Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit September 27, 1973, 73-1222 (Ernest Wilmer Crosson, Iii, and Marie Louise Crosson, His Wife v. Maxwell Vance)

HAYNSWORTH, Chief Judge:

After denial of a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, we allowed an interlocutory appeal to consider whether an action for personal injuries brought by a water skier against the operator of a towing motor boat was within the admiralty jurisdiction.
