1Opinion of the Court
ALDRICH, Senior Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff, a seaman, brought suit against his employer, a shipowner, in the usual counts: Count One for negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688; Count Two for unseaworthiness, and a maintenance count not presently involved. The court directed a verdict for the defendant on Count One, and the jury found for the defendant on Count Two. Plaintiff alleges error in the direction of the verdict and, with respect to the second count, in the charge. For reasons we will come to, there was no error in directing the verdict. We will deal first with Count Two.
