The frMght steamship Cambroman of
the Warren Line lay at Pier 6, East
B'oston, Monday afternoon. The throb
of' a pump Somewhere within her great
Iron hull and the resulting jet of water
that spurted laslly from a two-inch hole
on the, starboard side were the only
evidences of life aboard. The vessel
was Cb sail for Liverpool at S o’clock.
She had taken aboard Sunday seven vsr
loads of dressed beef and s few ear
loads of hay. machinery end lumber. A
great deal of loading remained to be
done, says the Boston Herald, before
ehe could slip her hawsers and drop
out behind a tug in the harbor.
The first notice of Impending activity
came late In the afternoon, when a lo
comotive that had been snorting back
and forth In the yard pushed a train
of forty-seven cars into the freight
house. They had come nil the way
from Chicago. Twenty-seven of them
were of the familiar yellow pattern,
very high, which indicated that they
were refrigerator cars. Each bore the
name of Swift, which removed all
doubts ns to what they contained. The
cars with the Imperishable freight were
shunted to the end of the dock so that
their contents could be the more readi
ly transferred to the after pert of the
hold.
The train had come from the Windy
City via the Boston and Albarty railroad
and had been rushed through with as
little delay as possible, the tee In each
car being renewed at various points
on the way.
Shortly after 6 o'clock a score or more
colored men strolled upon the scene.
They were big, jolly fellows, each as
strong as a bull, and they made merry
as they gathered on the deck-near the
forward hatchway playing rough
pranks on each other and laughing hear
tily at the discomfiture of the butt of
their lukes. All peeled oft their hats
and outer garments, which they depos
ited on (he bales of hay in the freight
bouse, and appeared ready for busi
ness In flannel shirts, old trousers oi
overalls and old shoes.
An Interesting contrivance had been
erected leading to and In the forward
hatchway. From the dock to the ves
sel was a gang plank twenty feet long
and six feet wide, so heavy that the
united efforts of all the men were nec
essary to move It to the right position.
At the ton of the hatoway was a stout
■wooden table with - a sheet Iron top.
Leading from this Into the hold, at an
angle v>f CO degrees, was a wooden chute.
At the point where this chute termi
nated on the opposite side of the hatch
way anotner chute, but shorter, start
ed and terminates In the hold. These
chutes were not covered, but consisted
simply of planking with guards of two
by three Inch joist. At the foot of the
first chute was another sheet Iron ta
ble. The whole rigging was braced se
curely.
What was fun for the onlookers, but
very much like work for the colored
men, began at 6:30 o'clock. One of the
refrigerator cars was unlocked, the
thick doors swung ont and the con
tents disclosed. Two white men went
Into the car to start the beef moving.
Half the negroes lined up beside the
car to receive their burdens. The re
mainder were at the foot of the chutes,
ready to catch the beef and carry It
Into the hold. Two white men stood «t
the first Iron table, one at the second
hnd one at the foot of the last chute.
The temperature of the Inside of the
refrigerator car was a welcome relief
from the hot freight house. The beef.
In fore and hind quarters, was seen
hanging from galvanized hooks, each
like a great animal sleeping with his
tall attached to the limb of a tree.
The two men first In the car seised one
of the hindquarters, one swinging It
forward and upward. Ono of the burly
negroes would slide under It, while tho
■third man disengaged IE from the hobk.
The negro made off with his burden on
tho run. He had to go about fifty
yards before he reached the gang plank,
then mount his incline and deposit his
burden with a crash on the Iron table.
The two men standing here seised It
and guided It Into the first chute. The
"switchman" turned It Into the second,
then It was grabbed at, the bottom of
the hatchway by the last man, who
hoisted It to the shoulders bf a waiting
negro. The latter hurried with It Into
the refrigerator, and It was hung on
another galvanized Iron hook.
All this had Consumed leas than a
minute, and the hlndquarter had bean
In motion all the time. It wee Impor
tant that the tranefer from the land
to the water refrigerator take place as
quickly as possible, so that the beef
would not lose Its chill.
This was kept up for the rest of the
evening, the men handling first hind
quarters. then forequarters, then sheep
and kidneys. When the work was com
pleted at 11 o'clock the cars were
empty tnd the ship’s refrigerators were
full. The men had handled 3,000 quar
ters of beef. 600 sheep and a half car
load of kidneys and small stuff. Twelve
men had been employed on the run
from the cars to the hatchway. If the
curious reader wishes to figure from
this data he will learn that considera
bly less than a minute had been con
sumed In the transfer of each piece of
beef or mutton.
"How much does one of those quarters
of beef weigh, sir?" the Boston Herald
reporter asked one of the retired list who
was reclining comfortably on a bale of
hay.
"What do you think?" ■ •
"Oh. about 130 pounds, with No. 1
shoes” mused the reponer, absent-mind
edly.
'■you're way off,” replied his Informant.
"They weigh from ISO to 300 pounds
apiece." ,
"Pretty gpqd load. Isn't It?"
'■you bet it Is. You couldn't And one
ftisn In dfty who could pick up one ant
carry It off as these men do.”
"Who are these colored men? ”
'■They work In or about Quincy Hall
market In the day time, handling a great
deal of beer, and grow extremely strong.
You will notloe that they are Mg. tough
fellows. A small man couldn't stand the
strain. They are ' the liveliest workers
In the business. In Montreal the men
are paid so much an hour, and give good
service."
"What do these men get for It?”
"Each man on this job gets 26 cents a
car. This will give him 94.76 for tonight's
work. You see It belpi out his regular
weekly stipend considerably.''
"How many steamers do they get
week?"
"One or two. sometimes three."
•'Work lively, don't they?”
“Yea; It's easier to take one of those
big leads on the run than to walk with
U. When they get to the gang plank

he would be likely to feel the bum. for
sometime. You will notice that some of
them wear broad leather belts Tills Is

the stmln."
"How rapidly can they load Die btef
aboard?" .
"On Monday evening, July 23. they lead
ed the contents of twenty-eight ears In
four hours and twenty.llve minutes. It
took thirty-six men to do tne v.h. le Job.
James Collins. Swift's foreman, who has
been at that work fifteen years, bossed
It. He says it eras the fastest work of
kind on record, to his knowledge. It was
the steamship Sagamore of the Warren
line. The men started at r,:2il p. m. and
finished at 11:25. Forty minutes were
consumed by the engineer In shifting
cart."
When night came a big incandescent
lamp, run by the ship's dynamo, was
swung over the hatchway, making every
thing as light as noonday. The negroes
had got their second wind by this time
and were huillli.g the beef up the gong
plank at a treat rate. So rapidly did
they travel over the distance between the
cars and tho ship that the great chunks
of men and bone fell upon the Iron table
with the regularity of clockwork, nnd
slid Into the hold In an ulntcrrupted
stream.
The beef, as It comes from Chicago, Is
lerrn into a hag of ouro whlto material
of patented weave, resembling cheese
cloth. This covering adheres elosely to
the general contour of tho fore nr hind
quarter. At ths corners, where It Is
tightly stretched, the cloth I* slightly
colored, but there are not nvr. tb-n two
or three of these psyches. The rlolh Is
sweet nnd clean and gives tho Impression
that the beef Is In perfect condition, as
Indeed It is. The only marks on the cloth
covering are the name of Swift and the
figures Indicating ths weight of the mass.
In its passage down the smooth chutes the
cloth tn not Injured u particles, and the
beef arrives on the other side showing
no evidences of wear nnd tear.
