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.

"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.
