It is common textbook practice to contrast Stilk v Myrick with the not altogether dissimilar case of [ case ]. In the latter, it was not just two crew members who deserted; rather, there had been many desertions, leaving the ship's crew seriously depleted. The captain promised the remaining crew members £40 extra pay if they would complete the voyage. It was held that the promise was binding. It was dangerous to put to sea a ship so undermanned. The seamen were not obliged to do this under their contracts of service and were, therefore, free to enter into a fresh contract, which would include the extra remuneration, for the remaining part of the voyage.
