CARRYING QUALITIES OF EXPORT CORN. 95 
Hold 5 was located just aft of the engine room. The corn located 
next to the engine-room bulkhead became hot and badly damaged 
during the voyage. As is usual, the greatest heat and the most 
severe damage were found next to the upper part of the engine-room 
bulkhead and less heat and less damage the further the distance 
back from this bulkhead, and also toward the bottom of the hold. 
The corn in the remainder of the hold, except that located next to 
the propeller shaft tunnel, changed very little and was discharged 
in good condition. 
The corn located next 
to the engine-room 
bulkhead, about 9 
feet under the sur- 
face of the corn, at

36 and 39, in Table 42. It will be noted from this table that the 
corn which was in the center and after part of the hold was dis- 
charged in Europe in practically the same condition that it was in 
when it was loaded into the vessel. The location of the sound and 
damaged corn in this hold as discharged is illustrated in figure 69. 
The corn in holds 6 and 7, like that in holds 1 and 2, and in the 
middle of the after part of hold 5, was discharged in Europe in prac- 
tically the same condition that it was in at the time of loading into 
the vessel, except that a small amount of the corn located along the 
shaft tunnel in the bottom of the three after holds was somewhat 
musty and sour. The temperature records for the corn in the various
