Washington Supreme Court February 28, 1908, No. 7063 (Hoff v. Japanese-American Fertilizer & Fisheries Co.)

Root, J.

Plaintiff brought this action to recover damages caused by having his foot injured by the machinery on a tug boat, upon which he was employed as a deck hand and as an assistant at times to the fireman. From a judgment in plaintiff’s favor, the defendant appeals.

It was part of respondent’s duty to attend to the fires while the fireman was at his meals.
