SHOW VAULT OF THE DOCKS.
Where 750,000 Gallons of Wine Mature.
THE MEN WHO TAP.
Waxworks pale into insignificance and stage smugglers' caves seem like a shadow of the real thing when compared with the unexpected sur- prises of the Crescent Vault.
The Crescent Vault is 127 years old, and is the show vault of the London Docks. Here port that has been round the world, and sherry that was pressed from the grapes when the present generation was young, lies in "pipes" and barrels and casks, row upon row, maturing.
Infrequent gas jets that cast little light, but keep the temperature at the
necessary level of 60degs. Fahrenheit, give off blue rays that make the surrounding darkness all the more intense.
And from time to time in the long corridors, some of them a quarter of a mile in length, one glimpses a circle of faces, half revealed by hand-lamps, bonding over a cask, like those of smugglers conspiring.
The quiet there is unearthly, and Is only broken by the voices of the bond coopers and a low, mysterious tapping.
Tests for Leakages.
The tapping is the sqund of the bond coopers going about their daily work of testing the casks for leak ages. They are guided entirely by the sound of the casks as they re- sound to their tapping.
Twice every day they have to complete the round of three and a half acres of casks. And eight men are kept busy doing this eight hours a day every working day of the year,
No one may cross the threshold of the Crescent Vault without carry ing a lamp. The lamps, serve the purpose of lighting one's way and also as a cheek on who is in the vault. For every lamp is number. ed, and the lamp man can, at a glance, any who is working there.
There
are three-quarters of a million gallons of wine in this one vault alone: Empire wine, ver- mouth, port, sherry, ́ marsalo, madeira, such as makes one'a 'mouth water to think of, and the duty alone on the foreign wines runs into a good-sized fortune.
But the bond coopers, the Customs men, and the guardian of the lamp, who live daily with these priceless 1/10 13/16 vintages, go home contentedly to
their pint of bitter.
