A novel decision is reported from Canada in Van Valkenburg v. Northern Navigation Co., in which it is held that there is no legal obligation on a vessel owner to rescue a seaman who through his own negligence felt overboard while skylarking with other-sailors. The decision was based on the ground that the voluntary action of the seaman in putting himself in "a position of danger, from the fatal consequences of which there was no escape except through the defendant's intervention, could not create legal obligion on the defendant's part to stop the ship or to adopt other means to save the deceased'. The Court said: "It was no term, expressed or' implied, of the contract of hiring that they should protect him from' the consequences of his own negligence."—New York "Sun."
