Ormond, lb. 262. The next objection is, that the vessel has never returned within the meaning of the articles, so as to render the owners at all liable. But, if the vessel is condemned abroad, or lost at sea, or captured or sold, and a part of the cargo was saved, or regained, it would seem just to let the seamen have a share, though the vessel never returned, in specie^ to this country. Sheppard et aL v. Taylor ei oL 5 Pet. 675. Such is the rule, in substance, in common cases of wages, or in a... loss at sea, where freight is before earned. 2 Dod. Adm. 602-504.
