BARNING A DRINK,

DOWN A STOKKHOLE ON THE EQUATOR." We had stready gone so far down, writes I., EN. in the Pall Mall Gardite, that it seemed that by going lower we should simply step through the ventel's bottom into the son. The aperturn revealed a sort of Black Hole; the

atmosphere seemed to be two or threa ́parte

· Aine Coal. – Away in the dis'ance was a clang of fron.

"The Gate of Hell," quoth the enginear. "Shut the door to keep the dust off the engines." The remark was characteristic of a ship's engineer. Nothing matters if the engines are running smoothly.

He led the way, holding aloft a lamp which dlusly revealed black, grimy iron walls, warm to the touch A right angle them, and we stepped into dim daylight. It was the stoke. hole. Imagine a narrow passage between the ands of two enormous boilers, and an iron room filled with coal; a passage to narrow that it seemed that if a tongue of flame swept out of the furnaces there was no escape; a passage

which received light and air only from the two long wind shafts through which you could catch a glimpse of the sky; a passage in which you saw nothing but iron and flames, and breathed coal dust. Two men were working | there, each man attending to ibres furnaces; powerful mer, but whether young or old, black. or white, bandsome or ugly, it was impossible to tall, covered with coal dust and moisture (water dripped from the upper regions).

Clang! One of them pressed down a lever, and a small door flex open. A sheet of flame attempted to follow, but the draught scapped it up, and hurled it back. Sometimes a fireman forgets to provide for this, and the result is a Lavere burning. The man seized a long iron bar, and began to cut and raise the great fire with. He stepped close to the open furnace, and as he stined the turning mass within, cinders and flames seemed to lick his face,

"That's slicing," said the engineer. "Now, quick," he added, handing me a large shovel. The freman throw open the furnace door..

"There's the coal behind you." It was— great lumps of it, heaps of fine stack, piles of cobbles. I grasped the weapon, and set to work. My first efforts reminded me of her saying A flower in a monkey's hand"- Malay way of expressing ineptitude. The mouth of the furnace was small; also it was Bame feet above the floor also the shovel was large. Yet the coal must be pitched well back into the fire, an operation which requires a peculiarly tiring, jerky twist of the wrist. At first it seemed fairly easy. I don't think I hit the boiler with the shovel more than once, and the times I missed the opening were not many. I worked with a will. It grew still easier. I séemed to be getting the hang of the job.

"Faster," cried the engineer, "you will let

the fire down,"

Then the shovel grew like lead, and a carious dull pain in the back irritated me. struck a main of slack, and the fine dust rose in clouds. could fool it sticking to my lips and getting in my eyes."

T

Beads of perspiration rolled down my face. I seemed to have been stroking aines day" break. An inspiration 1-

"Let me see the fireman, do it," I grasped, slowly straightening up

The silent black figure seized the implement I handed to him with considerable relief. Then he showed how firing shou'd be done. The coal flew in a stream far back into the flaming furnace. His body was rigid, but his arms worked like .Je pistons of an engine. was like a champion oarsman sculling against A novica The heap of coal melted away, and more began to pour out from the iron room beyond.

"Try raking," said he enginerr. This is the third process in the take-hole. The rake. proyed to be a sort of hoe, six or seven feet long. It was of solid iron, and its weight wat disconcerting. To pull the live coat towards you would not have bean so difficult. But It had to be pushed back from the mouth of the furnace towards the far end. As you pushed you had to approach the fire-if the rake slipped on the coal inside you stond a fair Chance of over-balancing and falling headlong towards the rearing flames. In raking you feel the real bita of jhe fire. The heat dries up your skin till you think it must crack¡'your eyes water and grow strained as you face the glare. By this time you are beginolog to feel Hmp. A long chair and an iced drink form your idea of Paradise. But you have really started. Firing. slicing, raking-fring, slicing, raking. And the shift is four hours, instead of the to minutes or so you have managed to get through. And the fireman gets "L4 tos, a month for working in this Inferno. -

Then the doctor took a turn. He damaged the boiler with the shovel for a minute or two, Suddenly an expression of compassion crossed his face. "Don't you think tho mẹo really do. 'Borvo a drink

I'm sure they do," "Well be tried to look at the heap of coal behlo'd him as though “he left it reluctantly—" let's go and order ona

I glanced once more round the grimy iron hole and wiped my face with a piece of coal black cotton waste. Certainly," I agreed, with some cordiality. And we went and did so.
