The work OF eternally pushing the

gloomy stokehold You have heard
that the stokehold is hot. and when
you have clambered into IL over dis
orderly piles OF still smoking ashes,
steadying yourself by taking incau-

stand for the first time face to face
with the furnaces you feel assured of
the fact
But, besides being hot. il is the most

The game is the more interesting be-
cause ship can never afford TO spare
more than just barely enough space
for her propelling machinery; conse-
quently everything-engines, boilers,
turna ces--must be worked to the very
limit OF rs capacity o. e. 10y
