Upon consideration of the Federal statutes (U.S. Rev. Stat., §§ 4283, 4284, 4285; U.S. Code, tit. 46, §§ 183, 184 and 185, as amd. by Act of June 5, 1936, ch. 521 [49 U.S. Stat. 1479 et seq.]), we agree with the interpretation in The Chickie (141 F.2d 80), and, accordingly, under section 606 of the Civil Practice Act (as amd. by L. 1942, ch. 297), the judgment is reversed and the case is remitted to the Appellate Division, without costs, for determination upon the questions of fact, including discretion, raised in that court by the defendant-appellant's motion to amend the answer.
