GAUNT v. ALASKA STEAMSHIP CO.

No. 35341.

57 Wn.2d 847 (1961)

360 P.2d 354

WILLIAM THOMAS GAUNT, Appellant, v. THE ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY, Respondent.

The Supreme Court of Washington, Department Two.

March 17, 1961.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Warner, Pierce & Peden (B. Gray Warner, of counsel), for appellant.

Bogle, Bogle & Gates and Ronald E. McKinstry, for respondent.

FOSTER, J.

Appellant Gaunt, a seaman, sued the respondent for personal injuries sustained on its "SS Iliamna." Appellant was one of three seamen ordered to take down a turnbuckle and forward stay which required them to work near a deck cargo of creosoted and slippery telephone poles. While so engaged, the appellant fell, causing the injuries for which he sued. The action is based upon both the respondent's negligence and the unseaworthiness of its vessel.
