Description
The sponge boat Portaritisa was libeled by E. Z. Jackson for supplies furnished and money advanced for her use and was claimed by Virginia Pavlis, whose husband Nikitas Pavlis was the boats master. The special master to whom the case was referred decided there was a maritime lien for the supplies but none for the money, because the boaths crew to whom most of the money was paid as an advance on their future earnings were joint adventurers and had no wage claims and hence no lien. The judge held that the advances of money carried a lien, but that usury was charged which forfeited all interest, and he also disallowed a few items, giving a decree for libelant otherwise. Mrs. Pavlis appeals, and Jackson though making no appeal specifies as error the disallowance of the interest and the items above referred to.
