PER CURIAM.

This appeal raises only questions of fact. The trial judge discredited the testimony of the libelant’s three witnesses for reasons stated in his opinion, and found that the vessel was not unsea-worthy, that the respondent was not negligent, and that the accident resulted from carelessness or inattention to duty on the part of libelant’s fellow longshoreman. The decree is affirmed on the opinion below, reported in D.C., 134 F.Supp. 169.
