although the corn in 
hold 3 was loaded to 
the same height, but 
this holdhad onemore 
deck. Hold 5 was 
about two-thirds fill- 
ed, and hold 6 was a 
little over half filled 
with corn. The ves- 
sel had two shaft tun- 
nels along the bottom 
of holds 5 and 6. 
Both of these shaft 
tunnels were venti-
