On Appeal From the United States District Court
   For the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
            (D.C. Civ. No. 90-04295)
         _____________________________
             Argued: April 13, 1994
     Before:   BECKER, MANSMANN and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges.

                   (Opinion Filed November 2, 1994)

                        ORDER AMENDING OPINION
                   _______________________________

BECKER, Circuit Judge.
          The opinion in the above-captioned case filed November

2, 1994 is amended as follows:

          1.   On page 4, first line under Part I, the words

"with her parents" are deleted.

          2.   On page 15, the second sentence should now read:
          "The harshness of this rule prompted reaction
          from   the   federal   judiciary   and   from
          Congress."

          3.   The word "nonpecuniary" is deleted on page 20,

second line from    bottom of page.

          4.   On page 30, footnote 29 should now read:
          We have alternated in our discussion between
          the terms "recreational boaters" and non-
          seamen, and we mean to sue the terms
          interchangeably. We do not mean to intimate
          that crew members of a vessel such as a
          racing yacht should necessarily be treated
          differently than someone in Natalie Calhoun's
          position.   The applicable remedy depends on
          whether such crew members fall within the
          Jones Act as seamen.

                                       BY THE COURT,

                                  /s/ Edward R. Becker
                                         Circuit Judge

DATED: November 17, l994
