ON STEAMERS DECK

Duluth, Mimi. Aug. 2S.-With her
decks covered by a mountain of loose
grain, hiding half the deck house, the
big steamer Livingstone, Captain H.
Oertling, came into port early today
Local marine men looked on in amaze
ment at the unprecedented sight.
The Livingstone, under charter to a
Minneapolis grain firm, loaded at Fort
William Friday. When the cargo holds
were filled there still was a quantity
of grain to be moved and the vessel
was not carrying capacity tonnage So,
taking chance on the weather, 300
tons more grain were poured on the
deck
There was hardly a puff of wind to
stir the chaff on the way up. zone good
hard puff of wind would have cleaned
the decks" said Captain OertIing as
the steamer went under the spouts to-
day.
