The damaged com was found in the after part of the hold near the shifting boards about halfway down in the hold, also in the feeder which extended down one deck from the top of the corn under the hatchway. This is illustrated in figure 67. Hold 4 was located just forward of the boiler room. The com located next to the boiler-room bulkhead became badly heat damaged during the voyage, the greatest heat and the most severe damage being found at the surface of the corn. There were no ther- mometers located im- mediately against the boiler-room bulkhead, but thermometer 21, located even with the top of the boiler room halfway back in the hold registered a rapid increase in tempera- ture from the begin- ning of the voyage. There was a small air space under the deck and above the corn, extending from the feeder in the forward part of the hold to the upper part of the boiler-room bulkhead, and, as soon as full steam was gotten up in the boilers at the beginning of the voy- age, the heat gene- rated ia the boiler room penetrated the bulkhead ana was transmitted to the com, where fermentation was started and accelerated until the temperature of the com at this posi- tion of stowage "had increased from slightly under 50° F, at the be- gmning of the voyage on April 16, to over 140° F. April 29, an increase of over 90° F. in temperature in 13 days, as is shown in figure 68. The condition of the corn in the various positions of stowage in the hold as loaded and as discharge
