EDITH BROWN CLEMENT, Circuit Judge:
This case presents numerous questions arising from a seaman’s suit against his employer to recover damages for an injury allegedly .sustained while aboard the employer’s vessel. Following a jury trial, the seaman was awarded damages. The employer appeals, contending that the jury erred when it found that the seaman had not willfully concealed his prior back injuries, and that the employer had been unreasonable in withholding maintenance and cure benefits.1 We agree with the employer’s contentions, and accordingly reverse..
