Hold 3 was entirely filled with corn. A small amount of the corn 
along the starboard side at the top was hot and damaged, as is 
shown in figure 33. It will be seen that samples Nos. 39 and 40 taken 
from this hot corn each had a temperature of 118° F. and an acidity 
of 32.5 c. c. in the first and 29 c. c. in the second sample. None of 
the kernels in sample No. 39 would sprout, and only 1 per cent of 
sample No. 40 had any vitality. There was a steam pipe opposite 
this hot corn which ran along the deck close to the hatch. This 
steam pipe carried live steam to the winches along the deck and 
was under pressure of steam during the first few days after the hold 
was filled with corn and again for a few days at the end of the voyage
