    254 F.

    2d 600

    George SMITH
    v.
    PAN-ATLANTIC STEAMSHIP CORPORATION (Defendant
    and Third-Party Plaintiff), Appellant (Ryan Stevedoring
    Company, Inc., Third-Party Defendant).
    No. 12388.

    United States Court of Appeals Third Circuit.


    Argued April 14, 1958.
    Decided April 30, 1958.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
    Pennsylvania; William H. Kirkpatrick, Judge.
    Harrison G. Kildare, Philadelphia, Pa. (Rawle & Henderson, Philadelphia,
    Pa., on the brief), for appellant.
    Thomas F. Mount, Philadelphia, Pa., T. E. Byrne, Jr., Philadelphia, Pa.
    (Krusen, Evans & Shaw, Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellee.
    Before GOODRICH, McLAUGHLIN and STALEY, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM.

    In this appeal a shipowner is seeking indemnity from a stevedoring company to


    recover for damages paid to an injured employee of the stevedoring company.
    The injured longshoreman is no longer in the case and the present contest is
    solely between the shipowner and the company employed to load the ship.

    We find no essential difference between this case and our own decision in
    Hagans v. Farrell Lines, Inc., 3 Cir., 1956, 237 F.2d 477, although a distinction
    has been urged. Consequently, the judgment of the district court will be
    affirmed.
