495.9
. Any mariner, boatman, or other person employed in the
service of the vessel attached, who may wish to assert his or her
claim for wages against the vessel, the attachments being issued for
other demands than those wages, may file an affidavit of his or her
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 the
claim, or the amount determined as provided in Section 496, is
covered thereby, in addition to the other requirements; and any
execution issued against that vessel, upon judgment recovered
thereafter shall direct the application of the proceeds of any sale:
(a) To the payment of the amount of such claims filed, or the
amount determined, as provided in Section 496, which amount the clerk
shall insert in the writ.
(b) To the payment of the judgment and costs, and sheriff's or
marshal's fees, and shall 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 is made therein, it shall direct a deposit
of the balance in court.
