district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of two barrels of 
crab meat at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about June 12, 1939, by Geo. Martin Sea Food Co. 
from Westwego, La.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and
