Unloading of Gold.
AS soon as the big ship was warped
into her dock preparations were made
for discharging the twcnty-fOur tons OF
golden treasure. The Lusitania's specie
room is located aft near the water line,
and longshoremen were soon at work
carrying the small but heavy steel bound
wooden cases, of which there were 1874,
ashore.
Purser Lancaster checked each box as
it was brought down the gang plank.
Plain clothes men and policemen were
on guard and portable wooden fence
placed across the end of the dock where
the gold was being handled served to
keep back the curious. The majority Of
the passengers, however were too busy
attending to their baggage to give much
attention to the work of unloading the
gold. Five double and two single trucks
were drawn up in the street near the
pier, where a line of police kept back
the crowd which had gathered to watch
hand trucks to the wagons, where it,
was loaded and started on its way across
town to its destination.
