1Opinion of the Court
GOLDBERG, Circuit Judge:
In this admiralty action plaintiff seaman appeals from the order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, 357 F.Supp. 304 denying all recovery for injuries allegedly sustained as a result of defendant’s negligence and the unseaworthiness of its vessel, and finding that plaintiff has forfeited his right to maintenance and cure. We affirm the judgment of the court below in assessing no damages, but we reverse and remand this case to the district court for entry of an award of maintenance and cure under the general maritime law.
