56 ~~ SETTLEMENT FOR ACCIDENTS TO AMERICAN SEAMEN

and under “Part of body” as “Face; right arm,” inasmuch as the
degree or extent is indicated by the length of the ensuing disability.
Disability —Disability as shown in the tabulations of this report is
the time during which the injured man was unable to render any
service in his regular occupation, or during which he rendered service
in another occupation at a lower wage because of incapacity to work
at his regular occupation. Many seamen who are injured continue
to render only partial service through the remainder of the voyage
for which they are signed and at the same time draw full wages for
the partial service. Unless the seaman was unable to render any
service in such cases while wages were continued the bureau has not
considered any disability during the voyage. If an injured man
recovers to a degree which enables him to work at another occupation,
but not at his own occupation, the bureau has considered the period
at the other occupation as partial disability, provided the wages
earned in the second occupation were less than he would have earned
in his regular occupation. Compensation for such partial disability
was computed on the basis of two-thirds of the difference between
the injured seaman’s weekly wage before the injury and the weekly
wage at the second occupation, during the continuance of his employment
 in the second occupation.
Treatment.—Treatment on ship is the number of days that a sea~
man was aboard a ship after becoming unable to render service. It
includes the days he continued aboard the ship on which he was injured
 and the days, if any, aboard another ship while being brought
ashore or while being returned to the port of shipment.
In-patient treatment is the period of confinement on land during
which the seaman was furnished subsistence, either by shipowner,
marine hospital service or the consular service.
Out-patient treatment is the total number of days during the seaman’s
 disability that he was maintaining himself while visiting either
a hospital, dispensary, or a private physician for treatments.
Convalescence.—The period shown as “convalescence” in this
report is that portion of the seaman’s disability after the cessation of
treatments during which he obtained board and lodging at his own
expense. This is so shown to make the total of the out-patient
treatment and the convalescence represent the period during which
the seaman is entitled to an allowance for maintenance.
Days entitled to wages—The number of days shown under this
heading is the number of days from the beginning of the seaman’s
disability to the end of his agreement as practiced under maritime
law. (See p. 32.)
Days entitled to maintenance~—The number of days a seaman is
entitled to maintenance is the total of the days shown as an outpatient
 and as a convalescent.
Amount entitled to as wages.—The sum shown as the amount of
wages to which the seaman was entitled is wages computed at straight
rate from the beginning of his disability to the end of the voyage in
accordance with the practice of wage continuance. One thirtieth
of the monthly wage was used as the daily wage. (See pp. 18, 32.)
Amount entitled to as maintenance.—The sum shown as the amount
entitled to as maintenance was computed by allowing each unlicensed
seaman (except steward) $2 per day and licensed officer and steward
$3.50 per day for each day of out-patient treatment and convalescence
