The seventh article of the Laws of Oleron provides: That if a mariner be taken sick on the voyage, he ought to be put on shore, and care should be taken of him at the expense of the ship; when the vessel is ready to sail, she is not to wait for him; but, still he is to be entitled to his full wages if he recover; and if he does not, his wife, or next of kin, is to have them; deducting only such charges as the master has been at for him. The phrase full wages means the same wages which he would have been entitled to had he lived and served out the whole voyage of the vessel. Sims v. Jackson, 1 Wash. C. C. 414, Fed. Cas.
