§ 24513. Mariners and Others May Assert Their Claims for Wages,

Notwithstanding Prior Attachment; How Enforced.

Any mariner, boatman, or other person employed in the service of the

steamer, vessel, or boat attached, who may wish to assert his claim for wages

against the same, the attachments being issued for other demands than such

wages, may file an affidavit of his claim, setting forth the amount and the

particular service rendered, with the clerk of the court; and thereafter no

attachment can be discharged upon filing an undertaking, unless the amount

of such claim, or the amount determined as provided in the next section, be

covered thereby in addition to the other requirements; and any execution

issued against such steamer, vessel, or boat, upon judgment recovered

thereafter, must direct the application of the proceeds of any sale:

1. To the payment of the amount of such claims filed, or the

amount determined, as provided in the next section, which amount the

clerk must insert in the writ;

2. To the payment of the judgment and costs, and officer's fees,

and must direct the payment of any balance to the owner, master, or

consignee who may have appeared in the action; but if no appearance

by them be made therein, it must direct a deposit of the balance in

court.
