The corn located next to the bulkhead oppo- site the donkey boilers showed a rapid increase in temperature at the time of loading, while steam was kept up in the boilers, and showed a higher temperature than the corn located the same height but some distance back from the bulkhead until March 27, when it was lower. When steam was again generated in the donkey boilers at the end of the voyage, the effect of the heat on the corn stowed next to the bulkhead opposite the boilers became apparent, the tem- perature increasing 20 degrees in two days. The corn near the surface which was stowed along the bulkhead that sepa- rated hold 3 from the coal bunker did not get as hot as the corn that was stowed the same height back from the bulkhead, as is shown by the temp- erature records for thermometers 10, 11, and 12. The hatch over the coal bunker was kept open and afforded ventilation in the bunker until March 18, but during the next week, when rough weather was encountered and the hatch was kept closed, the temperature of the corn contiguous to the bulkhead increased 23 degrees, as is shown by the temperature record for thermometer 10. The corn stowed along the bottom of hold 3 near the boiler-room bulkhead had a lower temperature during the greater part of the voyage than the corn some distance away, and this can be accounted for in that the tem
