CLEVER STEVEDORING.
PROPER LOADING OF SHIPS
HELPS TO WIN RECORDS.

! Wonderful Work of the Man Who
Slows Into the Spacious Hold of an
Ocean LevIathan the Tons OF
Freight That Makes Up the Cargo.
One O. the things about which tho
average ocean tfavaler knows little or
nothing is the wonderful work OF the
stevedore, the man who stows Tito the
spacious. hold of leviathan the thoua'
sands upon thousands of boxes and
6arrsls and bags and crates and pack-
ages that go to make up the 10000 or
$4,000 tons Of freight Of q modern
steamship. Frequently the stevedora
and his army of men havG been at
work night and day to load the big vSs=
sci and to have her start on the very
minute on her 5000 mile voyage
against storms and whatever else the
gods choose to send into the race. But,
little as the passengers waving hand
kerchiefs over the rail may know
about the loading Of their steamer. the
work is as important US It is interest
ing.
From the moment the last piece of
merchandise has been hoisted out Of
hold the work of making this ready for
the new cargo is begun. Men with fire
hose throwing water Under high pres
sure are sent below, and with them 80
gangs of broom men, who are to clean
and scour every part Of the big com
plrtmcnt, to get 1t ready for the deli
catds$nd often perishable freight about
to be slowed. Standing at one of the
mouths of these holds and gazing into
the dusly depths below seems like
standing on the brink of hundred
foot precipice. In reality, the depth is
not so great, being accentuated by the
darkness of the pit. But in many OF
the big ocean liners line long enough
to reach from the roof of three-story

ton of merchandise slowed in this vast
space looks lost, something like SPAR
row on telegraph pole. In fact, thous-
ands Of tons will have to be swallowed
by the hatchways before the hold will
be full, as it should be to give proper
balance to the ship.
With the cleaning of the ship the
wagon teams begin to appear on the
piers, and while these are unloading in
a steady parade of vehicles on the wat
er side of the steamship dozens of
srVller vessels are moored ready to
disgorge their loads into the monster
