Reversed and remanded.

Opinion filed April 18, 1917.

Mr. Justice Taylor

delivered the opinion of the court.

Inasmuch as this appeal involves substantially similar matters to those adjudicated in Woodbury v. Ocean Accident & Guarantee Corporation, Ltd., Gen. No. 21,800, ante, p. 387, we are of the opinion that the court erred in directing a verdict for the appellee, and, for that error so committed, the judgment ought to be reversed and the cause remanded.

Reversed and remanded.
