Opinion of the Court
Review to annul an award of respondents granted to one Lewis Falvik, employed as a stevedore in discharging *Page 358 cargo from the steamship "Yucatan," at San Pedro, California. This case differs from North Pacific Steamship Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission, ante, p. 316, [ 163 P. 199 ], this day decided, in no essential particular.

(N. S.) 1157, 58 L.Ed. 1208 , 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 733]; The Canada, 7 Fed. 119 , [ 7 Sawy. 173 ]; Benedict on Admiralty, 4th ed., par. 207.)
Upon the authority of North Pacific Steamship Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission, ante, p. 346, [ 163 P. 199 ], the writ is discharged and the award affirmed.
