AN OCEAN LINERS CARGO.
Four Hundred Longshoremen Rush Day
and Night to Load One Ship.

Dowa on the wharf the rush was at
its height. Under the sputtering blush
arc lights, amid endless clang and
rumble, the produce of America came in.
From the prairies, the mines and the
mills, from the forests, the cotton plan
tations, tobacco fields, orchards and vine
yards, from the oil fields and meat pack
ing houses, from the grimy factories large
and small; ponderous engines of steel.
harvesteTs, reapers. automobiles, bars of
silver and yellow bricks of gold. bales of
cotton and wool and hides and tobacco,
meats. barrels of -four. and boxes Of
fruit, hogsheads of oil and casks of wine:
tens of thousands of things and ma
chimes to make things-piled up on the
wharf by the acre. And still all night
the teams clattered in and the tugs puffed
up with the harges; and from hundreds
OF miles away the trains were rushing
hither, bringing more boxes and barrels
and bags TO be packed in at the last
moment.
In gangs at every hatchway the 400
men were trundling heaving, straining,
rough crowd cursing and Joking at
the hoarse shouts of the foremen: while
from the darkness outside, heavy black
rope nets dropped down TO gather gil
gantic haHdfuls of cargo swing them
back up to the deck of the ship and then
down into her hold So all through the.
night and right up 10 the hour of sails
ing the rush went on. For the great
ocean liners work is worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars Il month. And the
slip must sail on time. Ernest Poole in

The Arctic Press

There exist at present several Journals
that make their appearance only once a
year. They are published within the
confines of the north polar circle, The
Eskimo Bulletin, for example, is edited
near Cape Prince of Wales. ON Behring

Esquimaus, the British missionaries have
established school, and. as only one

once a year, the news it brings is con
signed TO sheet of paper printed with
the photograph, It's size is eight by
twelve inches. The paper is very thick,
and only one surface is used. This
Esquimau Bulletin in subhead claims
to be the only yearly paper" This,
however is an error, for there is an an
nual sheet published in Godthaab, Green
land, where q small printing office was
established in 1862. whence news sheets
and photographic prints have been issued.
The Journal in question is entitled,
Atnagagdlinit; nalinginarmik tusaru-
is Something for

tanning subjects" The language is that
of Greenland, dialect of the Esauimau.
There is still another periodical pub
