Description
The libellant, Frederick E. Kilgust, signed on the S.S. Alan-A-Dale, a vessel operated by and for the account of the respondent, as second cook on November 9, 1943. He was then eighteen years of age and had been in good health up through the time he reported for merchant marine training in June 1943. The Alan-A-Dale sailed for London shortly after Kilgust signed aboard, arrived safely about December 1, 1943, and left on her return voyage about January 1, 1944. On January 2, 1944, libellant was taken ill and after receiving such treatment as was available aboard, was transferred to the United States Marine Hospital on Staten Island on the vessels arrival in New York on January 20, 1944. There libellants illness was diagnosed as pneumonia. He remained at the hospital until February 3, took ten days convalescent leave and eventually signed on another vessel on March 5, 1944, where he shortly became ill again. He was later hospitalized, but tests for tuberculosis did not indicate the existence of that disease until June 10, 1944.
