"Furthermore, the negligence of the said James Turner in leaving a lighted cigar where a monkey could pick it up and drop it into the petrol tank was clearly an act of the said James Turner as Master and not as Owner so his negligence is still an insured peril."
Might they perhaps have paid out to James Turner as Owner and then sought reimbursement from James Turner as Master?
