'9 " '^ "3 '* '^ '^ '^ '8 /9 eo 2/ Z2 23 24 2S Ze 27 28 Z9 30 31 and the corn stowed 8 feet away from the bulkhead had mcreased to 80° F., or an mcrease of only 18° F., but durmg the next few days the temperature of the corn m the latter position increased very rapidly. When the ship arrived at Copenha,gen on April 1, the temperatures of the corn stowed against the upper, middle, and bottom parts of the boiler-room bulkhead, as is shown by the temperature records for thermometers 18, 24, and 27, were 140°, 118°, and 75° F., re- spectively, as against 122° and 59° F., for the corn stowed 8 feet from the bulkhead and the same height as the upper and lower positions (there was no record for the middle position) as is shown by the tem- perature records for thermometers 22 and. 29. Note that the corn near the boiler- room bulkhead had a higher temperature by 18° F. in the upper position and by 16° F. in the lower posi- tion than the corn located at the same height but 8 feet from the bulkhead. After the ship was docked at Copen- hagen, the fires were put out under the main boilers and the effect was quite no- ticeable on the corn located near the boiler-room bulkhead. The next day, April 2, the temperature of the corn located against the upper part of the bulkhead had decreased 5 degrees as against no decrease for the corn the same height only 8 feet away, the temperatures for these two positions that day being 135° and 122° F., respectively. The tempera- ture of the corn against the middle of the bulkhead (thermometer 24), about haK way to the bottom, was 102° F., on April 2, a decrease of 16.
