Head Matter:
EUGENIA A. ROGET, Executrix, v. THE UNITED STATES.
(24 C. Cls. R., 165; 148 U. S. R., 167.)
On the claim ant’s Appeal.
A retired naval officer is continued on active duty for several years. While on active duty he receives full shore pay. After the termination of his active duty he receives three-fourths of the pay he was receiving at the time of retirement. He seeks to recover longevity pay as if the retirement had taken place when the active service ceased.
Tbe court below decides:
A naval officer who renders active service after retirement is entitled, when the active service ceases, to only three-fourths of the pay he was receiving at the time of retirement. Active service on the retired list dops not operate to postdate the time of retirement so as to increase longevity pay.
Tbe decision, of tbe court below is affirmed on tbe same grounds.

Opinion:
Mr. Justice Shiras
delivered tbe opinion of tbe Supreme Court, March 6, 1893.
