Gold usually is brought to the yes
sci on which 1t is to be shipped the
day before the date Of sailing. and It
is stored away carefully before pas
sengers embark. 1t arrives at the
pier In ordinary trucks, under the
guard Of armed men. The customary
method Of getting the gold on board
lie to haul the kegs up an inclined
chute to the deck by means Of hoist
ing engine. but this method is not fol,
lowed invariably. Sometimes each
key is placed in sling and carried
on board by men detailed for this
service.
The receipt given by the steamship
company sets forth that so many kegs
have been received for shipment, not
for any stated amount of gold to the
value Of so much. The kegs bear the
government seal in many instances,
and In such cases, when they have
been safely put in the strong room,

New York-The natural assumption
would be that in the safeguarding of
the treasure which the various coun-
tries are constantly sending one an

would be required the vigilance of
many men. This, however. is not gen.
orally the case. since, once the gold is

Taking the specific case Of one liner

that 1t has two strong rooms, the
smaller Of the two being in close prox.
unity to the captains Office. This one
compartment has no doubt sheltered
gold enough to epay the cost of the
liner many times over. The walls,
