While at [30 dịu. the West Wharf 2300 tons of 60 địu. coal were put aboard in eleven hours, which takes some beating. when it is remembered that the vessel has side ports, and stages had to be erected to accommodate the coolies. The Empresa bosta on the Pacific run usually coal at T/T. Java ........ Nagasaki, and the way the T/T. Marka vessels are filled up from lighters T/T. Francs by the wonderful Japanese Demand, Pariz method of passing the baskets from hand to hand up a living staircase is the admiration of passengers.
