The position of the upperborder varied considerably in the different exami-nations, depending apparently partly on the fulnessof the stomach and partly on the depth of respira-tion. The relative rise and fall of the apex beatcould not be followed as closely as its lateral move-ment, owing to the ribs. The period of the greatest enlargement corre-sponded to the period of the most arduous work,late in May and early in June, when the finalselection of men was being made, and when con-sequently every man was pulling his the individual strain was greater at thistime, because the crew had not yet learned to pullas a unit.
