OLIVER J. CARTER, District Judge.
The libel is for seaman’s wages from the period of time libelant was discharged from the General Gordon, under charter to the respondent, at Manila, P. I. on February 25, 1947, because of being ill with pulmonary tuberculosis till the end of the voyage in San Francisco on March 19, 1947, for a penalty of double wages for said period of time, and for an award for maintenance and cure. At the trial the stipulated evidence established that respondent was not liable for a penalty and libelant has, in essence, abandoned his claim for any penalty.
