continues, but the movements are
new kept less secret than during the

more than one and half miles of
water front, with railway lines so
close to the ships docks that it is but
moments work to transfer train
loads of men, horses and equipment
from the railway to the steamships

was made was so marked that an en-

three minutes, and it was not uncom-
mon for 20 trains to enter the docks
