APPENDIX B.—GENERAL TABLE 57

shown in the tabulation. If the maintenance allowance was specified
in any case as being more or less than the above amounts the specified
figure was used and the tabulation noted accordingly.
Days from injury to settlement.—The days from the injury to the
settlement indicates the lapse of time after the injury before the
seaman realized compensation for time lost, pain and suffering, or
for indemnity. In cases where payments were made at different
times the lapse of time shown is from the date of the injury to the
date of the first payment.
Amount actually paid as wages.—The amount shown as wages
actually paid is the unearned wages at straight rate paid the seaman
under his right to wages to the end of the voyage. It does not include
 pay for extra work, overtime, or for any period during which
he was rendering service. Such items were due the seaman in some
cases and were included in the final settlement but were deducted
before entering the amount in the tabulation. For instance, in one
case a seaman was entitled to unearned pay for six watches ($15) to
the end of the voyage. The wage voucher which the seaman actually
received was for $29.80, which included pay for .overtime earned
before the beginning of disability. The amount shown as wages
paid in this case is $15.
Amount actually paid as maintenance—The amount shown as
maintenance actually paid includes all sums paid to the seaman as an
allowance for maintenance and also any amounts that were paid
directly to other parties by the shipowner or the underwriter to
satisfy bills for board and lodging which accrued against the seaman
during his out-patient or convalescent period of disability.
Amount actually paid as other settlement —The amounts shown as
other settlements are sums paid the seaman in settlement of his
claim other than for wages and maintenance, except in cases where
the sums representing wages to the end of the voyage and maintenance
 were obscure and neither indicated nor specihod in the records
of settlement. In such cases the amount shown is the full amount
of the entire settlement.
Total amount actually paid. —The total amount actually paid is the
amount paid by the shipowner or the underwriter to the seaman or
his attorney to satisfy the claim. If the settlement was made by
personal agreement, the amount is net to the seaman. If the settlement
 is through agreement with the seaman’s attorney, a compromised
 action, a jury verdict, or a’ court decree, the amount shown
includes the plaintiff's attorney’s fee but not court costs.
Amount of probable recovery under compensation act.—The amount
payable under the adaptation of the longshoremen’s act includes the
following items:
(1) The amount to which the seaman was entitled as wages shown
in the tabulation;
(2) The amount to which the seaman was entitled as maintenance
as shown by the tabulation; and
(8) The lump-sum value of compensation payable by applying
the provisions of the longshoremen’s act as discussed in this report.
