BODY, District Judge.

Each of the above-captioned cases arises out of an alleged maritime accident which occurred on May 1, 1959 aboard the USNS MARINE FIDDLER. Since the issues are the same, all three cases will be disposed of together.

The Mascuilli libel was filed on May 14, 1959 and the other two libels were filed on July 1, 1959. The United States filed answers in all three actions on February 28, 1961.
