guilderson proved, and it was
admitted by Captain Thompson, that he
had been felled to the deck by a heavy
blow on the mouth and kicked 80
times, and Judge de Haven decided that
the evidence failed to show that there
was any Justification for such assault" :"
He sued for $1,000 damages, but was
awarded $500 and costs.
William Hall failed to prove to the
satisfaction Of the court that he had
been kicked in the groin or smashed
in the mouth by Thompson, so his suit
for $4,000 DANA ges was dismissed.
Edward c. Dean. another sailor who
alleged that he had been triced up and
fiogged while member of the crew of
the whaler Thrasher, was refused $500
damages by Judge de Haven, who said
in rendering his opinion tht the evil
dence introduced by the master to the
effect that he was mutinous stated a
sufficient defense to any claim of the
libelant for substantial damages.
