As will be seen in figure 52 and Table 35, the corn which was located on the unprotected part of the shaft tunnel was influenced more by the tunnel tem- perature and tested poorer when dis- charged than the corn which was located on the plank-protected part of the tun- nel. They also show that the corn in either of the two positions on the shaft tunnel varied considerably more in tem- perature and tested poorer than the corn located at tunnel height but halfway between the tunnel and the side of the hold. The temperature of the corn at tunnel height near the side of the hold varied with the sea temperature as is illus- trated by the temperature record for ther- mometer 35. Three samples taken from hold 6 when the corn was being discharged tested under 30 c. c. and eight samples tested over 30 c. c. in acidity. The correlation of temperature changes and changes in the condition of the corn is illustrated in figure 53. CARGO No. 8. Cargo No. 8 consisted of 258,092 bushels of natural corn. The corn was loaded from February 27 to March 1, 1912. The steamship sailed March 1 and arrived at Rotterdam, Holland, on March 20, where the corn was discharged from March 20 to March 22. The length of the ocean voyage was 19 days; the maximum time that any of the corn was in the vessel was 23 days, and the average time was 21 days. STOWAGE OF THE CORN. The steamship had five cargo holds. As is shown in figure 54, this shipment was a full cargo, each hold being entirely filled -vvith com,.
